Wow, didn't we just go through this?
Unless you are a pro, you are paying an entry fee for a sporting event
that you do as a hobby. No one is forcing you to race, and you should
treat it like paying for any other hobby. At least cycling keeps you
physically active, outside and with some healthy competition. If you
think it's a good deal, pay up & play. If you do not, stay home & ride
the beautiful roads of Oregon. If people think it's too expensive and
races don't get attendance, either they will drop their prices (if
they can & still make some amount of profit), or the races will dry up
as people can't/won't pay entry fees and organizers get tired of
losing money.
