Please note that I mailed just over 2000 flyers yesterday morning with

the incorrect Masters distance on it. Sigh.

Hi all,



I got an email from the promoter asking me to fix the distance on the

June 12 race that includes the 50-59 and 60+ fields to be 50 miles.

Apparently, it was a typo.

Geez, I wasn't going to enter this discussion but at 31 miles I couldn't

resist. What's the point of even racing for 31 miles? Is that for old

guys that only train five hours a week? Old guys that are in danger of

cardiac arrest? Old guys with knee problems? I mean what's that going to

take, an hour 15? If a standard like that is set, I'm pretty sure you

would lose all of the stronger men in the 45+/50+ fields.

Additionally, that point of view is in stark contrast to Joe Friel's

"Cycling Past 50 (The Ageless Athlete)."

I would probably enter a jousting duel to fight against any attitudes

like that. Hogwash!

Personally I think 31 miles is plenty and the hill is too big. I

suspect that the "average" 50+ guy is closer to my point of view than it

is to the "longer and harder" point of view. I also think you guys

complain too much, especially about races that other people are putting

on for you. If you don't like what is being offered then don't go. Race

organizers will get the message.

I agree. I doubt that I will be willing to drive all the way to Madras

for a 31 mile race. I think the organizers have a misguided view of the

50 plus field. Maybe they should enter a road race with us and they can

see how easy it is to chase Dave Zimbleman around the course.

I think it's a great course, but with the distance what it is and I'm in

the 50+ group I'll probably get in the 3/4/5 or 40+ race. Maybe the

race organizer is trying to get some more folks to take part by

shortening the race to 31 miles, but I think it will have just the

opposite effect.

Everyone, men or women, go ride Gateway Grade at race pace once, twice,

then three times and then save enough for the last 3+ miles to the

finish, most likely into a good old central Oregon south wind right in

your face. I know I can't wait. Now that's Championship racing.

Speaking of race distances. I noticed that the Masters 50+ race is only

31 miles, while the 40+ race is 50 miles. I think I can probably

squeeze out the extra 19 miles without keeling over. Is it possible to

give us a race that is a bit longer. This is a ridiculous distance for

a championship race.   It is barely longer than the district time trial.

A championship race is supposed to be difficult, and this is far shorter

than any race I have done to date.

That is the difficulty. Getting people to keep showing up if they are

not in contention. I think the officials recent trend toward scoring

everyone will assist in that since now you will know where you placed.

It was frustrating for me to ride as hard as I could off the back and

then not get a placing.

I train about 200 miles per week. Back in the 1980's that was enough to

stay in a Senior 3 pack. After about 17 years away from the sport, I've

returned to find that it's filled with super-heroes - like the

Incredibles.



It would be good if more slow people entered races and finished them.

It is actually fun to sprint for 45th place, and fun is the first

priority in amateur bicycle racing.



Keep smiling!

Edward, quite a few of us "old guys" train 15-20 hours per week so some

get really strong and fast. I train around 18 right now but it doesn't

do me much good!

A struggle with sporting events is that folks either have to be

really good at them or they just drop out. There is seldom any middle

ground. For example, the 35+ Masters should be divided into two groups.

There should be more room in bicycle racing for those of us who are

closer to being "old guys that only train five hours a week, old guys

that are in danger of cardiac arrest, and old guys with knee problems."

The current performance of many riders is so fast, that is defies

belief, and raises ethical questions.



Thanks for listening.

Geez, I wasn't going to enter this discussion but at 31 miles I

couldn't resist. What's the point of even racing for 31 miles? Is that

for old guys that only train five hours a week? Old guys that are in

danger of cardiac arrest? Old guys with knee problems? I mean what's

that going to take, an hour 15? If a standard like that is set, I'm

pretty sure you would lose all of the stronger men in the 45+/50+

fields.

Additionally, that point of view is in stark contrast to Joe

Friel's "Cycling Past 50 (The Ageless Athlete)."

I would probably enter a jousting duel to fight against any

attitudes like that. Hogwash!

