You seemed to confuse "Road Bike Racing" with "Beer Chugging Over-Paid Couldn't-run-a-mile-to-save-his-life Redneck Racing".

I'm not sure where that other forum is, and I don't really care.

Alright - some of us are rednecks (maybe one of us) on this forum. Not the fat, out-of-shape, beer chugging, sleep with your cousin, trailer dwellers, but.

And some of these NASCAR rednecks ride bikes as well. Heck they opened the Charlotte Motor Speedway for TT.

Incorrect

Anyone who thinks Rally racing is for sissys is a numbskull. That stuff is grueling.

yeah, seems like it

at least robby gordon competes against full fields when he races instead of pretending to be a badass when decimating a massive field of 12 other riders

You may just have to submit to the fact that not everyone likes your boring "sport".

^^^^^ Nor does anybody have to.

I don't give two rat's buttlips if anyone wants to make fun of me for where I live or what I like. No water off my back - or cheap swill for that matter. I just wish people would understand that there may be a few lowlife readnecks here who appreciate the heck out of cycling.

if you mean NASCAR, i agree. it's lame. but if you mean auto racing as a whole, then you should just submit to the fact they're called "MOTORsports" for a reason. then again, if by "your sport" you mean the sports that i regualrly participate in, then you're calling cycling and tennis boring. it's fine if you don't like tennis, but odd that you still ride your bike as much as you do if it's really that boring to you.

*shrug*
