So Mr. Schuckster, have you learned a lesson from your itchy trigger

fingers?

As for Jason and all those who have stepped onto the complainers podium,

here is to a race season filled with flats and mechanicals.



Have you addressed the promoter of the race directly about your issues

with his race? I think not! Please provide your bosses name and phone

number so the next time he or she wants to criticize you they can do so

over the company blast email or overhead paging system.



As far as the level of prizes, you have got to be kidding. We are

amateurs who ride for the love of the sport. The sheer fact we get any

accolades at all is pure icing on the cake.

Would the promoter of Cherry Pie RR please contact me? I'd be happy to

donate some coffee to go with them Cherry Pies :-)

I think that's way out of line to complain.   







It takes a lot of effort to organize a road event. Almost nobody here

races for a living. If you are someone who does, I'd think you'd be

racing elsewhere.







And it's their thing - Pies. Yeah it's kind of cheesy, but no where

close to the cheesiness you just displayed, in my opinion.

Hello OBRA,







I am usually not one to complain about payouts at bike races because I

do race for fun, however the Cherry Pie Road Race just bugs me. I have

heard the past couple years it is the biggest road race of the year in

reguards to attendance, yet all you get for placing is a CHERRY PIE???

You train all winter, and if you place all you get is a pie? No one

else as a problem with this?







What do other people think of this? I know a couple weeks ago there was

some talk about prize lists and payouts at races. Why do so many people

show up especially people from out of state to race for Pies?







Maybe OBRA people just like racing for pies, and in order to increase

summer race attendence promoters should drop cash prizes and give away

pies!







I do want to thank the promoter for putting on such a great event, and

taking the time out the their schedule to put on the event, I would just

like to see you do better then donated pies as your prize list.