Personally I think 31 miles is plenty and the hill is

too big. I suspect that the "average" 50+ guy is closer to my point of

view than it is to the "longer and harder" point of view. I also think

you guys complain too much, especially about races that other people are

putting on for you. If you don't like what is being offered then don't

go. Race organizers will get the message.

I agree. I doubt that I will be willing to drive

all the way to Madras for a 31 mile race. I think the organizers have a

misguided view of the 50 plus field. Maybe they should enter a road

race with us and they can see how easy it is to chase Dave Zimbleman

around the course.

I think it's a great course, but with the

distance what it is and I'm in the 50+ group I'll probably get in the

3/4/5 or 40+ race. Maybe the race organizer is trying to get some more

folks to take part by shortening the race to 31 miles, but I think it

will have just the opposite effect.

Everyone, men or women, go ride Gateway

Grade at race pace once, twice, then three times and then save enough

for the last 3+ miles to the finish, most likely into a good old central

Oregon south wind right in your face. I know I can't wait. Now that's

Championship racing.

Speaking of race distances. I noticed

that the Masters 50+ race is only 31 miles, while the 40+ race is 50

miles. I think I can probably squeeze out the extra 19 miles without

keeling over. Is it possible to give us a race that is a bit longer.

This is a ridiculous distance for a championship race.   It is barely

longer than the district time trial. A championship race is supposed to

be difficult, and this is far shorter than any race I have done to date.

I train about 200 miles per week. Back in the 1980's that was enough to stay in a Senior 3 pack. After about 17 years away from the sport, I've returned to find that it's filled with super-heroes - like the Incredibles.



It would be good if more slow people entered races and finished them. It is actually fun to sprint for 45th place, and fun is the first priority in amateur bicycle racing.



Keep smiling!

Edward, quite a few of us "old guys" train 15-20 hours per week so some get really strong and fast. I train around 18 right now but it doesn't do me much good!

A struggle with sporting events is that folks either have to be really good at them or they just drop out. There is seldom any middle ground. For example, the 35+ Masters should be divided into two groups. There should be more room in bicycle racing for those of us who are closer to being "old guys that only train five hours a week, old guys that are in danger of cardiac arrest, and old guys with knee problems." The current performance of many riders is so fast, that is defies belief, and raises ethical questions.



Thanks for listening.

Geez, I wasn't going to enter this discussion but at 31 miles I couldn't resist. What's the point of even racing for 31 miles? Is that for old guys that only train five hours a week? Old guys that are in danger of cardiac arrest? Old guys with knee problems? I mean what's that going to take, an hour 15? If a standard like that is set, I'm pretty sure you would lose all of the stronger men in the 45+/50+ fields.

Additionally, that point of view is in stark contrast to Joe Friel's "Cycling Past 50 (The Ageless Athlete)."

I would probably enter a jousting duel to fight against any attitudes like that. Hogwash!

Personally I think 31 miles is plenty and the hill is too big. I suspect that the "average" 50+ guy is closer to my point of view than it is to the "longer and harder" point of view. I also think you guys complain too much, especially about races that other people are putting on for you. If you don't like what is being offered then don't go. Race organizers will get the message.

I agree. I doubt that I will be willing to drive all the way to Madras for a 31 mile race. I think the organizers have a misguided view of the 50 plus field. Maybe they should enter a road race with us and they can see how easy it is to chase Dave Zimbleman around the course.

I think it's a great course, but with the distance what it is and I'm in the 50+ group I'll probably get in the 3/4/5 or 40+ race. Maybe the race organizer is trying to get some more folks to take part by shortening the race to 31 miles, but I think it will have just the opposite effect.

Everyone, men or women, go ride Gateway Grade at race pace once, twice, then three times and then save enough for the last 3+ miles to the finish, most likely into a good old central Oregon south wind right in your face. I know I can't wait. Now that's Championship racing.

Speaking of race distances. I noticed that the Masters 50+ race is only 31 miles, while the 40+ race is 50 miles. I think I can probably squeeze out the extra 19 miles without keeling over. Is it possible to give us a race that is a bit longer. This is a ridiculous distance for a championship race.   It is barely longer than the district time trial. A championship race is supposed to be difficult, and this is far shorter than any race I have done to date.

