Good job! It sounds like you had a real blast out there, and that's the point, right? 3rd is awesome!

I'm thinking seriously of getting a mountain bike in the spring. I've always been a roadie, but after reading thread after thread about how fun mtb is, I want to try it. I've actually always wanted one, just never got around to it. Too much in love with the road, I guess!

Are you going to do any more racing this season?
