Tim, Sounds like a very good idea to me. In response

to your questions I would simply have the SS start

behind the Expert Class. This way we would have the

longer distance plus we would hopefully not get overly

backed up on the tight climbs etc. If my memory serves

me correct we would even have a later start time,

right?

 Singlespeeders,



I would like to find out how much interest there is

in petitioning OBRA

promoters to have the singlespeed class race with

the experts instead of

the sport riders.   



Last year in most of the races the top

singlespeeders were faster than

the sport riders, and it seems that most of us

would be quite capable

of racing a longer course.   I, and a number of you

that I have talked

to, would be happy to do 2+ hr races. Last year's

state championship

was 1:08 - that's not a lot of racing for the money.



My questions are:

1. Would you prefer to race the sport or expert

course

2. If races were on the expert course, would you

not race?

3. If races were left on the sport course, will you

not race? (a few

people I have talked to, I included are considering

this)



Come on folks, we are supposed to be hardcore - lets

do some real

distance.
