I saw that dude go around the wood chip pile as I was 2-3 bikes back from
him- but he was still on the the left side of the red cones, on course. He
just decided not to take the popular route.

If only there was some way to track down the people who do such awful
things. If only they could wear easily identifiable spandex outfits or
perhaps go around the same loop over and over for a set amount of time; so
that we could at then some point approach them in person and clarify what
their intentions were or perhaps vent our frustrations. If only we could see
them next weekend, or possibly even next Wednesday. If only there was a page
of results posted somewhere on the internet that provided us with the
persons full name, so that we could then locate them on a variety of social
networking websites and confront them with their wrong doings directly. If
only there were an absurd amount of facebook photo albums, flickr photo
albums, and independent websites where we could identify who these people
are with the intention of later addressing them in person after determining
exactly who they were.
If only such conveniences existed, then we wouldn't have to send out passive
aggressive emails whining about our feelings of injustice to the public. But
alas, this is impossible and we must depend on a long drawn out debate on
the internet at the expense of hundreds of people's email accounts being
flooded with our drama for 3 to 4 work days, depending on how busy the
office is.

Really?! You are cutting the course in an OBRA race you have no chance of winning? I hope you see a pathetic cheater for the next week in the mirror, and I hope you just stay on the course to pass next week like everyone else.
