Rasterhoff Preview is up there! Don't worry, I'll give enough time for tactics now. Probably do the race tomorrow

Should be an exciting race, especially with the two leaders of the classification absent/in bad shape. Lipawsky might see a big chance at leading a classification here!

Looks like a good race, doesn't suit Lipawsky heaps, but it isn't bad for him and he has Pierre's help. Can't wait for the race, sending in tactics now.

I hope to do the race tonight. So stay tuned

Guess I can't read it until morning but I still can't wait.

As you see, no race tonight.
There won't be a race tomorrow night, either.

A close family member of mine has finally decided to give up the long fight and tomorrow he'll say goodbye and move on. Hope you understand. I don't know when I'll be doing the report, frankly I don't care at the moment. Maybe it'll be good to keep my mind of it, I don't know yet.

Oh my, my sincerest condolences Ian, sorry for your family's loss.

Oh, sincerest condolences to you and your family at this time mate.

My consolidations as well. So sorry to have this happen to you, no pressure at all from me to continue this game.

This is so sad

My condolences Ian, take a break from everything now, it's the only way to face such a loss. Good luck.

This is so sad
My sincerest condolences Ian,take a break from everything now,it's the only way to face such a loss.I hope you will overcome it.

Oh no
Don't worry about us, good luck man!

So sad, hope you get over it quickly.
As everyone else said, don't worry about us and take as much times as you need.

Thanks guys. It's been an exhausting day so I'm going to sleep. Some tough days coming up.

Though I take comfort in it that he felt it was his time to go and he called together the entire family and he said goodbye to each and every one of us. He went out peacefully and surrounded by everyone that loved him. I guess that's all we could ask.

Yes all the best to you Ian - always a really tough one to deal with.

Funeral was today, beautiful service.
I think I'll be coming back to this in one of the next few days.

Rasterhoff Report is finished. It was tough for me to write. One because I'm still not really over the personal loss... Two because I've been out of this "world" for a while now, so it's not that easy to get back into it and remember all the characteristics of this fantasy world.

Hope you enjoy it, though.

Apart from the result I did enjoy it

Great to see that this is still running Ian! But what happened to Mazzarelli
I can't even find him in the report, looks like he died after the start, which is not too unrealistic considering how much he likes the cold

But still, it's great to see this back, I kinda missed it

Take your time Ian. It was a lovely, great report though. Enjoyed all of it. Naturally.

You didn't forget my wheelie-order. Yeah!


I'd write more but I need to get to work now, already kept me reading for too long haha

Likewise at work - but great to see the report and I would say it up to your usual brilliant standard actually better in many ways.

Brilliant performance from Cook - though of course better by Vague. He is back big style and his season certainly could be a success despite that injury!

Looking forward to writing Cookie's next blog already.

As Shonak said take your time Ian
