some thoughts.

here are some of my thoughts.

...and by thoughts, i mean, "things you should do immediately".

- bike throw dot com should stop talking about being bigger and better, and start working with swanson the younger, and his amazing results machine, to provide minnesota with a full-fledged bicycle news and results juggernaut. that mcf site is just a message board.

- mn velodrome dot org. wtf is going on? can we put up sob story about how we need some cash or something, so if someone accidentally stumbles across it they might learn something?
is this site just dead?

- speedfixracing dot com rider introductions are piling up. and they are very tactfully worded... i would be pissed if i were some of those reviewed. but that's just me.

- according to rumor, team urkel riders are now out of a job. many of these guys probably gave up on an idea of being a "pro" and whatever a long time ago, and have resigned to racing and riding "for fun".
but, by pulling the plug smithers has let them experience the excitingly uncertain life of a pro cyclist first hand. kudos.

- crossniacs cyclocross racing club/team is also new. their site was neat and had lots of good/useful info, but has degenerated to a race report dump. downgrade! formerly a b-minus, now a flat c. go way back in the history to find some good stuff. let's step it up boys!

- cog magazine is printed up. go get a copy. hopefully i will get a stack of them to give out soon.
i hear that i may get to write an article for the next issue, because they like my stlye of bitchin' and whining. fingers crossed.

- lgr has big big signings this transfer season. big big big. holy crap. big. look out.
we are accepting applications until the 1st of november, so keep that in mind.

- this photo kills me. everytime.



- thedispencer blog-o-rama, has a big big interview in the works, too. look out.

that's all.

please understand while there is a comment section, i don't actually care about your opinion.
you know what they say about opinions.

w.r.t mnvelodrome.org - since racing season ended, I haven't really come across much of anything to post.

anyone can register and submit content, or email it to admin@mnvelodrome.org and I can put it up there for you.

I anticipate there will be some new direction for the site after the next volunteer association meeting, and some new content to generate.

You've already got Tuffy. Who can be bigger than that? ;-)

PREDICTION: mnvelodrome.org will be dead in 6 months. Who is the audience? What is its purpose? what does it accomplish that can't be seen/accessed from other more easy to use sites you don't have to 'register' at? It provides nothing. Period. That's right, I'm a hater. But I call them like I see them. It does nothing...
shoot it in the head and put it (and all of us) out of its misery.
