24 Hours of Clear Springs Mountain Bike Race - For
the second year in a row, Team Buckwheat took first place in the 24 Hour
of Clear Springs mountain bike race in Clear Springs, MS. Rusty and
Jason were back from last year's team and joined by Ed and Mike
Lew. The course was very sloppy with all the recent rains which
actually lead Brian Coleman, the race organizser, to cut the race to just 13
hours when the course continue to degrade into the evening. Team Buckwheat

9. (read Jason's race report) |
