Because it was hard and as soon as a course or event that comes along that's hard, everyone complains and runs to their mommas bitchin'.
why cant anyone beat WIZ?
For the same reason that "nobody could be Weinert", for a while...and "Card, for a while". Wiz is a good rider, but unfortunately, time will win the true race.

Which ones...and once again, why do you care?
why are there so many Bissell riders?
Better question. Why are there so many Bissell riders without personalities?
why do i do the things i do?
If you mean 99% of the things that you do, it's because you pick the easy things.
why do some riders change teams every year?
Over inflated self worth and no loyalty.

Specifically power to weight ratio, but obviously to all but you, your own 30-something percent body fat and "love handles".
why cant I train more?
No discipline.

Because you are homosexual or female.
why do i complain all the time?
Those that complain, can't do.

A woman needs to know her limitations.

Racial profiling.

Ok, this is getting redundant, but...Because X is hard and as soon as an event comes along that's hard, everyone complains and runs to their mommas bitchin'.
why doesn't Tailwind pay out for the masters?
Only Elite level racers should get $. If old racers want $, race Elite category. Oh, I forgot, we're all supposed to keep lying to ourselves and each other because it's easier that way.
why is the MMBA board so judgemental?

I love the concept of TMS, but truth is hard and anon allows freedom of speech without fear or retribution.

$ and time.
why is racing at Waterford hill so important?
In the real cycling world, it is not important. See "self inflated egos "rant"" further up.
why is does someone reply DOPAGE on tms, for every post?
Limited vocabulary.
why don't they race on Thursday nights in Windsor any longer?
Promotion is a thankless, time consuming job.
why do the Wolverines change there clothing colors every year?
To force their members to spend unnecessary money in which the "trim" is funneled back into the club account...we hope.

Fear and lack of commitment.

That is the correct depth to pay.

Apparently TMS isn't a Vegan.

Ok, I thought that the last time had come but apparently not. So...because stage racing is hard and as soon as an event comes along that's hard, everyone complains and runs to their mommas bitchin'.
why didnt any of the bells beer guys race cross in 09?
Ok, I really think that now this will be the last time, but...because X is hard and...
