California Bicycle Racing (CBR)

Masters got caught by the Cat. 4/5 group, so we'll change the start order and see if that helps. Two Pro/1/2/3 racers, who never complain and who are never complained about, voiced their concerns of an elite racer brake-checking near the final sprint. That is totally not cool and is a bigger safety violation than being than a run-of-the-mill idiot, as it goes to intent.

Also, Soon after I gave my speech about moron racers turning their heads side to sides and to not to that cuz their bike goes the same direction as their head, this one idiot (who shall remain nameless for now), did it right in front of me. We were going up that little rise with the headwind and he turned to look at a couple kids playing on the grass, and as usual-his bike went the same friggin' direction, which caused him to overlap Betsy's rear wheel, so the moron had to clip out of his pedal to keep it upright.

Now, I can do a whole lot more when I see something stupid as opposed to me not witnessing it. I will put this guy on probation for the next few races and if he so much as dreams of turning his head right or left, he'll sit it out for a month. A knucklehead Cat. 5 does it by accident cuz they don't know better, but a Cat. 2 knows better, so the hammer falls harder on the moron.

I'm done with idiots making the race unsafe, so if one or two or ten need to have a time out, then so be it. I will do my very best to make it safer for the fifty or sixty that know how to not to race like idiots.

Other than that, the race went great! I thought I was gonna pop with four laps to go cuz I had nuthin, so I tried to recover until 1 lap to go, and then I still had nuthin!
