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.*
