Thanks. Regarding the ebikes, I just finished my first one on my own steam in 5:31 on my dual sus MTB (slicks though). I only started cycling a year ago when time allows (i.e. not that much) on trails. I put in a bit more effort with spin class and 1 longer ride every week since Jan. All this for my own personal achievement. Now I do not mind seeing ebikes on the trails, as long as the riders don't act like idiots (like the one that cut me on the inside on a single track climb and basically pushed me off the trail). When it comes to a race or any timed event don't think they should be there. Like everything in sport it is about fairness. Now someone on a ebike has a CTCT medal, when the guy and his son get a DNF... It seems that discussion comes after every event. Organisers need to be more strict. If this is now the norm and allowed, I might go do the gun run or 2 oceans on roller blades or better with an hoverboard...
