F1 Spa start

Super cool, except that Massa “jumped” the start.

I look at this now and can only shake my head.

Into the Wild

Smithers — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 16:37:33 +0000

I once crossed the Rio Grande here in late winter one day I was out fly fishing.

I thought for sure that I was going to die. The feeling of all that water rushing past your legs along with the lack of secure footing is really terrifying.

Ground Zero

Smithers — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 18:23:04 +0000

The attacks of 9/11 were way bad and stuff. The site of the Twin Towers is ~~hollowed~~ hallowed ground. We all must remember, respect and honor those who died there.

That’s why the only appropriate construction that can ever be considered for that site is a fucking office building.

Registrations coming in! #fb

Smithers — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 22:28:23 +0000

We’ve had as many people sign up in two days as signed in up the first month of pre-registration last year!

Front row staging spots are filling up fast? Have you registered yet? What about your greatest rival? Maybe you should check and see if they have already booked their starting position?

Get signed up! Save time, money and start up front!

Registration opens tomorrow August 11 at 7am central time!

MCF VP! #fb

Smithers — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 21:10:24 +0000

Now instead of criticizing MCF decisions based upon hearsay and gossip I can criticize MCF decisions based upon first hand knowledge!

Seriously though, thanks to all the MCF club representatives who voted for me last night and special thanks to Kevin Lennon for his support of my nomination.

As I stated last night, I am pretty opinionated but I know that not everyone feels the same way I do so I will endeavor to try and forge a compromise between those who are totally 100% right all the time (me) and those that are totally 100% wrong all the time (everyone else).

I already have some ideas that I would like to propose at future meetings, so stayed tuned for more. I welcome any ideas that you might have on how the MCF can continue to grow and improve cycling in this great state (and lame western Wisconsin I suppose.) Please e-mail me at any time with your suggestions or feel free to join in the inevitable discussions that I am sure I will generate on this crappy blog that no one reads anyway.

As angry Vino once said, Onward towards make glorious futurez!
