aiight aiight aiight!! how many you dudes think ya could beat me in a race? huh?
"Paladin" wrote in message ups.com... My opinion on separate classes for SS in mtb races is that for the most part, SS'ers are more relaxed and have more fun at races. Of course there are the hotdogs at the top of the pile who feel they have to act like they're serious roadies, but hey. Yep, that was my experience back when I raced. In the beginning there were alot of SSers, then they mostly disappeared for many years. I remember back in 1988 up at a race in Black Diamond Mines Regional Park when not one, but two, SSers gave me pushes, not once each, but twice each while I was riding past them on steeper climbs. They were nuts on the descents so we were going back and forth. I think one of them was even riding drop bars. I can't imagine a fellow competitor giving me a push these days, SS or not. Greg |

I still happens around my neck of the woods[1]. I've had pushes from friends/strangers/direct competitors either as an apology for slowing me up on a pinch or as encouragement when I'm suffering up a climb. All in all the lcoal racing community here is a great bunch of people. We've had events with categories/sub categories for SS but most SS riders I know are more happy competing without any special treatment. Most people seriously overestimate the disadvantage of an SS.

Yeah, from looking at pictures of your races I got the feeling that camaraderie is still there. That's definitely cool.
