What are the roadies gonna think

…when I wear my Orca sprint trisuit because I don’t own a time trial skinsuit at the local tour prolouge tomorrow?

he he he. Can’t wait. I love pissing off roadies, even though I am one. I think they’re self-important idiots generally :wink:

If it’s a USACycling event, and your trisuit doesn’t have sleeves, they’re “gonna think” you’re not going to be allowed to start :wink:

… I think they’re self-important idiots generally :wink:

More so than Triathletes? Really?

I think like Tom. They are going to think the silly dude brought a knife to a gun fight and may have to sit this one out unless he gets some sleeves on that tri suit. Rules is rules no matter how cool you are. Buy a long sleeve rash guard for surfing in the same color and they won’t notice.

You post says that you’re 23, but you’ve only been riding since age 22?
Is that right?

less than a year. What is “A grade” anyway?

His post says that he is 23 but also says “I came into racing late at 22 with a job.”

A year of racing doesn’t dictate his cycling experience in my eyes.

It means he’s from NZ :wink:

i believe it’s how they rate eggs and commercial office space. not sure about how it relates to cycling though.

As was mentioned, might want to check your local rules are sleeves are needed at USA Cycling events …

I’ve got a 40K time trial this Sat and I’m sporting my cyclocross outfit as it is still a bit chilly!

Yeah, and what does anti-submarine warfare have to do with anything?

This was all meant to be a dig at the roadie fashion customs. Not sure where it went wrong … ?

Probably when you didn’t realize there are a lot of roadies who hang out here on Slowtwitch. :stuck_out_tongue:

asw …

asswipe?

Ah…come on guys…all he wanted to do was talk about how young he is, how he hasn’t commited to cycling because he has a real job, how after a year of cycling he is a cat 1-2 cyclist and that he also does tries and it going to wear a tri suit to a road race. And you all had to go scare him off and now he is gone :wink:

nah. there are much faster people than me around. The best I can usually do is mid-pack in a very little town in a very little country. I don’t have a clue what a USA race actually looks like. You just reminded me I can probably get more out of life by not hanging around on teh internet forums. I’ll never have a 400w FTP ?

So gone is not gone?
