sometimes, yes. and that's kind of my point. some events offer a dedicated ss category because it's not a fair fight otherwise. if there is no dedicated ss category, and a Cat 1-3 racer has to compete in his/her appropriate class with geared riders, then "competing against themselves" is a good way of putting it. and to some extent, that what most folks are doing out there anyway. i love it when i see an ss'er working like mad, even when he/she is getting lapped - it rocks. and I let him or her know that it rocks when i get the chance. i'm simply saying that for any given race, regardless of the course and course conditions - and to add some definition, let's say a UCI event - no rider, especially in the elite field, is going to choose a ss if he or she wants to be competitive. it's just too fast at that level. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
