Reasons for not doing the DC

[PeterM]

Reasons for not doing the DC:

1. Race canceled due to road being washed away – NO, despite us being cyclists we still kept some of our ability of walking short distances.
   
    
   
2. Race cancelled due to civil unrest – damn NO, we are road cyclists and we invented civil disobedience.
   
    
   
3. Race cancelled due to safety concern of dangerous farm workers – this is a concern as we don’t want the underpaid farm workers getting hurt, but still NO.
   
    
   
4. Race cancelled due to rain – sorry, I don't get the question.
   
    
   
5. Not doing the DC race due to sub-standard training – (Official answer: “You will do just fine”) Real Answer: “Yeah! Let the suffer-fest begin.”
   
    
   
6. Not doing the DC race due to you needing to be present at: funeral/datenight/wedding/birth/2^nd honeymoon/baptism/court hearing – Well, you better cycle the DC really fast so that you can get to the ‘other’ venue “just-on-time”.
   
    
   
7. Not doing the DC race due to old bike/technical issues – and the question was what?
   
    
   
8. Not doing the DC race due to fear/nervousness/panic – good, honest and fair question, and now please revert back to the answer at point No.5
   
    
   
9. Not doing the DC race due to your car-ride to Swellendam is letting you down – and yes, it is a truism that your bicycle can be used as a mode of transportation as well.
   
    
   
10. Not doing the DC race due to the fact that the whole team hates you – not really, you don’t know that for a fact; actually they love you (as in tough-love).
    
     
    
11. . . . . – I forgot . . . (you fill it in)
    
     
    
12. None of the above – Good, see you in Swellendam!
