  1. ok so I'm enjoying this googlegroup even though some of the things
    people say are confusing or wrong or even mean. first off, one of you
    is saying that if bike racers go only ONE MILE or a half a mile that
    men will still be faster than women. well thats just plain dumb, who
    races a bike for one mile? and then people are saying that those
    racers will go 50 miles an hour well obviously thats ridiculous too I
    ride everyday and I can go 15 and sometimes even 20 miles an hour but
    no one can go 50 miles on a bike. I was talking about women being as
    good as men at cycling, maybe even better espcially when you consider
    they have it harder to be pros. and why are all of you trying to
    convince me that someone who knows so much about womens sports (GBMT)
    is a man, that is ridiculous it is so obvious that she is a woman. it
    was very nice of her to give me those great links to information about
    women bike racers they were great even though one didnot work. thank
    you GBMT, what is your real name? are you a famous bike racer???
    also, why do you think the people here are so awful, you said such
    horrible things about them? maybe you could tell me which people here
    KNOW about biking and which people DONT (like people who think bike
    races are one mile long!)that would be helpful so i know who to look
    for

    LYNDA

    I'm sorry but the original troll was ever so much more well crafted.
    Do try harder, do.

    Gee, don't they teach you anything at the University of Wisconsin ?

    One doesn't need to know anything about anything to be an expert here.

    Well, it's not so much about who knows bike racing here for me, but who's
    civil. Quickly, the ones who are civil and you can always trust to give a
    civil and straight answer are Benjo Maso, Jeff Jones, Dan Connelly, the
    Bornfeld brothers, Illan, there are others off hand I can't recall, oh yes
    Carl Sundquist, he's usually very straight forward and honest. The rest of
    your questions I'll leave for them or someone similar, I am rushed out the
    door now!

    Not a famous bike racer at all. Claim to fame is climbing with cat-1 in the
    past, climbing was my passion. The most famous bike racer in here is Carl
    Sundquist, he won 4 national titles, much more.

    Holy [censored]--I've been short-listed! ;-)
    For the record, I have few answers. I didn't even complete my only
    season of racing, and that was 1986 (a face plant ended my season and
    racing career).
    Mark was actually a more talented rider, but never raced (he's also
    rarely if ever posted here). We were fans back then. We were single
    and had time to ourselves.
    I did get to watch the Worlds in '86 in Colorado Springs. Got to meet
    lots of my heros, and collect autographs like a kid. Of your list I did
    get to meet Carl one day at the track in the stands--a gentleman. Most
    of the pros were very polite and gracious.
    Speaking of women, they were all around. Mariane Berglund had only to
    see me with a camera in my hand for her to stick out her tongue and
    strike a sexy pose. I've got to look for that photo...

    That's pretty low. I heard about that episode, but thankfully never saw it.

    I'd rather talk about the movie "Breaking Away." Basically someone following
    me around with a camera (or so it seemed). And then, a couple decades later,
    "30-something" and once again my life is on a screen.

    I had that experience with the movie "Office Space," and then with the
    "Venture Brothers."

    Oh, and Krabbé's rider was totally about me, except the chess parts,

    It's not hard to do, but you once said, it's wrong to expose the identity or
    whereabouts of posters.
