Hi members and friends!

I am happy to announce that the new Club Fat Ass website was officially launched Tuesday 10 May 2005.

Jesper Olsen near Kamloops during his World Run.

In response to a posting from me he writes in his forum:

Thanks a lot for the Potluck :-))) As you can see from my answer to Ean I MUCH enjoyed the compagny - and later came to understand that it was representative for the warm and supportive attitude that I have experiensed throught my first month of running in Canada !!! ...

Only one danger remains (besides the bears... ;-) ; that I will become so pleased with running up here that the thourght of running back to europe wont be appealing ! ;-) And we cant have me circling Canada for the rest of the decade ;-))

Hi,

It's been a long time in the making and there are still a few loose ends to address, but I would like to get your feedback on the new CFA website at:
http://clubfatass-com.bryght.net/

I hope to replace the old site with the new one in the next week or 2.
