A Few Links

Oh rants, where art tho? Seems like a wedding in Manhattan in August was just the ticket for suffering. And then, it wasn't suffering at all. (Thanks Thomas Keller) Not oh shit the mountain is on fire suffering. Not five busted ribs, busted clavicle, busted scapula and collapsed lung suffering. Not three months without a job suffering. Just hot, sticky, smelly New York. Does a body good. Praises to those who suffered this month, may September begin the uptick of better fortune in your worlds. Onward. Link dump: Busted Carbon. Extropy. Apparently Rupert's son is a bit of a twat too. Vontz, drilling it. When pink becomes purple, raffle.

Alright For Saxaphones

Sometimes

you just say Damn. Dangerous Minds, bringin' it to the blogosphere.

Off The Back

In the TdF, it's not always the battle at the tip of the spear that presents the greatest challenge. Great video of three off the back - tryin' to make the time cut - in Stage 12 this year via What We Do Is Secret who got it from Clarence. Snob's take on LeMond. Bet he's off-duty. Crazy stuntwood. Epic doc from Yvonne Chouinard. A belated happy birthday to Tetris.

Hardwork For The Weekend

Woosh There It Is

Proximity To Serious Consequences

Probably a good idea to check over all the nuts and bolts when you've not had the rig out of the garage for a few weeks. Then again, this more than likely happened on an errant pothole, not before leaving HQ; discovered it when a sharp left downhill turn felt a little weird - thought it was the stem bolts and found this instead.... Fortune has it that A - the bike stayed upright B- the stem stayed attached to the steerer C - it was all only 1/2 a mile from homebase. Fun little barefoot uphill walk home, counting blessings that it didn't end on the deck and in tears. Go ride.
