Leave it at the door......

We had our twice-per-month practice criterium tonight out at the Chico Airport. We like to do these things to get some Crit practice in, do a little speedwork, get the feel for the cornering in a paceline/pack and most of all.....just to have fun.

But, as in all "racing" and life in general, some riders have to show up with an attitude. Nope, they can't leave it at the door.......they've got to bring their grumpiness and snobiness with 'em. Geesh.....gimme a break. These fine folks are just out here to practice a bit and have a good time. Leave your attitude at the office. Yes, there are gonna be beginners out there - so, if you don't like ridin' with them, move up a category! I'd be surprised if that rider you chastised tonight will be back again........and thanks a lot for that.......you're doing just great things for local cycling(and cycling in general) by pulling that attitude card. Congratulations - brilliant job!

Next time, shut up or stay home.

Okay, enough with the Tuesday night rant.
