You guys are entitled to some self-aggrandizing. The world needs more Strada Rossa type events that bring diverse groups together. I had roadies comment on my Atlantis. While standing there trying to pick up the next course marking, a gal on a serious looking MTB said "follow me" & led us along the course for several miles (we got lost shortly after she dropped us). The crowd at the BBQ was spandex, baggy shorts, T-shirts, you name it. Everyone felt right at home. Of course, a beer & a camp chair does that to me.
