Hello all,
Rude remarks, and personal jabs aside (see below) lets
just all try and have a safe race this year. remember
its the first race, we are ametures, so sprinting like
crazy in the cat 4 race(or any cat) for 12th place
isn't worth a broken collarbone or worse.

Cheers to Augusto, Erik and Mike!!!
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.

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.
