Nothing says "race day" like snow. Scott loaned me (Rebar) a jersey (thanks, Scott!) on April 19, so I figured I'd race on April 20 in the 23rd annual Snowslinger...err..Mudslinger. Pacific Power Blue Sky was well represented. I was one of two fools on a cross bike. I managed to rack up eight full-body dabs.

Congratulations to John Wilson who won his category! I know we had other podium finishers and will post soon.

After the race it was still snowing lightly.
