Candi Murray/Oregon Bicycle Racing Assn

Well yeah if you read it literally. But the governing body (you know the

evil empire) has in the past let older masters ride down an age group. The

interpretation was that they had been that age and now were at a deficit

since they were older. We let some of the older guys ride down last year at

the state road race and had some complaints, so we are trying to get the

feel from the other riders and make the rule clearer.

Is that any help?

Since the masters categories are defined by age,

that suggested rule change makes little sense to me...





 Currently we have one suggested rule change to make if consistent for

masters to ride down an age group at the championships. So a 40-49 man

could ride in the 30-39 championships and place.
