As you all may have noticed the BHL has been sluggish this last couple of days. Games are being played late and the site has not been updated regularly. This is due to the commissioner falling upon hard times. As you all know the comish also races mountain bikes in the semi-pro category. On a recent trip to a pro race the comish's car got totaled and he is left without a car. The comish lives in a rural area and just going to work is now a problem. Of coarse being a student he is broke so most of his time will now be spent biking to work. The BHL will continue according to the comish but may only be played as time allows. "Better than nothing. I really love my owners and I don't want to let them down.", Bill told the press Monday morning.
