Mike's Blabberings

OMBC has published a tentative schedule of mountain bike races for 2009. The madness begins this month! I won’t be able to make the first race, as it conflicts with PyCon, but I’m hoping to tear up Vulture’s Knob soon thereafter. I’m getting antsy to get out there and see what all the beer and potatoes has done to my fitness level. Time shall tell.
