Anyone know somebody going?

I've got $20 on my buddy Asbj=F8rn Kristiansen for the 50-52 age group.

I don't think those age categories are fine enough.
I mean, men's classes 1-4 are 30-34 up to 45-49,
then all of a sudden it's every 3 years, 50-52, 53-55,
up to 62-64, then back to 65-69. It's too damn
confusing for us old guys! Why can't they just
have a separate race for every year: Masters 50
year old WC, Masters 51 year old WC, and so on.

That would be good for me. One year out of five (or three), Dr. Vic
Copeland is ahead of me in the age categories. If they went to single
years, I'd never have to race against him!

Of course, if there is another living human being in my age category,
I'm gonna get beat anyhow....

Just think of all the money in it for the WC jersey manufacturers.
They'd have to outsource it to China (if the jersey is lead
impregnated its from China).

Nope. Going here instead:

My money's on Al Whaley and Larry Nolan.
