UPCOMING EVENTS

Saturday November, 2004 9:00 A.M. Men's Breakfast and Rifle Shoot @
Church

It must be quite a small church to present much of a challenge. Are AK47's
allowed, or just the standard columbine fare ?

actually we go shooting, rock climbing, bowling, cycling, fishing and
all kinds of other cool stuff together. the church that plays together,
stays together. there is no sense in church being dull. at some point i
will get pictures posted of many of our events.

RVD,
this is my first full season of covering bike racing. i am still deep in
the learning curve. i hope to get better at it as time goes by. i will be
covering stages 10 through 21 of le tour de france this year.
my goal is to find several other cyling fans that will submit photos of
races in their area for me to post up. i don't care if it is a local cat 4
crit or a grand tour. it is all cycling. motorcycles and motorcyle racing
is going to be the next section added to the site.

actually that is still under construction. my site is kind of piece milled
together due to the extraordinary number of topics i am jumping back and
forth to. i originally started it as an attempt to show some of the local
climbing down here in the south and i just keep asdding stuff. i think i am
approaching 500 pages of content at present and it just keeps growing.
since i have a real job and actually get out and do all of this stuff it is
sometimes hard to get to everything everything i start finished in a timely
fashion. right now i am working on a major update to my antique car section
that i should upload over the weekend. i am sure ya'll can tell that i am
not a professional web designer. i had never even done anything website
related until i started this project. most of my updates are done during
the winter when the days are short and i am not motivated enough to ride the
trainer. i average between 1,500 and 3,000 hits per day with some days,
like during the tour of georgia, going slap crazy. ya'll will notice there
are no ads or obnoxious sponsor stuff to put up with. this is strictly for
fun and not profit. i have at least a dozen more topics to add, lots more
info to add to the existing topics and imagine i will keep adding stuff
until i die of old age. i do have a section lurking around in there about
my business so that i can justify letting the company pay for all of the
server space so as it grows i'll just keep adding server space and bandwidth
till it breaks me. most of the comments i get are positive and i am too
thick skinned to let the negative ones bother me. most of the folks that
flame me haven't even tried to do something like this so i just let it roll
on past. if any of ya'll want to contribute anything just send it on.
about 80% of the photos on the site are mine and the others are from friends
and folks that just email them in.
thanx,
michael

My, aren't we all an open-minded and tolerant bunch today. Diversity
includes people who like to play with guns and have tea at church as
well as Yoo-row-peens with funny names.

But back to the topic. I see some promise in huey's site, but I can see
why press credentials were denied. Huey's enthusiasm and promotion are
commendable but, to be blunt, the website and photography need some
work. There's nothing on the website that tells me "current bicycling
news." The webmaster sneers about "ugly" bikes but then uses a camera
with a cheap plastic lens for his photography. I see ride photos, but I
don't see much in the way of news.

With 30+ image loads on each page, those 3000 "hits" translates into
about 100 page loads and maybe about 50 distinct visitors per day. With
visitor stats that low a substantial percentage of those hits will be
search engine spiders crawling your website.

Improve the quality of the site, get a decent camera, read a book or
three on photography, then try again for press credentials next year.
Make it something that people will be interested in visiting.

When the hell has tolerance or diversity been promoted around here?
The PC version of it is the standard here, any real diversity of
opinion is actively attacked, denigrated, and discouraged. Hell I miss
Tosi's stuff even though I find him reprehensible as a human. He's way
out on one end of the spectrum, but even the moderate right get's
hammered around here while the anarchist/violent socialists get a free
pass because cycling in America is predominantly a white collar,
college indoctrinated, elitist sport.

Johnny took his gun and Ack Ack Ack Ack
Johnny shot me down Ack Ack Ack Ack
Like this: Ack Ack Ack Ack
Like this: Ack Ack Ack Ack

All the papers crucify Johnny
All the radios shout his name
All our little children love our Johnny
Because he took his gun and Ack Ack Ack Ack

Johnny, he's my hero,
Johnny, he's my joy,
Johnny took his gun and Ack Ack Ack Ack
Johnny shot me down, Ack Ack Ack Ack!

The Urinals, "Ack Ack Ack Ack"
