@DetroitCity: You keep arrogantly bringing up your provenance and resumé. Are you claiming Ms. Courtney now sucks these days simply because you're a guy and can beat all the women in one aspect of racing a bicycle?

@DetroitCity: Well, which is it? First you said the courses were just easy. But now you're saying it's about the quality of the competition. Quit moving the goalposts.
And since you're captaining the Good Ship Obvious...of course if you're not first someone was better than you. You could say that about anyone outside the top 5/podium. I'm not an expert debater, or avid race fan, but you could come up with something better. After you're done dusting ALL the women at your local mountain toonie race.

@pmhobson: Or during any race. I think KingPooPing and DetroitCity might enjoy lunch and a beer together.

@DetroitCity: "No woman on this planet can drop me uphill."
Ok, I feel better knowing I didn't really fall for anything. That concentrated hubris is throwing your balance off though.

@DetroitCity & @mm732 : I know I'm falling for this but I'll hold your beer while we check in on what no skills gets you.
Ms. Courtney is a World Champion, 10 time World Cup winner, 5 time National Champion, winner of 37 world-ranked races and is ranked 12th in the world. Admittedly, I don't know how up to date the ranking is but I'm not sure no-skills gets you this resume. If she has an off year or is struggling...welcome to the world of high-performance athletics. Also, a top-20 finish at a world-stage race...crash or not, to be the top 20 of anything in the world at any given time is pretty amazing.
Anyway, here's your beer back, go ahead and fire away.

Elite XCC Results from the Snowshoe XC World Cup 2023
As a card-carrying member of the PB Usually Indifferent Non-Race Fan Contingent, I never thought of privateers in the XC discipline as it seems to be more talked about in the eduro/DH disciplines. But to have 5 privateers place in the top 40 across two elite classes is pretty exciting. Especially when you're less than 20 seconds behind Pidcock and ahead of Mat WhatTheFluck.

@rat-race-wheels: Off topic, are "Wisconsin people" referred to as:
- actual "Wisconsin" people due to no other reference word?
- Wisconsinites?
- Wisconsinians?
- Wisconsonians?
- Wisconsoners?
- Wisconsolites?
- Wisco is dead baby! (?)
- Anythng ridiculously related to cheese?

Elastomers Are Back? SRAM Patents 'ButterCups For Shocks'
@jomacba: Before I read the whole thing that's what I thought these were for. I thought it weird for SRAM to be taking that on care of the frame manufacturers, but it was an interesting thought.

Same. I bet a large double double that it got ejected from his bottle cage. But it's probably trail side trash. Would be amazing if he was holding it at the time.