Ed-

Just another take on this from a 48 year old, perpetual cat 4 guy with

three young girls, a wonderful wife, two mortgages and a design career.

I seldom get in 100 miles per week, more like 50 if I am lucky. My

chances of finishing at the top, well... something about a snowball and

hell. Will I stop racing bikes? Probably. But as for now, every once in

a while I enter one (when I forget the pain?). I do this because it is

fun, it is exciting being in a competitive peleton, I like the sound of

all those wheels rolling. I take my turn at the front when the heat is

on, and sometimes I bridge a gap, and sometimes (though rarely) I go

with a break. Mostly these days I just try to stay attached to the

But you know what? there are a few of us back there and that is OK. In

every contest there are people who don't win, that is why it is a

contest. There are plenty of century rides and the like that are not

races. They can be fun too, but it isn't the same thing. So take heart,

you can race me for 35th place!

Just another take on this from a 48 year old, perpetual cat 4 =

guy

with three young girls, a wonderful wife, two mortgages and a design

career. I seldom get in 100 miles per week, more like 50 if I am

lucky. My chances of finishing at the top, well... something about a

snowball and hell. Will I stop racing bikes? Probably. But as for now,

every once in a while I enter one (when I forget the pain?). I do this

because it is fun, it is exciting being in a competitive peleton, I

like the sound of all those wheels rolling. I take my turn at the

front when the heat is on, and sometimes I bridge a gap, and sometimes

(though rarely) I go with a break. Mostly these days I just try to

stay attached to the group. It is still fun to try to do my "fat old

man" best.

the promoter before complaining to the list????

Hi all,



I got an email from the promoter asking me to fix the distance on the June

12 race that includes the 50-59 and 60+ fields to be 50 miles. Apparently,

it was a typo.

Geez, I wasn't going to enter this discussion but at 31 miles I couldn't

resist. What's the point of even racing for 31 miles? Is that for old guys

that only train five hours a week? Old guys that are in danger of cardiac

arrest? Old guys with knee problems? I mean what's that going to take, an

hour 15? If a standard like that is set, I'm pretty sure you would lose all

of the stronger men in the 45+/50+ fields.

Additionally, that point of view is in stark contrast to Joe Friel's

"Cycling Past 50 (The Ageless Athlete)."

I would probably enter a jousting duel to fight against any attitudes like

that. Hogwash!

Personally I think 31 miles is plenty and the hill is too big. I suspect

that the "average" 50+ guy is closer to my point of view than it is to the

"longer and harder" point of view. I also think you guys complain too much,

especially about races that other people are putting on for you. If you

don't like what is being offered then don't go. Race organizers will get

the message.

I agree. I doubt that I will be willing to drive all the way to Madras for a

31 mile race. I think the organizers have a misguided view of the 50 plus

field. Maybe they should enter a road race with us and they can see how

easy it is to chase Dave Zimbleman around the course.

I think it's a great course, but with the distance what it is and I'm in the

50+ group I'll probably get in the 3/4/5 or 40+ race. Maybe the race

organizer is trying to get some more folks to take part by shortening the

race to 31 miles, but I think it will have just the opposite effect.

Everyone, men or women, go ride Gateway Grade at race pace once, twice, then

three times and then save enough for the last 3+ miles to the finish, most

likely into a good old central Oregon south wind right in your face. I know

I can't wait. Now that's Championship racing.

Speaking of race distances. I noticed that the Masters 50+ race is only 31

miles, while the 40+ race is 50 miles. I think I can probably squeeze out

the extra 19 miles without keeling over. Is it possible to give us a race

that is a bit longer. This is a ridiculous distance for a championship

race.   It is barely longer than the district time trial. A championship

race is supposed to be difficult, and this is far shorter than any race I

have done to date.

