Death of the Forum

It looks like Teton has had enough. Just speculating here but with all the whiny, overly sensitive butt munches out there complaining about the content, I don't blame him for shutting it down. I have very little patience for the overly sensitive. Harden the fuck up!

This year has been weird when it comes to the Colorado cycling public. First the conspiracy theories regarding Beth which basically started and ended with the forum. Then the little whiny pussies turned on those who they deemed inappropriate posters and bitched nonstop to get the anonymous forum monitored. God forbid they would start their own. It's like someone pleading with the government to ban porn sites and then buying a Hustler at the gas station.

I have always been under the general impression that a lot of bike racers are whiners especially in the development categories. You win a 3s or 4s race and you better upgrade or you are a sandbagger. You sprint for a win and they blame you for sitting in and poaching the finish. It is kind of funny because every crit is basically a microcosm of a lifespan. There are those who get it and those who don't. There are winners and there is pack fill in every category. There are those who push themselves to move to the next level and those who stay in fear of having to change their training in order to compete at a new level.

So if you plan on winning a bike race, remember this: there at least 50 losers in any given crit. Don't let them convince you to join them. Keep every race in perspective no matter how you place. There is no coulda, woulda, shoulda and there are no good excuses.
