The 9th and final Bubba race took place in Bellefontaine Park under classic Cyclocross weather conditions…misty…gray…a little chilly. It was the weather conditions that we racers had managed to dodge all season long. The women’s field was large. I think over 20 racers.
The first third of the course was fairly straight-forward. It was the second [...]

Another One Bites the Dust(I mean mud)
AuditoryAdrenalineAssociation
It has long been known that music has a profound influence on mood.

A weekend when 19 women gather to eat, drink, bond and be merry, oh yeah, and to ride mountain bikes, just has it’s own caveats, [...]
St. Vincent, Patron Saint of Mud
I bet $10 that none of us had heard of St. Vincent Park. I bet $100 that, after today, none of us will ever forget it. Hats off to Mike Weiss for spinning such a web of sadistic bliss.
The course started off innocently enough. A few tight turns and some moderate grades that led to [...]
