Please DO NOT be quiet! Nothing could possibly replace
your wisdom on Ridecamp.

Oath
Dear Ridecampers. I don't think I phrased my last
message to ridecamp = properly. My interpretation
from the article is that Bode feels we = have strayed from the Olympic
oath, which he subscribes to as do almost = all endurance riders=E2=80=94the
parallel I made with endurance riders. = He does not agree that you are loser
if you do not get the gold, but = feels that is the direction the Olympics
have gone. His quote "That's = not me. The Olympics are just not a pure thing
anymore." That is why we = must be vigorous in protecting our "To Finish Is
To Win" philosophy, >which I hold dear. I promise to keep quiet
now- for a long time. Julie
