This is waaaaaaaaay late and there’s not much I can say about it, other than that it’s a marriage of two things that I know are of interest to the Defgrip reader, so click here to check out the full article on the Ramp House in Athens.

Thanks to Jon Moak for sending me this link months ago.

PROJECT LE TOUR

I’m not gonna lie, I don’t really ever watch the Tour de France, but I do respect it for what it is.

With that said, THESE PHOTOS of the Tour are awesome! Photographer Brent Humphreys gives us a good take on the Tour, including all the rad details like the fans and all the sideline stuff. This site was also easy to click through, which is a plus.
