>>Hi All
>>
>>I didn't mean to upset people and we now know this
>>lady was new to promoting and posting on chat boards
>>and was just trying to help her town BUT I have been
>>trying to help her out since her 1st post and she has
>>gotten a fair amount of e-mails sent to her
>>personally(not posted to everyone) saying she can't
>>post non racing stuff, who cares?, too many post and
>>so on...it has been more then just a couple e-mails.
>>
>>I was just trying to point out that this page/chat is
>>more then racing I think, because you have to ride
>>your bike to get in shape to race. I put on a covered
>>bridge bike tour and some of you OBRA racers come
>>every year, so there is some cross over.

>>Take Care All
