Please forgive me, but I have no response whatsoever to this. Does it come with a decoder ring? -- George Schreck

It was pulled from me too. The OBRA (& LAMBRA) goings-on have been being directed to benefit the strong, the rich, and the few. Think about it. This pushes working folks away from the sport. I remember at last year's Giro de Rankin, at the last minute, the Official joined the Cat 3 field with the 1/2's, so the 1/2's could have a qualifying race. Well that helps the participating Division 3 pro team, who get paid for this, but it makes the race senseless for the struggling 3's, who pay most of their own way. It's the average riders, who keep the sport going, and helping them should take priority over the desires of the famous and vocal. ----- Original Message ----
reading rules is fun.
David is right obra changed the default master age to 40, but it is up to each promoter to decide. As for me, yes I am 36, so I had one nice year as a master 35, and then it was gone, I had a taste of the forbidden fruit, taken away, alas. Mark Ginsberg David Hart wrote:
Just going to throw this totally self-interested bit out there... VERY few races last yr had a Masters 35 plus, with most going 40 plus
For ME at this point, the 35 plus races are FUN (although due to triathlon, I personally only do a few and mainly for training) and I can actually race as opposed to the Cat1/2 race which I just try to survive and I would assume there are others that feel the same way...the question is ARE THERE ENOUGH like minded 35-39s like me? Anyone? Thanks,
