Hi Ian, Very well put and to the point. Now that the air is clear again from whinning Hows it going? Not to old yet Peter. From: Ian & Ann Fuller <damp-@pond.net> Reply-To: damp-@pond.net To: ob-@topica.com Subject: In defense of.... Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2000 20:06:11 -0800 It is sad. The non-promoters complaining about the folks that help make things happen. In my 45 years in bike racing I am still surprised to hear the strident complaints of people like the Martins. Such whining almost always comes from people that are NOT making things happen for the larger community. Usually from little people that cannot see beyond their ego enlarged noses. Me, me, me. They rarely are the givers -- just takers. And talkers. Let's hear about the Martins promoting a junior race series in which they can make oodles of money (as they suggest is there for the taking) and their son can be a star and win all the races or, perhaps, be just another rider competing and having fun. If they really want to help their son then perhaps setting a good example of hard work, helping others, not complaining but pitching in to solve problems and THANKING those that are doing the lion's share of the work might be a good start. Quit being an embarrasment to your son and everyone else. I feel sorry for him. I have only the highest admiration and give thanks for people like the Murrays. Oregon cycling would be the great looser were they not here. Mike and Candi, it's a shame you are subjected to this kind of piss ant, small minded stuff. Sincerely, Ian Fuller (really old bike rider) PS. When I was 15 there were no junior races -- just senior men. I still had fun and had some pretty good races. When I was 16 I rode the state road championship (in Calif) and was at the starting line with Jack Disney, then National Champion!
