2010 Operation “Shock and Awe” is building steam.  The upcoming 2010 race season promises to be another great season of mountain bike racing with several familiar races such as the flat and fast and ever so fan friendly Warda race, the muscle burning twists and turns of  Flat Rock Ranch in Comfort, Tx, the widely popular trails of Rocky Hill Ranch in Smithville (welcome back old friend), and the miles of mudd slop fest that was so much fun in Cold Spring, Tx.   “Wayne, how the hell are you?!
