New contest: What did you do on your MTB vacation?

(We've extended the deadline on this contest until September 16, 2006.)

THE CONTEST: Lots of you have taken mountain biking vacations this summer. Tell us about your trip! Just share a few words about where you went, what trails you rode, what adventures and/or mishaps you had.

Your entry can be short -- no need to write a long essay, unless you want to. Add photos if you like. We'll reward the most interesting and creative entry.

THE PRIZE: We've got a really cool prize for the winner: 3 pairs of Spenco Cycling's MTB Series mountain biking gloves. Your hands will be covered for all seasons: Heat Wave gloves for hot days; Trail Pro for most of your riding; and Cold Snap for chilly riding days.

RULES: Just share your biking vacation by posting a few words to YourMTB.com's MTB Stories area. Deadline: September 16, 2006. We'll select the best story and award the trio of gloves.

You must be at least 13 years old to be eligible for the prize. Your physical address must be included in your YourMTB.com user profile (otherwise we won't be able to ship it to you!). Story must belong to you and be original. Judges' selection of the winner is final. Please review our official contest rules.

HOW TO ENTER: Submit your best vacation story to the MTB Stories area. We'll pick out the winner from among stories posted. Deadline: September 16, 2006.
