I'd not put the two together, being from across the Atlantic. But, as we approach next weekend's <a href="http://llanwrtyd-wells.powys.org.uk/eventbogbike.htm">Mountain Bike Bog Snorkeling Championship</a>, I'm amazed the sport isn't better known in the States. Though, after reading about it from the <a href="http://www.myra-simon.com/bike/bog-snork.html">2000 Woman's champion</a>, I think I'd rather participate in their <a href="http://llanwrtyd-wells.powys.org.uk/eventmanvhorsevbike.htm">horse racing marathon</a> (there's a big bonus for crossing the finish before the horse) or bikeless <a href="http://outsideonline.com/outside/sports/200108/200108bogsnorkel_1.adp">bog snorkeling events</a>. What sporting events are there where you're from that haven't yet gotten the world wide audience they deserve? post:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.26796 Fri, 04 Jul 2003 11:03:02 -0800 bragadocchio UK Wales Welsh Powys LlanwrtydWells Llanwrtyd sports bogs MountainBike bikes cycling snorkeling http://www.metafilter.com/26796/bicycling-in-the-bog#513676 god damn that's funny. the biggest unclaimed prize in british athletics can be yours, friends, if you can run faster than a horse. comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.26796-513676 Sat, 05 Jul 2003 00:23:07 -0800 mokey
