Don't mock Z group, even the dopers need to start there to get to A! The really sad thing is there will definitely be some insecure D grouper out there who thinks he's stuck in D because all the other guys are doping! Like I said, if you have to dope in the Cape you need some mental health assistance. While i understand where you are coming from Wille and to some extent i agree i have to make a stand here and say that you are correct in saying that to dope is bad but i get the feeling your are rubbing the local scene here in CT a little harshly. I know the level of racing is better in Europe and especially in Holland but you make it out as if the people in Europe are genetically more superior to us and we kinda need to apologize for even thinking of riding a bike. I dont think this is 100% true - our league is competitive relatively speaking - most of us work jobs and have families yet we still race out bikes out there as hard as we can (doping or no doping) and for us it is quite an achievement. I do think our league level is quite high (not the highest) but i dont think their are many places in the world that offer a competitive league like ours that is so formally organised (this is for the competitive working class athlete) In summation quite a few of our elites are world class - and do rather well i think - this being groomed in our PPA league and mite i also mention that our vets league is probably even better. Dave Garret got an 8th at worlds last year ( i think) so believe it buddy - when u race here you are racing against some of the best! just a thought..
