At first, I was all for having the pros show up wherever and whenever they want. It’s a free country and I’m cool with racing with anybody that likes to get after it.
I’ve changed my mind. Last weekend Jeremiah Bishop shows up and beats me and I miss the podium! If it wasn’t for him I would’ve finished another spot higher, in 115th! 
We’re just riding bikes and getting sweaty and dirty. Let’s put egos aside and have some fun.
