I'm sure you all heard CRG burned down...

Well, it's just another sign that cars are truly evil  ... The cause of the Watsonville fire, that destroyed CRG... hold on to yer socks kids.... fire investigators determined it was started by car exhaust.   Just saw it on the news.

Damn.

Man that sucks. Hope the insurance was paid up...

I'm glad I have some CRG stuff for now. I hope they can rebuild. We have fires all around up here too. Lots of smoke & stuff.

Maybe we should organize a NorCal Fireside Ride? We could ride from fire to fire, and we could all bring marshmallows and hot dogs.

I was going to go up to Wages creek to check out the fire the other day (Just a few miles from my house) but I saw in my minds eye that the fire crews would rather not have a bunch of spectators, so I pushed the bike back in the garage.

However, a Nor Cal ride sounds like a thing to do. I'm doing some riding at T Hill next Monday & Tuesday, and I think that's in Nor Cal, so count me in on those days at least.

I just got back from a trip to Redding, and it was solid smoke on I-5 all the way back to Fairfield.  I held a marshmallow out on a stick on the highway hoping to get some smoores action, but it just didn't happen. I just got bug splats and a back ache  from the drive.  Not too much fun IMO.

When I was just up at T-Hill with Maria, for the Z2 Women's VIP day, the track was surrounded by fires. There was a big one just over the ridge to the north, and another over the ridge to the south. The whole sky glowed orange all night, and the next day it was a smoky sunrise, and the lovely campfire smell all day. They were actually concerned about having to shut down and evac the facility if needed.

Down but not out.  From CRG's own website:

We expect that by Monday, June 30th we will have five mills running, so we will continue to supply the finest parts to racers and enthusiasts. Thank you for your past and future support!
