I cycled from Katse back to Afriski in 2006 and it was moer hard. Had to push our bike for around 20k's on 4x4 trails that I wouldn't have taken a Land Rover on.
Eish, seeing that the UCI are running it, I better not show up at the start line lest my 327th finishers place warrants me having to pee in a jar and they ban me for taking flu medicine!
Haha, I see I have mate who is highly ranked in his age category for the downhill but I reckon he's never sat on a dh bike in his life, let alone ridden one.
Transparency and open communication are the key in any "service" organisation. By banning people, deleting posts, not answering or ignoring emails, people will start to question the ethics and honesty of the leaders within that organisation.
