Did a quick search of the forums and I don't see anything for this year so I figured I'd start something up.

Anyone here going? Participating in the races or any of the hoopla?

I'd like to go down there and watch on Sunday for the finals, cargo race and side events. Is spectating allowed/possible? Obvious total newb here, but would love to watch the pros get'er done.

Also Kaz, what's the story with your TinyFix BBQ? Care to share the "deets"? (as some folks be callin' them theez dayz)

Hey man, wanna buy a hat? Cinelli. ( that's eye-talian )

There is a rides and races subforum for this stuff. Why didn't you post it there? You posted the Tour de Fat thing there and it seemed like the appropriate place. Do people not check it?

Mods, please move thread if you like. Sorry gang. My search for "CMWC" yielded results only from previous years and all that I saw were from the SSFG forum so I went with it.

Plus it's not just rides, it's bbq and hangs and movie night (Line of Sight) and parties and concerts...
Apparently it's almost a week of stuffs. I sure ain't no messenger but I would like to check some of it out.

Oh man, Carleton's gonna be so pissed you used the word "thread"

Are you being serious? I don't know what else to call it?

Carleton's beef (and I kind of agree) that it is BY DEFINITION a thread, so you don't need to call it one. The title could just be "2012 CMWC".

Noted. Thanks. Next time for sure.
