Thursday night, the Schwinn cruisers were freed from their holding pens and the local burrito establishments were alerted to our imminent arrival. We came in force this time with numbers anywhere between ten and one thousand. There’s a scene from a Simpsons episode where I think a rampaging horde of Homer clones sweeps through a [...]

Rachael at Palmetto Cycling Coalition sent word about this a while back, but it’s only now that The Blog has gotten around to posting it. Sorry about that RK Rolling! Anyhoo, The Nickelodeon, Columbia’s only theater for movies that don’t involve blue bug-eyed weirdos in 3d or 1980′s horror movie villains that weren’t particularly menacing [...]

In the world of Dungeons and Dragons, The Axe Of Dwarvish Lords first appeared in the supplement book Eldritch Wizardry.

First of all, The Hawley Blog’s road racing buddy, the Portuguese Man of War, Tiago Machado, brought the pain and finished a cracking 39th out of 159 at the Tour Of Romandie prologue.

George? Joshie? These knuckleheads and their completely unfounded dislike for baskets with lids??? Open basket fetishists! I don’t [...]

Nantucket Basket’s Miacomet features a Khan-friendly lid, Kirk-proof leather handlebar straps, Sulu-esque brass buckles and neuron-gobbling earwigs for both young and old. Large enough for a severed Spock head, but small enough to not overburden the front end of your favorite cruiser… Inquire within……. our sales department!

Hawley makes first burrito ride for year of 2010. There was much happy time on bicycle last night. For the having of beer and food with then the bluegrass musicing. The riding was enjoy and many smiles make for faces! Front gauntlet keeper Marcie, new purchaser Patrick Augustine and Karen make the debut on Burrito [...]

Sales manimal Teenwolf goes through mountain bikes like most people go through Kleenex. His latest addition is a plucky lil’ OIZ Orbea he has named Alejandro Bocadillo in an allusion to its Spanish lineage and love of New World colonization. Still light-headed from this Double Down nonsense and buffoonery, The Blog can only show photos [...]
