The Cobblestone Classic
I was on a shoot recently with photographer Ian McCausland, and the subject of cyling came up in conversation – which isn’t necessarily unusual, because Ian knows I am a cycling nut, and is something of a cycling nut himself….
Roman Holiday
Some of you may recall a very special invitation I received a while back from my friend Esther and the rest of the kids in the Physics Department. My presence was requested to witness a reenactment of the presentation of…
Time Warp
Last night’s TTT exceeded even my ridiculously high expectations. It was, in fact, so overflowing with awesomeness that the Birds Hill Park loop will be awesome well into next week. Maybe longer. The teams were out in full force, and…
Vietto’s Tears

Envy
Today I am feeling envious, which may indeed be one of the seven deadly sins but considering The Rapture has come and gone, I figure I’m safe. Today I am feeling envious of Hal, an avid cyclist as well as…
