NotSoBigBen Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 As Amoryn says, 'lordporthcrawl' you can't be serious? *shake my head* I am assuming you have been involved with race organisation? More than once I have heard of 'land owners' refusing permission (previously given I might add) at the last minute ........ I know the ones around Walkerville as we train there almost every weekend and damn they can be cranky

More than once I have heard of 'land owners' refusing permission (previously given I might add) at the last minute ........ I know the ones around Walkerville as we train there almost every weekend and damn they can be cranky It's because you ride like a hooligan and scare the cows ;-)In this case I don't think 'lordporthcrawl' should feel to done in...I know the organisers and they definitly had to change the route at very short notice - not their fault really...

jcza Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 It's understandable that they had to change the route, however it will be helpful to announce at the start that the route is now 10 km shorter.
Pieterg Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Where can I get my race number.Want to see if there is any pictures of me on action pictures.
HairyLegs Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Where can I get my race number.Want to see if there is any pictures of me on action pictures. From the results.

Danger Dassie Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 God, we're getting more Americanized every day. Say how much we enjoyed the event, then in the same breathe mention the possibility of legal action. Meine vok .... it's just too funny!
scotty Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Enjoyed the race and was glad to see the finish line...BUT..... If I pay for a 60 km event and it ends up being 51.9 kms then am I entitled to feel like I've been shafted somewhere along the way ? Anyone know if the Consumer Protection Act could be enforced against event organisers who do not fulfil the advertised distance for events ? Seems to me this is becoming a common occurrence.Some kind of a sliding formula, for each meter short you get % entry fee back, if the route is longer than advertised you pay in the diffs or don't get a medal/results

Moses Venceslau Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Does anyone know where to view the photos from the Walkerville race
