Fat Lad is Getting Really Quite Fat Again

“F*ck me sideways! I weigh how MUCH?!” was the alarmed call that rang out this morning in Casa de Muchacho Gordo. The alarmed call from our scales was “One at a time please porky!” So as of now I’m going to try public humiliation/shame as a tool of motivation. The Victorians had their freak shows […]

Fat Lad Enjoys Another Man’s Ride*

*Alternatively, Fat Lad: It’s not about the bike… Far far too long ago now, my beloved Elvis cracked. A nasty seatpost weld fail took it to the great bike scrapheap in the sky. In the two years we shared together we’ve done some serious hills both up and down I’ll miss you my mistress… Phew, […]

Fat Lad’s First Week

Don’t worry this little piece of MTB heaven will not become a blow by blow account of my new vocation. No that will be for Twitter once it stops eating my SMS… So a great first week, despite just one day of disaster. I have remembered two things about bike shops since starting: You really […]

Fat Lad’s Fresh Start – Repost

For some reason the rss didn’t work for the scheduled post so I’m reposting it in the hopes the rss starts working again… Well, it’s been an interesting few months in Casa de Muchacho Gordo. I think it’s more than fair to say; I don’t suit office work. The miserable professional details are only for […]

Fat Lad’s Fresh Start

Well, it’s been an interesting few months in Casa de Muchacho Gordo. I think it’s more than fair to say; I don’t suit office work. The miserable professional details are only for those involved but it’s safe to assume all parties are happy I’m no longer an inmate of a modern glass and steel prison. […]

Fat Lad is a Muppet*

*you guys got The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Benny Hill. We got The Muppet Show. I think that’s a fair swap 😀 On Sunday’s Ladybower not supposed to be an epic the outer running to the front mech split leaving me for pretty much all ride on granny ring alone. To be honest it […]

Fat Lad is Prepared*

*Or alternatively Fat Lad says dib dib dib, dob dob dob….. On last nights very slippy but quite frankly more-fun-than-grown-men-and-women-should-be-allowed-to-have-whilst-clothed ride I splashed through the stream crossing and while putting out the enormous power of my thighs there was a satisfyingly loud crack as the folowing happened: Now, we’d not been riding long and I […]

Fat Lad is…

More than a little fed up… Just a teensy weensy bit frustrated with life… But still alive and still riding I’ll be back with more tales of pies miles and smiles very soon indeed Fat Lad
