Guilt Free Thursday: Calshot Winter Track League

We don't really know where Calshot is, and we're trying to avoid learning because it sounds all Southern and would ruin our tough Northern veneer. Apparently the Calshot Track League is pretty much operating at a loss and needs more support from local cyclists, which sounds like just about every other track league in Britain, really.

Because it's getting late in the afternoon and we actually forgot we were going to take the unprecedented step of writing two updates today, we've not got anything planned to write here. We don't even have a proper press release, so we can't just copy and paste that. We DO have an entry form that we were presumably supposed to upload here, but we're not going anywhere near it because we get enough Word documents to deal with at work.

But you should definitely go to Calshot Winter Track League if you live nearby or whatever. One of our London colleagues informs us that it's very fast and less than two hours from central London, which are presumably supposed to be good points even though they sound like very bad points.

Further literature: How the proper cycling media does these reports. We'll get the hang of it soon, maybe.

Next Guilt Free Thursday:
We'll promote some more good causes. Feel free to email us about your event/company/poncey sculptures; it'll make a nice change from all the "you're just compensating for having a small penis" nonsense we normally get.


Some old updates that aren't entirely awful


And there'll be even more coming to this spot just as soon as we can be bothered trawling through our somewhat embarrassing archives.

Simon and Anthony


Nigel and company


Johnathan & friends, even though they're always last with the news and the website is horrible


Dutch cyclists we like because they're better/more attractive than British riders

Bobke Strut is so good that it deserves a category of its own

Arrr, bike pirates

George!

Things we hate so much we're not even going to link to them

  • Trust But Verify
  • Trek
  • Assos

Our e-mail inbox isn't just for Japanese gambling promotions and the latest advances in penis enlargement chemistry, you know

What's the word "derailed" got to do with bikes anyway?

  • Err... bikes have things called derailleurs? Apart from track bikes, which don't.

If derailleurs evolved from fixies, how come there are still fixies?

  • Survival of the fixest.
