Folks, this is an article from Chip, FE's chapter 2 president. Very nice one at that. Fatbob

Hi folks

Well, its been a very long winter, and us in the U.P. are still waiting for the snow to dissapear. We are working on updating the website, the frontpage, the calendar of events page and a few other things. I hope that folks start using the blog again as its great to hear from everyone and find out whats happening around the state. We will be starting another riding season soon, so be careful. I am looking forward to FE's events as well as everyone elses, as I hope all of you are. Take care, Fatbob
