Finally, a race worth reporting about! I did the Piney Hills Classic mountain bike race here in Louisiana this weekend...the trails are freakin' cool on a normal day, but it was a mud fest all weekend. Short story: mountain bike racing is soooo much better than road racing, I got really really really muddy, and I pulled out a win in the short track, time trial (how sweet is a mountain bike time trial?!), and one of the toughest xc races I've done.
