Ever seen the Three Stooges try to put out a fire? You should have seen the Spooner FD at work on this bad boy. Thankfully no one was hurt, but if the SFD would have been two minutes later, the house on the right would have been a goner for sure. About 5 minutes after this pic was taken the trees went up in flames and the roof of the house was catching was burning pretty good.
















Now that's a huge bitch. That's right, the fork has 8 inches of travel and after taking it full throttle through some super tight single track and some wicked downhills, we used almost all 8 inches. If you look closely in the background, you might be able to see the Chequamegon team vehicle.

(From the newest member of the PureJenius.net staff (who, by the way, is paid >well So I've been perusing the MCF board tonight and I still can't believe how many guys are whining about the races and race categories that promoters choose for races. I'm pretty good at whining too, so here goes: I'm a 35+ Cat 3 woman who will show up for the St. Cloud Crit and have to toe the line with Cat 1/2 guys - I don't give a shit that they're 50+, their license still says Cat 1 or 2 (and 3/4/5) and they race like Cat 1/2s.

0-2

Dammit. We played so well but still lost. Here's some highlights from week 2 of our football league. we actually scored. we had a playbook (we laughed when we saw the team we played last week had a playbook. They kicked our asses) Strats is our go-to female QB. She connected on all of her passes. Two of them stick out: one perfectly thrown interception to the other team (we wear yellow shirts, she threw it to a girl wearing a white shirt), and one hail-mary to the end zone. I didn't drop any of the passes that were to me. Nobody got hurt...yet. I can almost smell a torn ACL heading our way. I'm going to hang an old tire in the back yard so Strats can hone her QB skills a little more.
