A Tour of Californee

Written on February 27, 2008. Written by The Rev.

I will admit I did not see much of the coverage of ATOC.  I did watch the final stage last night and two thing really stuck out to me.  The first was the world class level of douche bagery ofRock Racing’s Mike Creed.  Made the break, refuse to work.  Not even close to Big Ring. 
Holy wool shorts […]

An Opportunity?

Written on February 25, 2008. Written by The Rev.

As I was reading CNN today, wedged between the Britney and Clinton/Obama “news”. I came across this story. Surprisingly I was not consulted for this story, probably because no one really leaves The Big Ring. Spread the word Brothers and Sisters, The Big Ring is rolling.
I am having a bit of a personal quandary as […]

A Miracle?

Written on February 20, 2008. Written by The Rev.

Cipo on the podium? People still willing to hire Tyler?  Zabriskie’s mustache? Impressive yes, but the miracle is that something useful (besides Gojira) has come out of France, a self repairing rubber. The evil spectre of flats may finally be bannished to the depths of hell from which they are spawned.  (no word yet if Astana […]

A Tour

Written on February 14, 2008. Written by The Rev.

The Tao of The Big Ring

Written on February 11, 2008. Written by The Rev.

Big Ring knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its wattage, no fading in the sprint; it can outlast anything.  Big Ring stands when all others shift to the 39.
He who controls the field sprint may be powerful, but he who masters The Big Ring is mightier still.
From The Big Ring comes courage.
I […]

Sinner Or Saint?

Written on February 5, 2008. Written by The Rev.

Ever wonder what happened to the guy who designed the logo for Poison?

Seems he has found a job with Rock Racing.  This is impressive as it manages to do two things previously though impossible, make a DeRosa ugly while making ’80’s hairbands look a little less ridiculous by comparison.

Somewhere Col. Kurtz is muttering: The horror, the […]
