With a sport not promoted by the school system we need to find balance between safety and encouraging kids to race.? If we make it difficult it will be hard to encourage kids to come out on their bicycles for more than just a kiddie race.? They need to build up and be able to have experience and strength on the bike for Junior Racing.

I have raced against Mike and his son Sam.? Some of our fondest and most inspirational memories are of the two of them on the tandem.? I think what is being proposed is both safe and reasonable.? I like how you worded it Mike.

PS:? Had the pleasure of riding back in to Salem on the Monster Cookie with Sam who is now a teenager and STILL riding.

Way to go.?

I would like to propose the following rule change.

?

Youth is defined as riders under the age of 10.?? Youth riders may enter only youth races and may not be mixed with other categories except as stokers on tandems at the discretion of the race promoter.? Youth only races can only must be held on closed courses.
