LMFAO!!
I just read that whole topic there sasquatula! Ok Industrial, march rite down to a local bike shop, and challange someone there to a race. And by race, what do you meen just on cement pedalling as fast as you can, or actually doing things on trails? If it is on trails I will garuntee you you will not win against anyone that races at a bikeshop around you. No way. Keep in mind there has to be restrictions though, If he races downhill, chances are he is running an 8 speed while you are running a 21, with totally diferent gear combinations. And you say you can beat anyone around where you live, and then you said you are a country boy, that means you dont live around anyone.
You have to take everything into consideration when you are racing, because beating a guy on a perfectly flat surface when you have 21 gears and he has 8 is nothin to be proud of. I am sure you didn't know that though, by reading that other topic and what you said I can already tell your not the coldest beer in the fridge.
