… well, not because of mud, but because of damage to Zilker park and its trees.

Straight out of an Onion article, the irony here is that music festivals like ACL and SxSW cause more damage to the parks here in Austin, expedite erosion and in general, thrash the town, yet a bike race in a small part of a park that no one uses gets shut down by Parks and Rec.
… or we can just say it’s cancelled because of mud. Check out a BTB TV report going live in a few.
Stay tuned on Twitter for news, because I’m going riding.
