And people wonder why bicycle racing remains such a minor league sport in this country. It certainly can't be the warm and loving reception we give new racers or the way we help new racers out with their questions and concerns. On the other hand, that racing is a minor sport certainly can't be because of rbr, either. |

Perhaps the attitude and maturity displayed here is indicative of the whole population of bike racers, although the scale here is swayed towards immature people who are also not bike racers who like to snipe at people who are nearer the other end of that scale. -WG |

"Boyd Speerschneider" wrote in message ... Question #1: Is there any reason that someone would want to downgrade to a Cat V? Ewoud's answer: To win. If someone has their ass handed to them by the Cat. 4s for years, but can kick ass and take names in the Cat. 5 races, they will probably consider downgrading. Especially as they enter their suburban, wife/kids, house/dog, master fattydom stage. Am I moving to fast for you? Jesus, if someone has their ass handed to them by the Cat.4s for years, they should just consider quitting. |

Or, maybe bicycle racing draws self-assured, aggressive, immature (as in young thinking) individuals? Dashii |

Collegiate teams bring in more new racers than any USCF team. This isn't the real world though. This is rbr. If someone can't take a little ribbing here, there's little chance they have the will to handle the vagaries of pack riding. |

Newbie USCF question
"B. Lafferty" wrote in message Back in the early 1980s, IIRC, the USCF had a consulting firm do a psychological profile of the riders it licensed. The result were less than flattering. The better the racer, the poorer the racer's social skills. Perhaps Casey or Les can dig up the report and post it for all to chuckle over. Maybe, but people like Nelson Vails did a lot of goodwill for the sport. |

Newbie USCF question
Neither of the below - just someone who gets sick of people in
newsgroups giving others crap because they know there won't be any consequences. You will notice that I only flame those who flame me. I asked my original question with manners, but will not roll over for those who have none. You and the other trolls trying to get under everyone's skin seem to have some sort of inferiority complex that can only be remedied by acting like grade-schoolers. I think it's funny. Sad for you, but funny to me. Trip On Sun, 14 Sep 2003 15:11:32 GMT, "Glenn Butzlaff" wrote: " demeaning nicks is simply precious.

"Trip" wrote in message ... Ken (your real name) Keep you moronic comments to yourself. This is not your personal newsgroup, no matter how much you think it is (my real feelings). Trip (my real sig) Oh, and the 3rd grade practice by some in this newsgroup of assigning demeaning nicks is simply precious. It's sweet that you have an outlet for your bravado, because I guarantee that you wouldn't have the stones to say any of this to my face. Sure I would. I guarantee you Dave |
