8/16 update
Much has happened in the world since the last post. Let me tell you about a few of them.
1. LoLo Jones did not medal at the Olympics
2. the drought has continued in the Midwest and beyond.
3. the street in front of my office continues to be under construction.
4. Badminton came to the forefront in the Olympics
5. The voters of Lansing approved the sale of the former Red Cedar Golf course.
6. I trapped a skunk in my yard this morning.
Those were the highlights.
Regarding TNR; I have missed several weeks in a row, but have gotten reports back. The numbers have stayed right at 20 and the rides and weather remain superb. Random thought: we have had ZERO rain outs this year.
Regarding CFT Cycling: it continues to be an amazing first year with the podium tally growing every week. Congrats go out to Jay, Craig and Brad, they received their notification of Cat 3 upgrades yesterday. Further congrats to Craig for wrapping up the Cat 4 points competition.
Regarding a end of season get together: stay posted, details are being put together now.
Good luck to all at Gaslight

MILESTONES/AC-DC/STATE CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK
This weekly blog entry will begin with a link to some AC-DC music. There is no logical reason for adding this link, other than every good biker blog should have some AC-DC music now and then.

Milford crit:
This upcoming Sunday is a big day for Michigan cycling. State individual crit champions will be crowned in Milford. CFT will be represented by some worthy contenders in numerous categories. If you are not racing, try to make it and enjoy the festivities and cheer on your team mates. If your racing, good luck!!
TNR:
I was not able to make this past Tuesday ride and reports coming back from the field were a little scarce. This much I know. The weather was great, and there was approximately 20 riders. The ride was very fast. I know this to be true because Mark Warner said so, and Mark Warner is known to be an honorable man. Also, when the ride was not fast, it got faster, with black and white jerseys sprinting for an imaginary line. Then they slowed, looked around, smiled, saw that it was good and did it 5 more times.
Not to be lost in all of this was a marvelous milestone for TNR. Kari Sederburg, who has been racing with the cat 4 women this year, attended the Tuesday ride. Other than Leslie, Kari represents the first female to attend this ride in many years. Kari we are glad you are on board. According to Mark Warner you were right in the mix, and as mentioned above, Mark is an honorable guy.
Until next week; later.

one more time
GOOD LUCK CFT RIDERS THIS WEEKEND!
