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!!!)
