Adams, Mike
The same day works for me and rename it Survival of the Fittest Old Farts Road race.

I will do those distances only if we can race them back to back.
It was a great road race last year in ideal conditions. We just need
more participants. See you there.

Ah, a perfect segue (segway, segweh?) to let you all know the weather in
Bend is un-freakin' believable in August and that you are all cordially
invited to participate, if you're not too burnt out from racing since
February, in the High Desert Race Weekend, August 27th and 28th. The RR
is part of the Oregon Cup series and the crit will be around and around
until your head spins. I may even try to get it downtown on the Cascade
crit course, heck, I don't know. It's April.
Bring your pee bottles and leave your sea-level air at home. Oh, and
it's a 175 mile RR and a 120 minute crit for 50+. You're welcome George.

 Murray is 1000% correct-stop your whining. Complaining to the entire
 OBRA land is
useless. All it does is create too many e-mails that most of us don't
 read
and just delete!
If you want to pick on a general topic:
How about the fact that at every race I have gone to in the spring
this
 year
people complain (too many to count) that our season starts WAY TOO
EARLY
(2nd weekend in Feb). We race every weekend suffering in the cold
and
 rain.
Then mid April comes around, the sun and warmer weather are here and
there is
no road racing in Oregon for over 1 month, just TT's. Along with the
fact that
the road race and crit schedule is thin through July, August and
September -
the best times of the year to ride and race your bicycle in the
pacific
Â
northwest. Think about how much bigger the fields would be if
everyone
 wasn't
burnt out on racing in june, because they went right from cross
season
 to the
road season. This also helps the people coming from bend and southern
 oregon
where they can't ride outside in the winter because of the weather.
I heard this when I moved here 2 years ago and again last year. But
no
 one
wants to do anything about it. Just complain on the porta-potti line
 and
whine over the stupidest things on this topica list.
This is a group discussion topic, not "is it true that "new" air is
faster
than "old" air and you will be quicker and lighter by totally letting
 all the
air out of your tires on race day and then refillng them ?
People, listen to Mike.
