Rarely does a day go by that a photo from mountain biker Sonya Looney doesn’t come across my Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram feeds, but this shot from 2010 is one of the best. It was taken during the inaugural seven-day Brasil Ride stage race in 2010. Nothing like a good mud bath to bring out a smile.
