if you get a chance, it is a really good dozen-or-so pages

mayo has such amazing style in his writing
i find his love of the sport truthful and raw
while at the same time his elitism exposes his (at times comical) abrasive nature
in short he's a jerk on bike with some good stuff to say.

in these stories, he is the ultra-cool, toughguy, stereotypical "anti-hipster"
but it comes off a little too bad ass, as if its an affectation of an imaginary lifestyle
which then makes you wonder why he wrote this in the first place.
which then makes you wonder why you read it

"what is this an instruction manual?"

.

now i'm not sure who sent it to me,
but I seem to remember that there was a whole "keep it on the DL" vibe about the transaction - almost as if it wasn't intended for mass circulation.

I don't know if these are the wishes of mayo, or pure lies

either way.
its good stuff
