April - My favourite month of the year.

The best month of the year.

April.

The days, months and years are different, but they all start the same way.

 

 Roasters of considerable note.

 


We've already had the pleasure of Fabian crushing the cobbles at Rhonde Van Vlanderen.

Watch him say bye-bye to Tommeke up the Kapelmuur.

If it doesn't work - pop it up!

 

This Sunday is the 'other' Roubaix.  Paris-Roubaix.

Handsome George must be due for a win, he's been riding it for close to 20 years!

Tears for gears.

 

 

August National

With the same veracity that I watch Le Tour, I used to watch the Masters at Augusta National.  I know the course like the back of my hand and that's just from watching it all through the 90's.

There have been so amazing editions, but none more clear the 1996. It was like having teeth pulled watching the final round.

 Pop it up!

 

 

Another special place in my heart.

Pull out these hubba hubs, spread them into some classy Ambrosio's and lace them with stainless spokes.

Miss April 1977.

You'll find more goods for sale in the fyxshop - and if you can't find what you are looking for chances are it's just not listed.

 

 

I'd do anything for love.

You may be wondering why Melburn Roobaix doesn't coincide with the 'other' Roubaix this year.

It's because dear friends are getting married.

When I got married, and The Boss and I scoured the town asking then strangers to be our witnesses.

The lady who kindly accepted said  'I'd do anything for love', then called her husband and demanded he take off work to make the ceremony.

 

 

 
Lovely.
 
 
 
More.
