World Entries, France Road Champs Photos, Doucet (That's Me!) Heart, Asturias Championships, Swiss Championships

...and hello SSW fans, it's kind of you to drop in and say hi ;)

Whatever your plans are this weekend, make sure you enjoy it amap (that means as much as possible). I am headed to Detroit for the Wolverine Inline Marathon and perhaps to Elkhart on Sunday for The Great Race. A few friends from Toronto will be there as well. I really really (really again) hope that it doesn't rain.

This entry will finish the catch-up from the last weekend, but first on to more recent news-

World Entries: If you like to look at flags AND also you like to know which contries are going to be at this August's world championships in Cali, Colombia, then click here

France Road Champs Photos: This set of 200 photos of the France road championships from francois_and_marie is fantastic- I find that looking at them is like eating chocolate; it's too good and delicious!
