Nor Cal: A bunch of cry babies

Continuing the tradition of spawning a new thread from a comment on a previous thread - regarding the recent "CX Bikes Mandatory" babble, one of our pals from up North says:

...you use a mtn set up for cross and you get anonymous (no guts to write their name and back up their words) cross racers crying over a type of handle bar used! I race and support the Portland series and was just checking out this blog and it amazes me what a bunch of cry babies the NorCal bunch has. We welcome any type of bike and any type of racer to our events! And we cheer for them doing their thing! We dont whine over a type of handle bar used or a wheel size used! Now all of you go out and race and support the race scene! And cheer for others because life is too short to waste time worrying because someone is passing you on a different type of bike. Just have fun and get dirty!

Well, to be fair, that was like 2 cry-babies and 58 floggers, but who's counting? Anyhow, we cry-babies haven't even gotten started. I was just going to start my next thread: "Nor-Cal Races Are Too Darn Muddy" (I mean really, it rains like 0.05 inches between Sept and Dec here, how are we supposed to race in THAT?), but now I'm all worried that some flannel-clad lumberjack is gonna flame me...

That cross crusade note is purely and simply a flame bait. Those guys talk more smack than anyone. For example every year they have a bragging rights competition between the Seattle crossers and the Portland guys, teh Grail o' Grunge. And let's not forget (lumping all NW'ers together) that Seattle is where the whole "separate but equal" mountain-cross race thing originated. Luddites!!

Dirt, mud, snow, duff, straight bar, drop bar, fern bar, (O.K. maybe not fern bars), but whatever, shut up and ride!

I can't wait to race at Hellyer!

And hope we do get some weather for GGP, it'll be awesome!

get off the computer and on your bike, and dont tell others to shut up. Your clearly are a faster typer then you are a faster racer.

You sound like a pilarcitos cheer leader.....RA RA RA~!

I WANT TO SEE YOU RACE IN A CHEER LEADER OUTFIT AT THE SURF CITY HALLOWEEEN RACE! And wear your thong you have hidden in your closet too! Or come up and do a Sacramento race!
