G'day
Welcome to the auskadi blog, one of my various lines of flight. I can't promise anything but ideas, the odd story and news. Globalisation, technology, post anythingism ... and bikes ... lots of bikes .... Lets see what passes. If you want to use anything here just ask me martin.hardie@gmail.com. I am not buying into all that creative licence fetishism. Just ask and we can talk. Recent Photos

Euskaltel Euskadi 007 - A time of metamorphosis and rejuvenation.

The best of Basque literature is full of butterflies. In the work of the great contemporary Basque novelist Bernardo Atxaga butterflies fly in and out of the scenes and the scenery, commentating at times on what they see. It is their bright, visual presence that enchants us, their imagery and symbolism. ... more »

Four years Ago Today, on A hot Sunday in Valencia I wrote a story for a cycling website .... below are some excerpts ...(I have inserted a few comments today) Maybe I didn't know then, but in many ways Tyler and Floyd were then the future of Cycling - and a very sad and dishonest future it has been.
Stage 8 - September 11: Factoría FORD - Factoría FORD (I.T.T.), 40.1 km - Tyler starts the fight club on September 11 That fight club has maybe been a life of delusion .... of self delusion and deluding others more » Monday, September 4
In search of V - la Vuelta part 2

La Vuelta end the first Act .....
In search of V Cycling is a bit like life, well a lot, and writing as well , nobody owns it, it is a matter of things flying back and forth, collaboration, affect, the composition of bodies out of different materials, and so on. Some of the things we do and are at any given time come from outside of us, we fold them up and they become us. The Vuelta is a place where you can make friends, enemies, see and hear the highs and lows of it all. It is a search that continues even when it is over, even before it has started. And not being so big as say Le Tour, not being so big that those considered the biggest have it in their sights, means maybe that it is a little closer to reality. And reality is like everything, a double sided machine, it pulls in two directions at the same time, and the task continually is to find a little space in which to breathe and live. The Vuelta is beyond good and evil, it simply is the Vuelta. more » |
