Cass, Bill
I usually don't get into this but,......................This is a rather
silly argument. Being in the younger age bracket, I have no problem with
someone from an older agegroup handing me my butt in a sling. If I am that
worried getting whooped I should train more. If someone older wants to race
in a younger, more competitive category....Have at it. If they win a
championship....More power to them. These are the silly rules that keep
groups from being more competitive and faster. If Chuck Jarabek or Hank
Pfiefle showed up and wanted to race against us again we could whine all the
way to second place. Someone who trains hard and wants to race hard
shouldn't be restricted by being too old to compete. I can think of a single
speed guru in Oregon that is still in the habit of taking on the Senior
II's. It is like telling a junior they cannot race with seniors because they
might beat them. Once you get beyond our Oregon shores riders like that need
that experience and competitive training. It is about raising the level of
competition not taking away a precious medal because someone older than you
is faster. Let them race.

I think they should be able to ride down, but not be eligible for medals.

I agree with Steve....
Wouldn't that be the same as a 30+ category?
