OBRA,Masters,Tony,Candi,
Lets all give Mr. Kic some room here. His team has graciously offered to
put on a race for us bike racers.
Like he said they are "freshman" at putting on a race [ note: women 4-5
category. Women have no category 5]
As Candi pointed out, the fact that they advertised a "Masters" category
technically means 30+. However, in the state of Oregon, "Masters"
USUALLY means 35+. Most masters are aware of this. I think very few 30+
masters would enter the masters category anyways?
Soooo, just have one race, two categories like other promoters have
done. 35-44 and 45+.
I think this would please "almost"
everyone? Isn't that the goal?
Lets not discourage them from having a "sophomore" effort!!!
FYI: I have no personal interest in this matter, I will not be at the
race.

Tony, I think the only choice you have is to beg older Masters to
come to your event and then poll the riders that show up at the line
to find out if they will consent to split the field on the basis of
age. I think that would work, but the final say would rest with
OBRA... You've advertised a "masters" race, and I believe that means
all masters are eligible to ride. You can't subsequently limit the
field. The penalty, of course, is that given your announcement, few
riders over 40 or 45 will bother to show up for the Masters race, and
the 30 year old riders will cannibalize your cat 1/2 and cat 3 fields.

so, many astute riders have noticed our indecision in the matter of
the cutoff age for our masters group. ideally, we would have enough
vehicles, voulenteers, and time to provide two seperate categories
for our more "experienced" bike racers. alas, only able to provide
for one group left us to define an age, and having no idea what to
do we sought concensus among people whe knew about this sort of
thing. logic being that if you were younger than __ age, you could
easily integrate into one of our other lovely categories. the age we
worked out is apparently not a good one, and we are certiantly open
to comments and suggestions. i know, it's kind of last minute, but
being our freshman effort we are very humble and willing to change
things. thanks for the patience and input- tony kic, gentle lover.
