Oh plenty. Whilst not beyond reproach, the new people under Ciska are making an effort at least and Gauteng for example is seeing some kind of proactive representation.
Uphill battle considering the nonsense that has been going on the last few previous years. Compounded by the politics involved between past and present members.
Considering that Jean (Cycle World, Bloem) is a Norco dealer and part of the Cycles United group who represent the brand here. Yes, entirely coincidental and logical. Happy to point him here to confirm.
Packed up and moving, someone else has bought into her business. Not sure where that leaves the skills training.
To the OP
Daisyway is another option that side, exceptional crew. Erica and Spook are good people and have an extensive MTB history.
Alternatively, perhaps Myles could point you to someone that side?
This argument completely conflates the discussion.
Actually you don't, the indemnity is required by law to mitigate negligence. Like if you do something stupid, you can't sue the organisers. But the organisers do assume a form of liability as they have committed to ensuring safety of participants and staff.
So rocking up on the start line with the expectation of having all organisational structures in place, isn't just at your risk, it's at the risk of others as well.
If people were so adamant at doing the route at their own risk, then why not do so without all the event hoopla? One team did.
Often in scenarios like this it also comes down to a broader perspective that provincial and disaster management services have to consider. There may be other areas that emergency services need to attend to because of the weather, that means the priority has shifted from being on call for baby sitting duty, to performing mission critical work in the area.
Also it isn't just about participant safety, it's about the collective safety of everyone involved.
There are literally dozens to hundreds of backend considerations to factor. Didn't see rocks in the road? Look up. Rock falls above present a higher risk and need to be assessed further. A closed off road for hours with thousands of riders and vehicles would compound the danger.
But just one example.
Please man, you okes think Copperlake and Red Label qualify. Go forth to Braam and the Parks, there ye shall find majestically moustached and inked hipsters quaffing their artisanal liquor bevvies like drunken flamingoes.
Well I think was between that and Tertius going full double cab in his first post.
All in all though, it's not an entirely unreasonable request from the gym that cant be amicably resolved. But it wouldn't be Bryanston/Fourways with out the flexing
