For me, bike racing was not the thing in which to compete. I did my due diligence in my competitive discipline, I know the sacrifices, I can share and relate with others about the *depravities we have in common. Bike racers know nothing of the cycling I undertake nor are they prepared to follow me as I am not them.*
*Cycling had always been my refuge from the all-in necessity of competition as I had been trained for it. Then the sign-sprint toads started showing up on my mountain bike rides and I had to veer into more odd cycling pursuits than they were interested. Anyone who knows the rearrangement one's life must undertake in order to truly be competitive in their personal pursuit knows well enough that anything below that level is a joke and a situation begging for someone to get hurt. I just would like to ride my bike, be it my Rivendell or my Surly; font on the down tube **independent.* *Andy Cheatham* *Pittsburgh* On Tuesday, December 10, 2013 10:36:41 AM UTC-5, iamkeith wrote: > > Thought many of you fellow un-racers might appreciate this as much as I > do: > > http://surlybikes.com/blog/post/racing_sucks > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
