This is a long message from the NE list:

I just want to inform everyone that the Monson Road Race will no longer be held due to a variety of incidents that occurred this past weekend. You should also be aware that the incidents that I am referring to are a direct result of many of the racers themselves. Unfortunately, their inconsideration and inability to respect the town and community has resulted in the Chief of Police denying any further request to hold this race in
Monson.

I have just been informed by the Town Selectmen that the Monson Road Race will no longer be approved due to several reasons: (1) Unsafe warming up on the race course. Many racers thought they could warm up on the course prior to their event, forcing cars toward oncoming racers. You were warned not to warm up on the course, yet many of you disregarded this announcement and it resulted in unsafe conditions and one of the main reasons for the denial of future events here. (2) Many riders off the back of the main pack felt that the entire road was now theirs. Again, this resulted in very unsafe conditions and traffic backups. The Police felt that these straggling riders were unprotected since they seemed to be riding all over the road.

As many of you know, it is very difficult promoting bike races. I have strived to provide the best racing conditions possible, trying to create optimal racing conditions for everyone. After eight years of putting on the
Monson race, it is my extreme displeasure to announce that it is over. I think that we, as conscientious racers, need to be more aware of our surroundings when we race. We do not own the town when we race there for a few hours, and need to be aware of the communities who are kind enough to allow us to utilize their roads. Unfortunately, Monson will no longer be one of those communities, but you have only yourselves to thank for that.

Please be aware of what you do and how you conduct yourselves at future events or else Monson will not be the last to begin denying events. As is usually the case, it is the actions of a few who ruin many things for the majority. For those of you who raced responsibly in Monson this year and in years past, thank you.

This is from Mike Norton a NEBRA board member and promoter of several races here.
This has become a huge issue here with several races in serious danger. All you fuckheads need to wake up and stop blaming everyone but yourselves. You have a huge chunk of the responsibility whether the races continue to happen.