A struggle with sporting events is that folks either have to be really good at them or they just drop out. There is seldom any middle ground. For example, the 35+ Masters should be divided into two groups. There should be more room in bicycle racing for those of us who are closer to being "old guys that only train five hours a week, old guys that are in danger of cardiac arrest, and old guys with knee problems." The current performance of many riders is so fast, that is defies belief, and raises ethical questions.



Thanks for listening.

Geez, I wasn't going to enter this discussion but at 31 miles I couldn't resist. What's the point of even racing for 31 miles? Is that for old guys that only train five hours a week? Old guys that are in danger of cardiac arrest? Old guys with knee problems? I mean what's that going to take, an hour 15? If a standard like that is set, I'm pretty sure you would lose all of the stronger men in the 45+/50+ fields.

Additionally, that point of view is in stark contrast to Joe Friel's "Cycling Past 50 (The Ageless Athlete)."

I would probably enter a jousting duel to fight against any attitudes like that. Hogwash!

I agree. I doubt that I will be willing to drive all the way to Madras for a 31 mile race. I think the organizers have a misguided view of the 50 plus field. Maybe they should enter a road race with us and they can see how easy it is to chase Dave Zimbleman around the course.

I think it's a great course, but with the distance what it is and I'm in the 50+ group I'll probably get in the 3/4/5 or 40+ race. Maybe the race organizer is trying to get some more folks to take part by shortening the race to 31 miles, but I think it will have just the opposite effect.

Everyone, men or women, go ride Gateway Grade at race pace once, twice, then three times and then save enough for the last 3+ miles to the finish, most likely into a good old central Oregon south wind right in your face. I know I can't wait. Now that's Championship racing.

Speaking of race distances. I noticed that the Masters 50+ race is only 31 miles, while the 40+ race is 50 miles. I think I can probably squeeze out the extra 19 miles without keeling over. Is it possible to give us a race that is a bit longer. This is a ridiculous distance for a championship race.   It is barely longer than the district time trial. A championship race is supposed to be difficult, and this is far shorter than any race I have done to date.

Does he mean ride faster, or is there a problem with a later race. With

a 9:20 start, we should easily be done before the second group of races.

race pace once, twice, then three times and then save enough for the

last 3+ miles to the finish, most likely into a good old central Oregon

south wind right in your face. I know I can't wait. Now that's

Championship racing.

Road Race







Speaking of race distances. I noticed

that the Masters 50+ race is only 31 miles, while the 40+ race is 50

miles. I think I can probably squeeze out the extra 19 miles without

keeling over. Is it possible to give us a race that is a bit longer.

This is a ridiculous distance for a championship race.   It is barely

longer than the district time trial. A championship race is supposed to

be difficult, and this is far shorter than any race I have done to date.

MessageAaaah. This, for those of you unfamiliar with Dr. Murray's famous sayings, is also known as "Rule #21." And, if I were to race the 50+ State RR this year and find Mike and I at the end, able to contest the sprint, then we will know for sure that the race was too short.

Mike, it is the State Championship Race. It is supposed to be hard, and

many of us who race and train hard would like a good race which requires

such effort. Many of us have not given up on road racing, we attend the

hard road races all year in longer distances, and would like our

championship to reflect that type of effort. I do not think the

championship road race is supposed to be for people who generally do not

enter the road races. I think the woman's 1,2,3 race probably is too

short as well given the strength of the women in the field for a

Championship.



As far as boycotting, it is the Championship, which does not lend itself

to a boycott.

Geez, I wasn't going to enter this discussion but at 31 miles I couldn't

resist. What's the point of even racing for 31 miles? Is that for old

guys that only train five hours a week? Old guys that are in danger of

cardiac arrest? Old guys with knee problems? I mean what's that going to

take, an hour 15? If a standard like that is set, I'm pretty sure you

would lose all of the stronger men in the 45+/50+ fields.

Additionally, that point of view is in stark contrast to Joe Friel's

"Cycling Past 50 (The Ageless Athlete)."

I would probably enter a jousting duel to fight against any attitudes

like that. Hogwash!

Personally I think 31 miles is plenty and the hill is too big.

