Over this weekend, a new Austin cycling blog, Hard Men with Soft Bellies, launched authored by Austinite Clif Wright, a man who was “once a soft man with a softer belly.”

Here’s text from the inaugural post explaining the site:

Dedicated to hard men, soft bellies, road riding, dirt riding, dirt road riding, french cyclotouring, rough stuff, fat tires, single speed, vintage racing, handcrafted steel bicycles made by mad wizards in mountaintop hideaways, beer drinking and a smattering of semi-sensical meanderings on the subject of cycling. Expect lots of photos, real world reviews, an ongoing list of Things We Like and some we don’t. And trust me, my road bike can ride that trail.

Sounds really great. We can’t wait to see more.
