Hee Hee. I got asked this once, my husband, who is an amateur racer, gets asked a lot. One of his band mates asks repeatedly,even so far as "Do you race against any people in the Tour day France?" Originally Posted by Trek420

We now just ask him why he's not in the Masters or the US Open (he's a golfer, so whatever tournament is going on at time)."Bicycling is a big part of the future. It has to be. There's something wrong with a society that drives a car to workout in a gym." -- Bill Nye
