Must Escape Snow

East coast has been getting pounded (by east coast standards at least) for the last couple weeks.  Bike riding has been in the form of watching bike DVDs and E-biking on all the bike forums I hang out on while calculating gear inches, and perfecting tubeless sealant recipes.  Luckily the city of Charlotte has come to save us.  Sunday the 16th marks the beginning of the Charlotte Short Track Series.  It takes place in Renaissance Park and consist of a mile long course that is a ton of fun.  It incorporates road, singletrack, pump track type rollers, and the most amazing chili EVER.  The best part is that the races are held regardless of weather.  The trail has been armored specifically to combat the time of year that the series is run.  So bring your cross bike, singlespeed, tricycle, penny farthing, whatever.  Come ride bikes!
