I almost posted (on BJ) something like:

"I'm just going to ignore that..." but didn't for fear of the backlash.

I remember when the first woman ran the Boston marathon and the race director attempted to forcibly remove her from the course (I grew up in a running-focused household). As a result of that memory, I have always felt very strongly that women should be encouraged to be active. As a participant in many different all-women sports activities, I can say that they have been some of the most rewarding and memorable of times.

What would happen if a man rode in LRRH? Probably nothing, other than a few stares and snide comments.

I'm puzzled too. What do the men of TE say?
