That sucks! You are very persistent so I'm sure you will find these guys. Keep at it.

Larry, I think the only viable solution at this point is to dial it to 400 watts, and drope them all

Can you actually drope other riders? I thought that was only for hamers.

Bikes: An old orange one for dirt, and for the other stuff: a white one, a kinda mint green one, and a black one.
Drope hamers.
build guads.
Dial it up like you are a toaster oven.
roughly 19 mph
unless they had been training with power, there is no way they could match your speed.
Give him the look.
slam dance.
*EDIT: nothing to see here. move along.

A very good friend of mine went down in a corner not wearing a helmet, hitting her head on the curbing. She was knocked out unconscious and was bleeding profusely from ear and nose and other gashes on her head. She was taken by ambulance to the local trauma center where she remained in a coma for 2 weeks. She had to relearn all basic skills; talking, feeding herself, walking, you name it. She could never return to work after that or ride a bike. After seeing that up close and personal I always wore a helmet. One grave unpredictable life changing event which can happen in a flash is nothing to be so cavalier about, but its your trip.
