What was I thinking? I converted my only possible race bike into a ss.

Therefore, when I race this year it will be ss. I guess I jump from

Beginner directly to Expert. It is no big deal to me. I am not

expecting any great victories in any category.



Question: If I race in the proposed SS class, does that also

automatically elevate me to the elite level? Could I still race in the

general Sport class without any SS designation if I chose to?



Bottom line: I don't really care what the outcome is, even as a newbie

ss. The most important thing for me is burritos after the race.

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.
