Hey, I raced 4/5 at Tabor and I got last place and I want everyone to know!!! :)

I think it is unfair to ask the officials to keep track of all places. What difference does it make if you beat me, an out of shape amateur.

I know there is not enough time in the current schedule, but it would be cool if the 4's and 5's were separated.

the next thikg everyone will want is times too. that way we can know that not only were we 87th place ( give me a break on needing to know that place) but that we were approximately 12 minutes and 38.99 seconds down on the winner. maybe we should get ribbons too? the kids races hand them out.

bike racing is about the "W" and not about who got 35th, or 56th or whatever place. maybe get bent out of shape if you missed the podium, but not for places 60 deep.

Be thankful this is OBRA and not USCF because if it was, you would have gotten the whistle early in the race.

we race to have fun, not to get a number. personally, i dont get bent out of shape about whether i was 10th or 25th place, i just look back and find the point in the race where the guy who won dropped me.

have fun, show up to race, but the officials already do more than enough.
