Universally good

Fred Machabert is a guy I’ve known for a few years, a well known face on the French MTB scene as he used to work for Bike mag over here. 

On the way down to last years Roc d Azur I gave him a lift – spent a nice few hours chatting over stuff; life, work, bikes (of course) and his ideas for providing a better MTB racing information site. 

Well, he’s now gone off and done it, and I have to say that after a few months of fine tuning it’s proving to be a very useful reference – after today’s UCI DH WC he was the first to upload results (yes, before the UCI itself…)

My only “complaint” – and one I warned him about – is that by writing in French he’s rather limited his audience, however if you don’t mind trying to decipher another tongue, do go and check it out, it’s well worth it.

Where is it? oh… how about here?

Foux da Fa Fa….

Frikkin’ genius! Cheers Mig for sending this through to me, it’s pure frikkin genius!

I’ve been trying to find out the name of this series for ages – I saw one episode at about 3am on a long-haul flight, and had to bite the person in the seat next to me to stop myself laughing…

Anyway, here is Flight of the Conchords Episode 8

Spreading the love….

one WordPress page at a time…

Since Mig Pilot got me switched onto WP, I’ve dumped all my stuff out of .Mac (which i will keep using but more for family stuff) and built up this here WP site.

My old buddy Ben has been suffering from not enough Mac time, and too much riding, so I noticed that his website was down… so I decided to spread the love and threw together a quick site for him.

If he’s not yet managed to turn on the domain forwarding, then the site will be here, otherwise it might be here?

cool blog to follow

The Lopes 55

Lopes 55

In the US there is a purpose built, and frankly superb truck based on the Mercedes, badged a Dodge, called the Lopes 55.

Fairly obviously it’s the brainchild of Brain Lopes (himself no stranger to Europe, probably where he got the inspiration from?) who then went back to the US and spoke with Sportsmobile, who know a few things about campers and toy haulers. 

Trucktrend have a nice review
