I probably will but I just wish that some NEW insights would be presented, like a PRO's point of view. I appreciate you "devils advocate" approach to getting the debate going (even though your stance has fluctuated somewhat over the last 20+ pages in order to keep the temperature up). So, in a nutshell, here are my views: 1) The Elites & Pro's need to be able to participate in "no holds barred" RACING and therefore it is the responsibility of the Race Organisers to arrange appropriate safety precautions & measure etc 2) The FUNRIDERS ( the problem is where do these begin?) need to stick to the white line rule or be DQ'd. So the PRO's will having Police "front men" and rolling road closures while fun riders will have marshalls acting as "policemen" . I don't know if we are the only country in the world where the PRo's and Funriders ride together in the same race, route and day. Maybe the answer is to provide a greater time separation between the groups. I do also think that there is a certain amount of "shirking" of responsibilty by PPA and to now place the photographers on the Hub in a difficult position is also not correct. They (PPA) should be doing the policing as well. After all - they do charge for the race/Funride!! And I to could go on and on and on and ...........racman2007-12-04 06:15:10
