Ok! I will come clean. I was in charge of the second sector of the race, the part going past South Gate and turning of on the M1. Not so much being part of the management team, but pulling my weight where needed, I for one know what effort goes into the planning and managing of the race. Just referring to my sector, I was up at 2 in the morning putting up signage and sweeping the road. We had a hell of a problem with taxis coming from Soweto going to South Gate and being downhill cyclists where going tremendously fast, yet at my sector there was no incidents. This can only be contributed to the hours of work that have gone in before the race. There is a multitude of sectors with people like me putting in a lot of effort. To read these kinds of defamatory remarks, after all the work that has gone into the race, was unbearable. I know Len as a man of exceptional integrity and a specialist in his field, as the rest of the comity. You have been apologised to and if I am not mistaken you have received your money, why keep perusing this? As you know all the proceeds are given to charities in the Gauteng area ? so we are all working for FREE!! The matter of the delay in the prize money has been discussed. Maybe you can help clarify some of the rules for us. How long does a cyclist have to make an appeal? If it is only a couple of hours than I will personally push for payment on the race day. If it is a couple of days than that is another story! we are not assosiated with the 94.7 I used to compete at provincial boxing level Staal2009-02-05 09:24:53
