Big Ringers Unite
Brother Merrill sent me this story. It does not involve riding but it does embody what it means to live in The Big Ring.
Daniel is a 30 y/o war vet that has been through some shit to say the least. I am no fan of the war but I support 100%, the […]

Big Ring Down Under
Way back in 89 my pal The ToneMan loaded up my 1983 Mercury Cougar and headed to Californy to see what all the fuss about the NORBA National Series was about. We hit Big Bear first and set up camp. Back then even most of the Pro’s camped. Some guy named Greg Herbold […]

Slave to the Grind
After weeks of painting, flooring, cleaning, boxing, swearing, bleeding, spilling beer, grunting, and being more grouchy than normal I have completed the relocation of TCOTBR world headquarters to a new fortified underground bunker in the West Utah Desert. This means I can get back on the bike on a regular basis. The last few […]

Have We Failed?
Today while I was at work and should have been working , The Wolfe forwarded me a post from the site of the great Maynard Hershon regarding his decision to stop writing for cycling mags (BTW thanks Gewilli for the plug). Here is an excerpt:
Scarcely anyone waves back today. Last month a hipster on […]

The Cobra Stikes
I have to admit that I have not had much time to follow the Giro. There are many things happening at Big Ring Ministries, most notably I am moving the world headquarters a few miles down the street to a new house. Lots of remodeling and other busy work has left me with […]

Weak
Today at the Giro Russian rider Pavel Brutt commited one of the 7 Sins. Sloth is perhaps the most vile of the 7 Sins. Only the weakest of character will attempt this despicable act. Pavel Brutt you have brought shame to our beautiful sport, repent now!
I wonder if David Millar threw his bike […]

This is a lot more impressive than any of the dudes in skinny jeans skidding videos that seem to be all the rage. Hey fixie hipster, you just got owned by a bunch of Euro girls!

Get Out and Ride
So for all you who asked where are the results from Slipstream I think you now have your answer. Too bad about Zabriskie, dude can’t seem to catch a break. I have ridden MTB’s with him and his skills are legit, does not make sense to me. Anyway speedy recovery Brother Z, and […]

Help a Brother
Cancer, f*#&ing cancer. I would say it is pretty much impossible to find someone who has not had their life impacted by cancer. It does not discriminate, it just destroys. I am sure most of you read Fatcyclist, if not you are missing out. It is what I hope this site […]
