T minus 77 days. The Impaler is sick of winter. "Death to winter," he roars. "I will attack you the way I attack wounded bats and narrow bridges."
2) Nordic Cross
The Impaler and the RRR crew have inquired about putting on a race. A date and location would be a good start. The season is scheduled to wrap up on April 5 with Norwood Cross, right editor?
Update: The Impaler reports that RRR has decided to pass on Nordic Cross after all. They think it is in the midst of breathing its last, gurgling breath before dying and want nothing to do with it. I'm sure the editor will prove them wrong with a rousing season finale.
3) MCA MTB Racing
The 2009 race season is just around the corner. The first cup race is shceduled for April 26, just three short weeks after the final race of the Nordic Cross season. I've already got my race license. Apparently, for the first time ever, so has the secretary. What about the rest of you?
4) Grass Track Glossary
Currently, all is silent on the Grass Track front. Gianni, are you out there? He's probably out scouting potential race sites. Always working, that guy. Check back later, Grass Track fans.
Update: There will be no Grass Track Glossary this week. The Grass Track Czar is busy preparing a quiz to test your proficiency with the terms he's introduced us to so far. Start studying, boys and girls.

You bet. I'm going to fall on winter and crush it. That'll bring spring for sure.
I wanted to poll people on the $25 Birch Trail addenda to the license. Is this something people are getting? I thought Birch was pretty boss that time I went as Kevin's friend.
Any thoughts on a Birch oriented FGBC venture?
Sorry - addendum, singular...
I have never yet bought a Birch Pass. Partly because I don't like paying to ride. But mostly because I know I'll never make it out there anyway. There are three races there this year. That is plenty.
Latin is hard.
hey matt, the birch pass allows MCA members to ride at Birch from dawn to dusk.
the birch pass also supports the effort to keep the place open and accessible to mountain biking. (insurance issues on private land).
the portage junkyard dogs have done a HUGE amount of work to keep that place open, i buy one as much just to support their efforts but i also do ride out there 2 or 3 times a summer. it's a great place to ride, too important to lose.
chris is just being a cheap menno.
if you think you will have some time to get out there for a couple of rides, go for it, they need the support.
Thanks for weighing in there Kevin. I'm now a card-carrying member of the Birch posse.
