Nah, genuinely not on a windup - and I'd never criticise anyone who organises and promotes an actual event.
Obviously racing is expensive, but are you really getting sufficient value from your sponsors to make racing significantly cheaper? Fair enough if so.
I suppose there aren't many races in the UK so you have to travel to them... but then I don't understand why you'd fly to the States unless you were pretty confident of doing pretty well. I'd stress that these are general observations and not specifically about your or any other fixie crew.

Last sentence on the second to last paragraph...
I know you're probably just on a wind up, but you obviously know how much racing actually costs and that it can restrict people getting into racing that really want to race more. I don't think people actually appreciate how much hard work goes on behind the scenes.
I've personally worked my bollocks off for the last year, arranging team stuff, organising races and attracting sponsorship to allow me to provide the team with some kit and help me reward racers with prizes at our events. Nothing comes for free, it's all hard earned.
