BICiLEAKS - PROLOGUE EDITION

At a recent Keepers of the Cog dinner at the Sandstone Cafe at Terrey Hills it was suggested (by the Bellingen Bandit no less) that the old “In the 11 Cog” fake news blog on the original BiciSport website should be rebirthed as BiciLeaks … sort of a cycling fake news, at times reality web blog, or a trashy gossip column with a hint of bad taste & lycra clad sarcasm … sort of a cycling facebook without the pointless pictures of food or your latest overseas cycling trip that nobody really cares about. In the old days it was taking a cheap swipe at the Click to Cart Credit Card Cycling Club when there are now far more interesting discussion topics to be had. Lets begin the chatter from next week.
