Rent a Racer Program is program GO!

Thanks to those helping me out I get to race the next two weekends. Sorry Jason. I would have considered Bribes not to race. Vet Cross this Sunday. This is one of my favorite races. I was bummed last year that Roger had to cancel it. With all he does to help out cycling I like to go support his race. Even if he is biased toward the 360 guys. Plus its a cool course, Roger is a vet, & its a race about vets. My father-in-law is a vet so lots of reasons for me to put this on the must do list every year. Two years ago I won this race, but after a week off not sure how my legs will respond this weekend. Does look like we'll have good cross weather, cool & sunny.



Spend your Friday following this debate. I have a feeling its going to get interesting.

  1. Since the rent-a-racer program is working, I'd like to join the program and enjoy the benefits. It's the least you can do since you are sandbagging.

  2. SANDBAGGING DENOTES RACING BELOW ONES CATEGORY. I'M 37 SO WELL ABOVE THE PRESCRIBED 35. NO CATEGORIES IN THE OPEN MASTER'S. IF I WAS STILL RACING 3'S I'D SAY I WAS SANDBAGGING. I LIKE TO CALL RACING MASTER'S CHERRY PICKING. BESIDES IF EVERYONE WHO WAS CHERRY PICKING MASTER'S RACED THE 1/2/3'S THE MASTER'S FIELD WOULD HAVE 5 GUYS. I'LL MAKE YOU A DEAL. IF I GET MORE SUBTLE MELON HEED I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU SINCE THAT STUFF TASTES LIKE SHIT.

  3. all caps = a nerve touched

    sandbagging connotes competing at a level below one's ABILITY, such that the likelihood of victory is greater than the possibility of defeat

    subtle melon heed? yuck. i'm just looking for entry into the wildly successful rent-a-racer program, that's all.

  4. All caps is from a program I have to use at work. It automatically turns on the all caps & I forgot to turn it off. No nerve touched. As for my ability? I'm stuck in the dreaded middle. Not good enough for 1/2 but good enough to be booted out of 3's. So until my idea of cat 2.5 is implemented by USAC I'm racing with all the other sandbagging master's. I like to race cx not time trial it. Besides think of it as improving your game. I stay status quo but you improve by racing faster guys. I think this is just another ploy by 360 to get me out of Master's so they can sweep all the master's spot.

    Wildly successful? I'd call it mildly so far, it has yet to catch on. When it does I might be willing to spread the wealth. Besides it has two intentions I get to race & if some how I cover my expenses & something is left over I can give back to the sport.

  6. I feel the anger boiling, watch out kids! I haven't raced angry yet this year. I'm not sure I remember how. The 360 boys have had me in perma grin mode with all the great racing this season.
