  Rosco Potter & The Staircase of Doom

  06.20.08 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  Last night saw what is hoped to become a regular Thursday evening jaunt to Carron Valley. After much e-mailing a crowd of us gathered at 6.30. I say, “crowd”, it was actually three…. I say “three”, it was actually 2 since one forgot his helmet. So with the words “muncher” &, oh, that other word [...]

  Big up ’nuff respec’ to the 10k massive

  A trio of Dons took part in the Men’s Health Forum Scotland 10K in Glasgow on Sunday. Given that our nation doesn’t exactly present itself as a picture of health it was encouraging to see so many men taking some responsibility for their own health & wellbeing. It was whippets to the front & beer-bellies [...]

  06.09.08 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  Stumpy Rider was near soiling his chamois as the last episode faded. Hold your nose and find out whether the effing coward kept it together long enough to complete a lap… Crossing the road and hitting the singletrack that heralded the first “proper” part of the lap, I was beginning to relax into things, being [...]

  A Don’s Tale Part 2: It’s All About the Bike

  06.09.08 | Permalink | 4 Comments

  We left Team Don Logan on the sauce at the top gondola station, swapping “amusing” anecdotes, quaffing cider and with nary a care in the world. After the knob gags, it’s perhaps merciful that the arrival of our 2 buddy teams who were each riding as pairs, you are spared, dear reader, the spectre of [...]

  A Don’s Tale Part 1 : Le Grand Depart/La Grande Arrivee!

  06.09.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  From the Tour de France to the World Mountain Bike Championships via the Vuelta, the Giro and the Sea Otter Classic, there are epic tales of triumph against adversity: the grimacing victor crossing the line with shredded shorts and a limp arm clutched against the chest; the miraculous struggle to finish with the broom wagon [...]
