is mn bike racing authentic?


concerned that bicycles being raced in minnesota may not be authentic/relevant outside of mn/mpls/twitter.com.
ToGC was in St.Cloud this last weekend. I didn't go.
Heard it was not going to be 'the place to be' and that the cool kids were going to 'just chill' in the city.
would have possibly went for the bowling. was not aware that the was anything authentic to do in sterns county.

what can the ToGC do to be 'more authentic'?
move to wisconsin?
protour teams are racing in wiscompton right now.
while mn had 5 guys in the masters/oldschool/bitter field sunday.

would you buy tickets for the ToGC if lancearmstrongs/gregslemond/greenday were racing?
if there was a event t-shirt/clownsuit/handbag for purchase [via the internet] would you buy one to feel like you were 'part of the movement' in sterns county?


[man in backgrd points/laughs at old man inflitrating the #tdf.
where is the badger when you need him?]

feel like opus is 'very relevant' while races sterns county get treated like 'total shit'.
feel conflicted about the scene y'all.
someone tell me what to buy. i need to be authentic.

think i will go to the tuff ride to purchase some street cred before the next meatyard criterium.

is cyclocross going to catch on and be the 'next big thing', or will it fade away into obscurity like cadel evans?
will bicycles ever be accepted as real/tangible/authentic?
what protour kits do you buy to let drivers know you are a relevant cyclist?

your questions are valid and your composition is reminiscent of a hybrid of gg and sjp in satc.

i knew there was a reason i understood it.

stop reading hipster runoff. it's no longer relevant/authentic [via you copying it].

well, your only other option for my content is 'mcf racing as it pertains to gossip girl season 1'.

take your pick.
