I have not been following (been deleting) except this post. Not knowing all that has been posted it sounds like some conflict about juniors getting to race. I would hope that common sense would enlighten OBRA members to realize that giving kids as many chances to race as possible will keep OBRA strong. I may be having a second childhood at 59, but the chances of me being around as an OBRA member in 20 years are not as high as racer of 12. If there is some sort of conflict, get it figured out and "Let 'em race"!

I rode a tandem on CycleOregon with my son Mikkel from the time he was 5 years old. He would have loved to have done some tandem races when he was young. He also captained the tandem at 10 years old with my 5 year old niece.

I think it is a great way to introduce kids to riding safely and would be a fun way for them to race.

The great thing about OBRA is we can make this kind of racing happen.
