Oh, wait. Portland.
Yup, I see why now.
Yeah but look at his proposed rules...
- Using a compacts or triple should result in immediate suspension
- Never use a tire size above 23 mm.
- Using the small chainring should be avoided at all cost. (Grinding knee noises are totally normal).
- Take the manufacturers recommended tire pressure and add 20.
- Cyclocrossing is forbidden. CXers use knobby treads and carry their bikes. How fricking lame is that!?!!
- Riding a mixte or dutch will should result in immediate demotion to cat 1.
- Cycling in sandals is only permitted if they have cleats.
- Cycling at a cadence of less than 60 is only permitted when legally required to stop.
This guy wouldn't last 10 minutes in the
Tweed Ride. I'm not convinced he's really even from Portland.
