Dan,
I agree with you.
I have to somewhat "assume" they know what is best for all of us regarding
cycling. I do question that expenditure. There are probably some who were
happy to receive them. I wonder what the cost was to print and send those
certificates out and just how much that could have aided either the riders
going to Worlds or even some of the development camps etc. Overall I still
believe cycling is a sport that requires most participants be middle to
upper economic class and thus exempts many gifted riders. I know if someone
wants to race enough, they can make it happen, but.... when they are not
even in a place to even have cycling on their radar.... how do they ever get
a chance. If however some of these riders (who struggle economically) have
made it into a circle of support and onto a team, it seems the proper thing
for USAC to offer financial support to some extent.
not to worry here... i will keep sandbaggin' !
