Ø Finally someone in OBRA land opened up to look outside the box. He may
have even explained it better than I had.

Yes, those of us who disagree with you are simply too close minded or myopic
to see the real truth; the real strength and beauty of those who lack skill,
leg speed, or tactical sense. We?re too dense to understand the need to
sugar-coat and foam-pad the entire world to make it all safe for the lowest
common denominator. I bow to your obviously superior insight, understanding,
and knowledge of bicycle racing.

Tell me, were the sprint finishes significantly safer in the dead flat
finish of the old Cherry Pie course near Harrisburg than in this terribly
dangerous Hagg Lake finish? Oh, that?s right, the only proper finish is up a
steep hill as anything else is far too dangerous and/or fails to select the
most ?talented athlete?.
