Obra has gone out and set up the spare wheel program for all of our races.

If you are one of the top 10 in the OBRA Team

Bar standings, odds have it you have already used some these wheels in

races. If you haven't, you probalby will. I am

donating $200 in behalf of the Fred Meyer Cycling Team to get this wheel

program paid for. I am challenging the other

top teams in OBRA to do the same thing. If all 10 teams step up and get

money to OBRA this should pay for more than

half of the program. Other individual riders can do their part to make up

the rest. Let's not leave the responsibility to OBRA

to collect the money for this program. Teams can find the money in their

budgets or pass the hat among their own riders.

OBRA has enough on their plate to have to go out and worry about getting

reimbursed for these wheels. If they end up with

more money than the program needs, then they have a rainy day fund for more

wheels,tires, etc. In addition, if you are

one of the teams riding 10 speed, then maybe you need to think about

donating 10 speed wheels to the program instead of

asking OBRA to put these wheels in too. I hope that all the teams will rise

up to this challenge and put this issue to rest

by donating your $200. Thanks for listening.
