You may have noticed that event results usually include a link to a photo sharing site called Flickr.  It's a great site and frankly our Club website photo sharing/galleries and uploading capacities pale in comparison to the features Flickr offers.  Flickr is free and we are working on a way to integrate Flickr use into the CFA website.  In the meantime I've set up a Group Pool where you can upload CFA photos.  Go to http://www.flickr.com/groups/clubfatass/ to sign up for Flickr and the Club Fat Ass Group.

...and they look hot.

The 2007 shirts arrived back from the screener yesterday.  I will label and package them tomorrow and let you know pick-up details via email later this week.  If you paid for shipping you can expect your shirt in the mail sometime next week.

What comes after a morning of fun in the sun and snow at the Club Fat Ass MMFR?  Come and find out on Dec 10 at Pure Satisfaction.  I can promise you distance, terrain, weather and time, all in the extreme nature of a classic course on the North Shore.

Hi guys and gals,

Please come out and join us on Saturday, 2 Dec, before the Christmas season kicks into full gear!  Sorry for the date change but circumstances were such that we could not pull off the event and instead of canceling we opted to postpone it.  There is snow on them thar hills and unless it rains or warms up by next weekend there should still be a light dusting that makes the trail absoutely spectacular!

More details and registration here.

See you next Saturday. 

Cheers, Mike and Melissa.

After the torrential rains Vancouver and especially the North Shore Mountains experienced, there are some bridge issues on the course of the Go Home. We're determining if the course needs altering a bit. If it does I'll update the course description before the run. It will only be a minor change.

Please join Club Fat Ass and Runner's Den for a entertaining and informative evening on November 22nd that explores the lunatic fringe of running:  The 100-miler.

There is a horse race in the gold rush country of California called the Tevis Cup.  When his horse went lame at the start of the race 34 years ago, Gordie Ainsley decided to challenge the course on foot.  Gordie ended up running the 100-mile distance faster than some of the horses.  Like Forrest Gump, he started a trend.