I suspect that the "average" 50+ guy is closer to my point of view than

it is to the "longer and harder" point of view. I also think you guys

complain too much, especially about races that other people are putting

on for you. If you don't like what is being offered then don't go. Race

organizers will get the message.

I agree. I doubt that I will be willing to drive all the

way to Madras for a 31 mile race. I think the organizers have a

misguided view of the 50 plus field. Maybe they should enter a road

race with us and they can see how easy it is to chase Dave Zimbleman

around the course.

I think it's a great course, but with the distance what

it is and I'm in the 50+ group I'll probably get in the 3/4/5 or 40+

race. Maybe the race organizer is trying to get some more folks to take

part by shortening the race to 31 miles, but I think it will have just

the opposite effect.

Everyone, men or women, go ride Gateway Grade at

race pace once, twice, then three times and then save enough for the

last 3+ miles to the finish, most likely into a good old central Oregon

south wind right in your face. I know I can't wait. Now that's

Championship racing.

Speaking of race distances. I noticed

that the Masters 50+ race is only 31 miles, while the 40+ race is 50

miles. I think I can probably squeeze out the extra 19 miles without

keeling over. Is it possible to give us a race that is a bit longer.

This is a ridiculous distance for a championship race.   It is barely

longer than the district time trial. A championship race is supposed to

be difficult, and this is far shorter than any race I have done to date.

color=#0000ff size=2>Mike, it is the State Championship Race.  It is

supposed to be hard, and many of us who race and train hard would like a

good race which requires such effort. Many of us have not given up on road

racing, we attend the hard road races all year in longer distances,

and would like our championship to reflect that type of effort.  I do

not think the championship road race is supposed to be for people who

generally do not enter the road races.  I think the woman's 1,2,3

race probably is too short as well given the strength of the women in the

field for a Championship.  </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Hi all,



I got an email from the promoter asking me to fix the distance on the

June 12 race that includes the 50-59 and 60+ fields to be 50 miles.

Apparently, it was a typo.

Geez, I wasn't going to enter this discussion but at 31 miles I

couldn't resist. What's the point of even racing for 31 miles? Is that

for old guys that only train five hours a week? Old guys?that are in

danger of cardiac arrest? Old guys with knee problems??I mean what's

that going to take, an hour 15? If a standard like that is set, I'm

pretty sure you would lose all of the stronger men in the 45+/50+

fields.

Additionally, that point of view is in stark contrast to Joe Friel's

"Cycling Past 50 (The Ageless Athlete)."

I would probably enter a jousting duel to fight against any attitudes

like that. Hogwash!

Personally I think 31 miles is plenty and the hill is too big.? I

suspect that the "average" 50+ guy is closer to my point of view than

it is to the "longer and harder" point of view.? I also think you guys

complain too much, especially about races that other people are

putting on for you. If you don't like what is being offered then don't

go.? Race organizers will get the message.

And so was born the "OBRA Bike Jousts". The final solution to OBRA post disputes.

Geez, I wasn't going to enter this discussion but at 31 miles I couldn't resist. What's the point of even racing for 31 miles? Is that for old guys that only train five hours a week? Old guys that are in danger of cardiac arrest? Old guys with knee problems? I mean what's that going to take, an hour 15? If a standard like that is set, I'm pretty sure you would lose all of the stronger men in the 45+/50+ fields.

Additionally, that point of view is in stark contrast to Joe Friel's "Cycling Past 50 (The Ageless Athlete)."

I would probably enter a jousting duel to fight against any attitudes like that. Hogwash!

Personally I think 31 miles is plenty and the hill is too big. I suspect that the "average" 50+ guy is closer to my point of view than it is to the "longer and harder" point of view. I also think you guys complain too much, especially about races that other people are putting on for you. If you don't like what is being offered then don't go. Race organizers will get the message.

I agree. I doubt that I will be willing to drive all the way to Madras for a 31 mile race. I think the organizers have a misguided view of the 50 plus field. Maybe they should enter a road race with us and they can see how easy it is to chase Dave Zimbleman around the course.

