They have A and B rides and from what you guys are saying Id be good enough but they just wont give me a chance.
here's a ride report from someone on here who took the time to ride with me and he talks of our time. ( if you guys want to peek) I know I work hard and I could do this!
I wonder if I should just have the balls to just show up this year regardless of what they say?

I say, join the ride and drop all of them. I would suggest you wear pink and add streamers to the bike. Don't forget to give them "the look." People like this need to be crushed in the most humiliating way possible.
