bad news and great news...


bad news first...i will not be in attendance for the cmwc'09 taking place in tokyo. i know, i know...not like you cats care but i was hoping to go and rep dispatchers worldwide...ha! sorry simon. instead, i will be on the daily grind here in chicago saving and waiting, and waiting, and waiting for the 2010 cmwc. why? cause it's going to be in the country where my parents were born...GUATEMALA!!!

holy shit! are they serious or are they just pulling my chain? i've heard rumors of this taking place there before so i don't know what to think just yet but i am not lying when i say that im literally shaking just thinking about going back. i love guatemala and especially love the area that this will take place...panajachel and all around lago atitlan. this is too exciting...

if i remember correctly this will all take place not to far from "las aguas georginas"...the water comes out of the f*cking volcano for a bath like you have never had. how nice will it feel to steam in that b*tch after a long day of racing in the hot sun? as if this wasn't enough great news they are also planning on reincarnating the figure 8 track...

A reincarnation of the original “human powered rollercoaster”, a figure-8 bike racing track featuring an “over-under”. The Guatemalan version will be made of clay with a wooden bridge. It will be a featured attraction at CMWC 2010 and serve as the primary pre-event.

o.man.this is too exciting and i really hope this happens. i can't wait for the madness that guatemala will bring. check out the main site here...oh, and if you cats are good to me i got family and friends all up and down this country...you might have a nice place to stay...peace.
