because that's the problem with the whole situation--stats and standings don't mean anything. i'm not opposed to throwing them out there--well aware that they'll throw everyne into a tizzy and people will come out of the woodwork to question them and mock me. they're just numbers--completely meaningless. i don't mind being called out on stuff. it's fun. it's fun to see how seriously people take these things--particularly in the context of the first post in the thread.
why was armstrong riding in CP in the first place? most likely... for fun. that should be all that matters in anything we do. we shouldn't need reasons, categories, races and sponsors to ENJOY something. it shouldn't be about any of that.
we should push eachother, ourselves and our friends for no other reason than we enjoy it. not everything needs a venue.
