UMTA Branded Apparel

Apparently the World’s Largest Trials Rider is also a marketing genius…. he has been hard at work as the club secretary…. which may make him the World’s Largest Secretary, but I digress…..

He has created UMTA Branded Apparel that you can buy from the comfort of your computer screen this very minute!!

Personally I like:

Snow Cover Map

This is neat…. I check this once in a while to see if there’s any bare ground nearby. A week ago Nebraska was partially snow free but looks like they’ve been “hit”.

 

Is this thing working? (my first post)

Just a quick note from the new(er) webmaster – many, many thanks to Griff who has done a great job with the website and many other things, his creation is a well oiled machine, that will hopefully leave more time for riding.

He has also made the change-over quite easy thanks to his WordPress for Noobs course at Your Thick Skull. Yes, I’m sucking up to the teacher in hopes that I get a good mark.

If anyone has any ideas for the website or things they would like to see included, please let me know…… Here.

An overflow crowd showed up for the 2010 UMTA awards banquet last Saturday.

Retiring club president Gordy Boggie and club treasurer Vickie Boggie got a standing ovation for their years of service. New club president Ryan Schmidt took over.

My new camera is taking me a while to get used to. Apologies for the crappy quality of some of the photos.

Photo album: Theilman, Oct 24, 2010

For the last event of the 2010 season, I took the day off from riding and spent it taking photos of the riders. I finally got around to sorting through the 400 photos, deleting most and cropping many.

Some fun sequences:
