    Not Big Ring: Sly not racing at all!

  3. Flahute says:

    Not Big Ring: not sticking around to help tear down a course post-race, when you’ve raced for free …

  4. Big Ring: the course and overall vibe at the Big Sky, MT cross race Saturday
    Not Big Ring: cancelling Sunday’s cross race in Bozeman, due to bad weather (WTF), at 6 PM on Saturday…after many have already traveled to the race.

  5. Nathan Phillips says:

    Big Ring – Not complaining anonymously on a blog. Not being fined two grand for turf replacement by the City of Bozeman. Not getting every cross racer in Bozeman kicked out of Lindley park. Taking responsibility.

    Not Big Ring – Hiding behind an anonymous title like ‘Cycling Junkie’ and bashing the circumstances surrounding a race on a blog and not to me directly.

  6. Nathan Phillips says:

    Big Ring – Keeping a level head.

    Not Big Ring – Responding to blog comments when I am pissed. Sorry ‘Church of the Big Ring’ for using your good idea not as intended.

  7. 3MTA3 says:

    repent thy sins brother phillips & ye shall be blessed. you are truly enlightened to the majesty of the big ring.

    can i get an amen?

  8. Brother Andrew says:

    The canceling of the race in Bozeman was a true buzzkill, but at least they’re gonna try to make it up. Brother Phillips, I’ll see you this weekend at Rolling Thunder (look for the Primus kit), and I’ll bring the booze.

  9. 3MTA3 says:

    way to share thy holy sacrament, brother andrew!
