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

Subject: [OBRA Chat] The Pies Have It!
Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2006 09:25:35 -0800 (PST)
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!

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!!!)
