I’ve imported all the old posts from Blogger dating back to 2002. Whew!
Most of the images embedded in those posts seem to work. Of course, links to the old pages on our website no longer work.
More to come…

I’m going to start working on an overhaul of the UMTA site today. I’m going install WordPress.
So for a while, you won’t be able to find stuff. And don’t be alarmed by the boring look. We’ll spiff it after we get it running.

From UMTA President Marc Redman:
The board met and made some adjustments to our 2007 schedule. The following is the updated 2007 UMTA event scheduleApril 21-22: Theilman
May 20: Mankato – Tom Hoppe Property
June: 9-10 Gilbert
June 30-July 1: Duluth – Haggis – Spirit Mountain
July 22: Hixton – with WOTA
Aug 4-5: Theilman
Aug 25-26: Duluth – Spirit Mountain
Oct 20-21: Theilman – Central Regional Series (Non UMTA point
event)
The WHY to the changes involved financial considerations, national NATC scheduling conflicts, trialmasters desires, club member input etc. Of course we are really excited to be able to ride Duluth again this year… 2 times to make up for our missing last few years  ). On the not so good news side, we have decided to institute a $5 per day land use fee on top of our normal registration $$ at the Duluth events to offset the new cost for us riding at Spirit Mountain. Of course if the cost disappears, the land use fee for the riders will too!!
