Brian,

Sorry I offended you, which was never my intent. Again, I'm very sorry for that and please forgive me...my bad.

However, I've got a question based on your comments. What have you done to "serve to educate", and "maybe grow the sport a little and not alienate folks new to OBRA and racing"? I'm just asking, because maybe I should be doing as much as you to "not alienate folks new to OBRA and racing". Any pointers for me? Please let me know how I can help more, it means a lot to me.

Oh ya, let's see if "scathing sarcasm serves to educate" you.

Cheers! back at ya,

Garcia

BTY, maybe those of you in OBRA land can help me with what more I can do to help "maybe grow the sport a little and not alienate folks new to OBRA and racing", because I sure want to help.

If you're onto something new, you should contact some of the pro riders
and tell them "I'm a novice cat 5 at the P.I.R. Monday race and I have a
new cycling position you should try- in the drops with your arms locked
straight...."

Since when does scathing sarcasm serve to educate? If you're trying to help out novice racers, maybe grow the sport a little, and not alienate folks new to OBRA and racing, I think it would be best to maintain a gracious tone.

Otherwise, if you're aiming for entertainment, BikesnobNYC you are not.

Cheers!
