What do you race?
I haven't done a mass start road racing in about a month and a half, during which I've been racing almost everything else. I just got back from Track Nationals, and I did my first MTB race today.
So, what bikes do you race?

Making a kilometer blurry
Road and mountain. I'm planning to do some cross this fall. Never a velodrome in any city where I've lived.

This season will see me doing some cross as well as the road. Cross is something I've always wanted to try and I can't wait to go suffer in the mud!

Crit and triathlon so far. I hope to do an RR and TT later this summer. I don't have a cross bike, but that would be a great way to satisfy n+1.

Mostly track, and mostly mass start races within that. Time trials are sick. I think I did 20+ track race days last year, and 3 on the road (2 crits, 1 circuit). I haven't bothered with any road stuff this year, but I should do crits-- I would probably do pretty well considering how I do on the track with people who do well locally in crits.

Road and mountain but I am thinking about trying out some cross racing this coming season.

I've raced a little mountain in the past and I would really like to try track some time, but at the moment I only race on the road.

I'd do it all if I could, but my preference is for RR and TT. I'm going to try some CX this year.
