Yeah, and I try and watch out for non-race people on tabor. Since
fixed gears are first we seem to unofficially have the role of
letting folks know racers are starting to come through on the course.
The guy coming down the hill I recognized as a racer in the lower
road categories. I dont want to be a tattle-tale, cause I want lots
of people to keep racing. I know I have made some air headed
mistakes in my time, I just hope he knows what he did, feels at least
kind of bad and doesnt do it ever again.
