We Wish You a Merckxy Christmas

Merckxy Christmas from all of us at Velominati

From everyone here at Velominati, we wish you a very Happy Holidays, and temporarily suspend Rule 11 for December 24 and 25. Cheers, and thanks for being part of our little community.

Merckxy Christmas to all, and to all a good ride.

The founder of Velominati and curator of The Rules, Frank was born in the Dutch colonies of Minnesota. His boundless physical talents are carefully canceled out by his equally boundless enthusiasm for drinking. Coffee, beer, wine, if it’s in a container, he will enjoy it, a lot of it. He currently lives in Seattle. He loves riding in the rain and scheduling visits with the Man with the Hammer just to be reminded of the privilege it is to feel completely depleted. He holds down a technology job the description of which no-one really understands and his interests outside of Cycling and drinking are Cycling and drinking. As devoted aesthete, the only thing more important to him than riding a bike well is looking good doing it. Frank is co-author along with the other Keepers of the Cog of the popular book, The Rules, The Way of the Cycling Disciple and also writes a monthly column for the magazine, Cyclist. He is also currently working on the first follow-up to The Rules, tentatively entitled The Hardmen. Email him directly at rouleur@velominati.com.

@Frank
Same to you - and the rest of the crazy bike nuts that frequent this blog - have a great holiday, whatever brand you subscribe to.

Merry Christmas to all.

I've been following the Google Android development of their 2.3 OS nicknamed Gingerbread, when I saw this photo in the rss feed, I figured it was another "Gingerbread" themed thing. Either way, I'll be by tomorrow at 5am to eat some of those.

@michael
I'm pretty sure the one with the Molteni jersey would eat you.

@all
Merckxy Christmas. You're all fucking nuts and hardmen in your own right. All the best to you and yours.

I like that the one in the V-kit has a bit of a crooked smile, makes it look almost a sneer.

For the 24th and 25th, it just means getting up at 0500 to ride on the trainer as opposed to trying to fit it in during the day!!!

And, Merckxy Christmas to you all as well! May you all get Rouleur subscriptions and V-kits in your stockings!!!
