    Using slightly broader categories

    1. rider
    2. local knowledge
    3. bike
    4. support team
    5. luck


    In that list

    bike = money
    local knowledge - can anyone beat Sketchy @ Manfeild or Jaden @ HD
    Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem
