I know the guy that wrote that letter. If you click on Heather's link in

the Cherry Pie thread and stay til the very end of it all will be

explained, coincidentally.

Is OBRA kicking in for Oregon 'crossers?

Editor:

Seems to me the members of the Oregon Bicycle Racing Association need to

step up to the plate and contribute some money towards the team USA

Cycling

is sending to the cyclo-cross world's. With five riders coming from

their

district and race fees from OBRA not going to USAC, I don't think it is

fair

that the members of USAC are paying their way to 'cross worlds. OBRA,

correct me if I am wrong, or step up to the plate and kick down some

money

to pay the expenses of the Oregon riders going to 'cross worlds.
