Welcome to the Tue, 01/05/2010 – 02:10 edition of Off Topic! You are looking at the next step in the evolution of VCN, the Off-Topic page. Have you ever been frustrated because you had a burning desire to call someone a sandbagger and could only hope to be timely by posting your comment to a photo gallery page or on a page describing a charity ride?
Well, your prayers have been answered! You can post your comment from the home page and it magically comes to rest here with the other orphans from the land of Misfit Comments. The page gets refreshed every day, but not to worry! Each day’s page will be archived and treasured, so you can look back on past pages with pride, shame or disgust-depending on how the day’s conversation went. So post away! We’ve got an internet to fill up.

More douchebags weaving in and out of traffic and “trick riding”. When will the next trend emerge to sweep away the fixters?
wow – I would ask if Roll was high when he wrote this, but I think that question may be redundant.

Even if Roll wasn’t high his editor was.
Well the Hog hasn’t had much experience editing in English.
This feels a lot like a coordinated effort over there at VS – what’s next Phil and Paul blogging about how Alberto looks fat in his Tour Presentation suit?
