Oh no, I just noticed it's March and we're still commenting here

Is this the twilight zone?

Regardless, no one is gonna get me to pay to ride the roads that are right outside my front door. I could ride to Onyx right now, if I wasn't fully aware that it's currently about 30º at the summit.
I agree about Jackrabbit, I enjoyed it. Got to be careful picking your line on 25mm tires, but no cars so it is a nice bit of variety on the route. BA is well run and well supported and riding with a few hundred other crazies makes it fun. Worth the money to me.
