Hello OBRA,



I think many of you misunderstood my previous e-mail. And after

re-reading it I understand why many of you took the attitude you did,

and I apologize for all those I offended!



I believe Daiman hit the nail on the head the best with his e-mail

though, Why do the "MTBers" want more money and complain about prize

lists (or lack there of) and Roadies are content to race for pies? It

is a great question, why the difference in attitude?



So, since I am a wild and crazy guy, this is what I purpose since

everyone in Oregon loves pies as prizes so much!



Cherry Pie Road Race, Prize = Cherry Pies

Banana Belts, Prize = Banana Cream Pies (of course)

Dorena Lake RR, Prize = Apple Pies

Ice Breaker Cr it, Prize = Sweet Potato Pies

Piece of Cake, Prize = Cake (Duh!)

Kings Valley RR, Prize = Blueberry Pies

Willamette Valley Stage Race, Prizes = Stages, Marion-berry Pies,

Overall, Ice Cream Cake!

Silverton RR, Prize = Strawberry Pies

OBRA Rehearsal Race, Prize = Cheesecake

OBRA Championships, Prize = Double Decker Cake (who needs a medal!)

High Desert Omnium, Prize = Banana Splits

Eugene Celebration, Prize = Brownies with a lil hemp (It is Eugene after

all!)



This would save promoters a ton of money, as they wouldn't have to give

out cash prizes, and everyone would get a yummy dessert that everyone

loves so much!



J-Shucker



PS. If you are humor impaired, this later half of this e-mail is a JOKE,

I am not being serious. The serious question is in the first half, why

are Roadies ok with Pie and MTBers want money? Let the debate begin!



PPS. To every promoter in the state of Oregon, THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY

much for all your hard work, effort, and time you put into your events,

they all are the best we could ask for! (seriously!!!)

It is not about roadie or trackie satisfaction and more about Oregon racing

tradition> I am a transplant via jersey LA and have over the years learned

to embrace the events near and dear to Oregon racing, each with it's own

special features. As for prize lists prize money Mike Murrays original

response covered it all, promote a race then join the grand complainers

club. We should all be greatful and yes thankful to all those promoters who

steepped up to give us events almost year round, let alone the volunteers

officials and sometimes sponsors it takes to make it happen. Just a thought

there is no rule against your boss or company putting up prize money. Lets

digress and remember we love this sport or we would'nt compete it takes a

special breed to live through the training bumps and bruises we must live

with to call ourselves cyclists, proven most recently by all those who

showed up to race ice cross at the blue lake blizzard. CIAO
