Last nights Autumnal extravaganza was a: Tank slapping, mud churning, TFI climbing, Post Hill conquering, Keepers Lane commiserating, hip flask swigging, tangfastic devouring, pootlers sliding, legs exhausting two and a half hours of pure riding awesomeness. That is all. Fat Lad

Fat Lad’s Service
October 21, 2009 – 1:59 pm
Dearly beloved, clearly warped, sometimes vagrants and always pedallers I welcome you to this short service in memory of Summer. A fickle mistress she has blessed us with few scant hours of warmth and sunshine but delivered us from long dark nights. Last night’s rolling sermon in the hills and grime of Mirfield reminded us […]

Fat Lad’s First
October 12, 2009 – 10:08 pm
We all know that feeling. You never forget your first. Many will come and go. Some brilliant some not so much. But you never have that same feeling again.

October 9, 2009 – 1:47 pm
Gah! Didn’t really want to do two weigh in posts in a row but hey ho life gets in the way. Double Gah! I put a pound on this week 🙁 The festivities surrounding the entirely arbitrary decimal nature of our societies and my third decade were entirely to blame. That and a lot of […]

Weight: 13 Stone 2 Pounds (182) Waist: 37 inches Loss this week: 2 Total loss: 5 So I’m losing mass but my belly doesn’t seem to be shrinking… Must be a faulty tape measure.

Fat Lad Has a Moment
September 29, 2009 – 1:50 pm
This is a draft I’ve dug out that I never quite finished, I started typing this as soon as I got home of this particular Pootle Crew Adventure but by the end of the third paragraph the moment I was so urgently trying to commit to word had gone. It’s not here on the screen, […]

Fat Lad Takes a New Path
September 19, 2009 – 11:21 pm
Losing that precious hour of sunshine due to a no-show rider I summoned the will and wherewithal to still head out for the mind clearing soul cleansing home run. Available distance to be judged on the fly, limited by time and the capacity of lungs/legs. I followed the well worn trails of my hometown, the […]
