As many of you know, there’s been a lot of synergy between BIGRINGRIDING and Velominati for several years now. Though BRR and Velominati have very different flavors, we work on a similar principle: foster passion for the sport through a mix of knowledge, history, and humor tempered with a healthy dose of irreverence, all while obviously making things up as we go along.
It seems only natural, then, that we should work together and thus it is with great delight that I present our monthly feature with the Big Ring taking his capitalized view on a Rule of his choice. No better Rule to start with than my personal favorite, Rule #9. And remember, it’s more than just a chainring, it’s a state of mind.
Yours in Cycling,
Frank

With only one season here, the chances of me getting ice on my brim is zero to none. However with the mercury hitting 37 deg C today I came over the last climb somewhere between medium and well done.
@starclimber What about the two bisons?
@frank ah! That's looks beyond my possibilities, at the moment!
@Buck Rogers What about the two bidons
@Mirko
That's true about the pump/tool, but I've always copped it on the hips/shoulders and knees, to the extent that the phone I've had in my back pocket has always worked fine for the inevitable whimpering call to mummy to come collect me because I've had a boo boo.
Wilkommen as well, btw.
@minion Vielen Dank!
Not sure this entirely marries up with the persona that carries across in the lead photo
@JohnB
You bastard - that was near four hours in a gale - bit warmer than expected at 2 degrees C so not all bad.
@strathlubnaig
Nope - at least one eye has to be frozen shut to count
@Docbrian
Bisons are what @minion and @marcus wash their hands in.
