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.

Life just makes more sense when you are rule #33 compliant.
@piwakawaka yep, nothing worse than having hairs poking through the bibs. Just shows disrespect.
In fact, there should be some lexicon term for such a look - I'm just not creative enough at the moment to propose one.
@Asyax
Don't listen to @mcsqueak or @piwakawaka.
The standard is "You're shaving your legs. Stop where your legs stop". Shave more if it floats your boat but such endeavours have nothing to do with #33. Do not stop just above the tan line. This results in the dreaded wookiee shorts look which has been known to frighten wives, small children and people of the trees everywhere.
@harminator
Agreed...one does not sport the "hairy boxers"
Think about where you might contract road rash. If you have a rash where your thighs meet your ball sack ("baw sack" in Glaswegian), that is not road rash and there is no need to shave there. Up the outside of the leg to the glutes? Affirmative.
First properly hot day in the UK today since last Autumn. These chickens need some sun.
Doesn't matter how hard I try I always miss a spot, usually at the bottom of hamstring
@mcsqueak
Correct answer. Plus one badge to you matey!
@motor city
How do you like the Morvelo stuff? I've been running across it on the internet a bit recently, but never seen it here in person.
