I think you could include nearly all of RBR on that one, for
the most obvious reasons.

Good for you, that's a good reason you are knowledgeable about
the sport of RBR. We have a lot in common, read on. It's just
that you are posting with an anonymous handle and don't always get
respect when you first start posting in that manner.

I was a gold junkie in the '80s. In fact I have golfed since I was 7
years old (Studebaker Public Golf Course, South Bend, Indiana).
I always sucked at golf. You cannot get fit at golf. It's great
for drinking beer and swatting at the ball. Birdies for me were
extremely rare. I went from gold to tennis.

I took part in the Little 500 bike race at Indiana U. before
I started distance running -- then the pounding of the running on my
knees and ankles got to me and pushed me into competitive
amateur cycling c. 1994-95. Now all I do, when I do race, are the
Masters 1/2/3 events.

100% agree.

Probably true/never thought about it that way.

Ride on, ken.
