The best part of the afternoon was seeing the old cross barriers (Version 1.0) still in their hiding place. Looking a little worn from a winter of snow and ice and a spring of showers, they still worked to perfection [...]

(Nicholas Roche, non-replicant version) Watching the Tour Sunday, I couldn’t help notice Nicholas Roche’s pain face up the final climb of the day. After a cursory search there was nary a photo to be found, but it was pretty crazy looking. His mouth was stuck in this frozen “Oh” shape, like he was trapped in [...]
So for the past few months, I’ve been wracking my brain about what hood/handlebar tape combination to run on Jacques Lobster.

Or is it, “Discretion is the better part of valor”?It’s funny, The Blog has been reading a lot of post-Double Down recaps online.

I had a quaint little tale of an encounter with a Copperhead while riding the beloved Jaqcues Lobster on the Palmetto Trail (long story short: mistook aforementioned Copperhead for stick and almost ran over it.
