We’re heaping coals on the Giro frenzy that’s burning in all corners of the Cycling world by issuing the second installment of the monthly BigRingRiding Sur la Plaque series while at the same time kicking off the Six Days of the Giro series where we’ll post six articles on the subject of this, the best Grand Tour of the year.
Yours in Cycling, Frank

Sur le Plaque, en effet!!!
+1 Frank! Rule 33!
I am struggling today. I am announcing the winner of our little FB contest on the shop page and while the entire all-star all-time Team Paniagua p/b Cafe Roubaix is near ready for its official presentation, I am one cyclist short. I need one more master of the V to represent all that is great in our sport and I have come to blank for the "Management" selection. The team consists of the following, as voted on FB by our fans:
DS - Marc Madiot
Team - The Prophet, Major Taylor, Edwig Van Hooydonck, Christophe Bassons, Ryder Hesjedal, Jens, Faboo, and Sean Kelly.
I have narrowed my general manager selection to this short list:
De Vleaminck, Bauer, Coppi, Bartali, Pantani, Magni, Kupier, The Badger, Fignon, LeMan.
Fuck me with chopsticks...
All damn year is the right time to be correct on rule 33. End of.
Ha.
Just did the guns this morning in preparation for a self-supported century this beautiful weekend in the PNW. I may be an old fat little fucker, but by god I'll look as fantastic as I can.
Ok, ok - if one is to truly enter the order of the Velominati and become Rule #33 compliant, where does one, ahem, stop?
Stop at the eyebrows.
@mcsqueak
Correct good sir!
Bugger!
@Asyax
Became compliant for the first time in 30 years of pushing pedals, this summer, take it slowly until you reach a height you are comfortable with, start with just above your tan line. It's a high maintenance game for some of us but I haven't had results as good in a long time and against Lycra it just looks right.
