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

IT’S GIRO TIME, IT’S SPRING. COME CORRECT ON Rule #33 PEOPLE, OR YOU’RE LETTING THE FUCKING SIDE DOWN. GINO AND FAUSTO WOULD NOT BE HAPPY.

    Are you upholding the "I do it for crashing" line?

    I do it because it looks fantastic. The "real" reason is for massage, which I bet none of us get.

    i wrote an article on this for Cyclist - I prefer to blend into the rest of my bodyscaping, but its your call. I'm also not very hairy.

    Just for fucks sake do your feet and toes too.

  • and dont any of you bastards start posting pictures of manscaping into a V sign

    Not really, no. I also am motivated in this by aesthetics.  Hence, my initial remark above:

    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.

    The later remark is just a holdover from my youth, when I was insecure enough to want a justification for the practice in general and, specifically, a rationale (any rationale) for where to stop cutting; now it's just force of habit to think in those terms.  But, of course, habits can be silly.

    I living in Asia, I am blessed by being able to get a regular cheap massage ( just avoid anything titled volcano massage....). I find in does make the massage a bit smoother but the difference is limited. I think it just looks good on a bike........

    The big downside however is that coz its alway hot here, I always wear shorts  and have to put up the constant questions about my sexuality........

  • My enduring complaint about Rule 33 is that the BFGs are so damn big that by the time I've finished shaving the second one, the first one isn't compliant anymore.

  • SO FUCKING DOPE!

    I am still all fired up from the Casually Deliberate photo on BigRingRiding from a few weeks back. They're better be workin' it smooth, or else...

    Don't let the side down, Followers. DON'T!

    Thanks for the 2nd installment BRR.

    I envy you your T-levels. However you came by them...
