smerds Posted April 16, 2012 Share What is up with mtb riders these days leaving your previous event number on when arriving at an event or when doing a ride a week after the event. Surely when you clean your bike you take your numbers off …..? I’m I missing something or why would riders do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted April 16, 2012 Share It all depends on what letter that little seeding sticker has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtrider Posted April 16, 2012 Share If you got your seeded number board you normally keep it on your bike , then everybody can see you are seeded F and should not be messed with ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted April 16, 2012 Share If you got your seeded number board you normally keep it on your bike , then everybody can see you are seeded F and should not be messed with ! F... no ways D is the default printed on the board under the sticker... atleast go with that! Mine says "A" ...but only cos I'm A seeded for 20km races Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubarra Posted April 16, 2012 Share I had the same thought this weekend at the Breede Mtb race. I assume its mosly people who dont ride often and just pitch up for races, alternatively they wanted to brag that they started in the last group in the 30km Argus funride...

Big JD Posted April 16, 2012 Share It's amazing how may people leave that Epic sticker on their top tube for months after the event. Reminds me of that joke: Q: How do you know if someone has done the Epic? A: Don't worry they will tell you MeridaHFS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerds Posted April 16, 2012 Share Jip also noted it this weekend at Breede race ..... I make a specific reference to mtb bikes since I understand that you don’t want to take of your league number on your road bike which is the plastic tag under your seat and since the number stays the same.

Reminds me of that joke: Q: How do you know if someone has done the Epic? A: Don't worry they will tell you What from the sticker? ... It's like that other old joke. How do you know if you're talking to a pilot? They'll tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agteros Posted April 16, 2012 Share Much like engineers. They also have a tendency to tell you they are engineers.... Brian Fantana 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minion Posted April 16, 2012 Share Much like engineers. They also have a tendency to tell you they are engineers....It's because of the limited small talk repertoire. "Hi, pleased to meet you, I'm Edward.""Hi, Edward, I'm Sam. What do you do for a living?""I'm a mechanical engineer, and you?""I'm a (something not an engineer).""Oh, that's interesting."<conversation drifts off as Edward has now run out of things to say> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
