That's how it used to be when I started back in the mid 90's, and it was fun for many years. I don't race now (well, I did a mates race this year, only one in 6 years) and doubt I can be bothered again, becoming far too much faff and political for me. But each to their own, I would probably still be keen as mustard to race if I was 20 years younger, it gives a lot of pleasure to many and that's what counts.