I think it's a great course, but with the distance what it is and I'm in the 50+ group I'll probably get in the 3/4/5 or 40+ race. Maybe the race organizer is trying to get some more folks to take part by shortening the race to 31 miles, but I think it will have just the opposite effect.

Everyone, men or women, go ride Gateway Grade at race pace once, twice, then three times and then save enough for the last 3+ miles to the finish, most likely into a good old central Oregon south wind right in your face. I know I can't wait. Now that's Championship racing.

Speaking of race distances. I noticed that the Masters 50+ race is only 31 miles, while the 40+ race is 50 miles. I think I can probably squeeze out the extra 19 miles without keeling over. Is it possible to give us a race that is a bit longer. This is a ridiculous distance for a championship race.   It is barely longer than the district time trial. A championship race is supposed to be difficult, and this is far shorter than any race I have done to date.

I think Clark's point is that the suggestions for change should be directed

to the race organizer rather than broadcasted to the membership list. If

you are trying to campaign for more support posting a message to the list

asking for people who are interested in a longer distance to contact the

race organizer would also be a good idea. Simply complaining to the list is

likely to be seen as simply whingeing, may not reach the race organizer and

is not likely to produce the desired result.

The only way to reach the old farts is to post these to the group. Do you

think we have some internal e-mail list of everyone over 50?



Also, I see some reverse discrimination. I did not see anyone getting upset

when the women complained about how short their races are. Why are not men

over 50 allowed to make a similar complaint?



I do not think we are asking for much. Just an extra lap. It will not

upset the world balance.



For that matter, add an extra lap for the 1,2 3 senior women. Now does that

    I think it's a great course, but with the distance what it is and I'm in the 50+ group I'll probably get in the 3/4/5 or 40+ race. Maybe the race organizer is trying to get some more folks to take part by shortening the race to 31 miles, but I think it will have just the opposite effect.

      Everyone, men or women, go ride Gateway Grade at race pace once, twice, then three times and then save enough for the last 3+ miles to the finish, most likely into a good old central Oregon south wind right in your face. I know I can't wait. Now that's Championship racing.

        Speaking of race distances. I noticed that the Masters 50+ race is only 31 miles, while the 40+ race is 50 miles. I think I can probably squeeze out the extra 19 miles without keeling over. Is it possible to give us a race that is a bit longer. This is a ridiculous distance for a championship race.   It is barely longer than the district time trial. A championship race is supposed to be difficult, and this is far shorter than any race I have done to date.

I agree. I doubt that I will be willing to drive all the way to Madras for a 31 mile race. I think the organizers have a misguided view of the 50 plus field. Maybe they should enter a road race with us and they can see how easy it is to chase Dave Zimbleman around the course.

the 50+ group I'll probably get in the 3/4/5 or 40+ race. Maybe the

race organizer is trying to get some more folks to take part by

shortening the race to 31 miles, but I think it will have just the

opposite effect.

Everyone, men or women, go ride Gateway Grade at race pace once,

twice, then three times and then save enough for the last 3+ miles to

the finish, most likely into a good old central Oregon south wind right

in your face. I know I can't wait. Now that's Championship racing.

Speaking of race distances. I noticed that the Masters

50+ race is only 31 miles, while the 40+ race is 50 miles. I think I

can probably squeeze out the extra 19 miles without keeling over. Is it

possible to give us a race that is a bit longer. This is a ridiculous

distance for a championship race.   It is barely longer than the

district time trial. A championship race is supposed to be difficult,

and this is far shorter than any race I have done to date.

Everyone, men or women, go ride Gateway Grade at race pace once, twice, then three times and then save enough for the last 3+ miles to the finish, most likely into a good old central Oregon south wind right in your face. I know I can't wait. Now that's Championship racing.

Speaking of race distances. I noticed that the Masters 50+ race is only 31 miles, while the 40+ race is 50 miles. I think I can probably squeeze out the extra 19 miles without keeling over. Is it possible to give us a race that is a bit longer. This is a ridiculous distance for a championship race.   It is barely longer than the district time trial. A championship race is supposed to be difficult, and this is far shorter than any race I have done to date.
