August 28, 2007 – 4:35 am
Let’s start this with a little bit of good news, Fat Lad has a new bike. It’s very light, it’s very quick and it’s very orange: It’s maiden ride was at Sleepless and in hindsight riding a new barely fettled bike at an endurance event was not one of my better ideas. With my latest […]

August 15, 2007 – 11:27 am
The weekend of August 10th 2007, with it’s crystal sky full of fluffy white clouds and diving swooping propeller planes was more than reminiscent of a Mint Sauce strip and perfect for this years Kona Sleepless In The Saddle.

July 19, 2007 – 2:15 pm
Out of the coral and with my adrenalin up I was flying. I was actually passing other riders….. I don’t think I have ever had the opportunity to utter the immortal words “on your left”. It was a proud moment for chunky cyclists the world over. Not long after the first climb I paced with […]

Fat Lad’s Own Brand of Mayhem – Pre Race
July 3, 2007 – 2:55 am
Juancho seems to think this particular corner of t’interweb has become a little soft lately. He may be right. As always things are not as straight forward in the weird and wonderful world of Fat Lad and in the first two weeks of marriage I managed to be poorly with a horrendous virus for six […]

Fat Lad Rides Dashing Dave’s Delectation
June 6, 2007 – 1:06 am
While the-soon-to-be-Mrs Fat Lad was somewhere in deepest darkest Wakefield confusing the wedding dress lady with her ever shrinking waist, I was firing across the M62 heading towards a far too early rendezvous with Picky and Dave for trails of the unexpected.
