A few weeks ago I finished building my first fly rod and I thought I’d post a little bit about my experience.

Operation: Liberty

First Mtn. bike ride of the year

Last chance to vote. Italy or France?

Doug Smith
I was hoping for a Portugal - Italy final. It would make things interesting here on The Drive. I’m glad that Portugal lost though, their flopping on the ground every time the ball was inside the box was a disgrace.
