The Return Of Short Track


Monday night marked the return of the ritual that is short track mountain bike racing. Nobody told Chip, so he showed up with a single-speed 'cross bike and kicked ass anyway. Eric Stolberg also made an appearance, racing in the beginner class and instantly threatening to move up to 2's and ruin Geoff's fun.
All in all, fun and challenging. Everyone stayed upright. Strangely, many people found the whoop-de-doo's to be the most challenging part, as they tend to throw your rear wheel into the air. The ruts were good fun, too.
Kinda like cyclocross, but without the long drives to get there and the freezing-your-ass-off part.
Get out there if you haven't already. And don't brüise your gründel.
