flat29 Posted November 14, 2013 Share because people love complaining and moaning about nothing And they feel that if they pay then they must complain about something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Potgieter Posted November 14, 2013 Share Good grief , I been cycling for 25 odd years and I remember the days when we could not wait to go get our silly number out in the sticks and race whatever was put in front of us as best we could . we all just loved the sport and nobody bitched .no days everyone has a gripe about EVERY thing , too hard , to technical, to flat, too steep , no water points, no chicken burgers , bottle necks , tar is to black , sand is too dusty ,my goodie bag has no free cream for my soft ass skin , wtf , bla bla bla . when did our cycling society becomes such whinges ? Bit of an overshare there big boy.... Iron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azi Posted November 14, 2013 Share Would be interesting to see how many guys who complained last year and said that was their last 94.7 are complaining again this year! I reached there at about 11:15, and it was very busy inside, with long snaking queues. Went to find the front of the BB queue so that I wouldn't stand in the incorrect queue, only to find that it ended 5 people from the front. Was done in about 5 minutes. Must be the good karma of riding for a cause! slowpoke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Potgieter Posted November 14, 2013 Share Ok, here you go boys.... On sunday when you are riding your bikes looking for crap to moan about, sing this in your head. Please remember why you got on a bike in the first place.....just to have some fun. I am busy teaching my son to ride without training wheels. You want to see his face when he starts getting it...it is sheer elation and bliss. BET YOU EVERYTHING I OWN HE AINT BITCHING ABOUT GOODY BAGS.

Cyclewizz Posted November 14, 2013 Share Hmmm.. Ok, so far we have established the following:the queues are an issuethe location of the expo is an issuethe cost of the parking is an issuethe cost of the race is an issuethe goody bag is an issuethe parking at the race venue is an issuethe seeding is an issueetc etcSo, based on the above, why the hell did you enter? Surely if its that much of a problem, you wouldnt bother putting yourself through all that aggrevation? Or the race itself is worth it, in which case, pardon my language, but then shut the hell up about the issues and look passed them. Wait until Sunday afternoon / Monday, then you going to hear a lot more complaints !!!!!too hottoo windytoo easytoo hardhad to park far awaybunches too big / smalltoo little tequilabar one girls distracted meetcetc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosmonooit Posted November 14, 2013 Share ... So .. why the hell did you enter? Surely if its that much of a problem, you wouldnt bother putting yourself through all that aggrevation? Or the race itself is worth it, in which case, pardon my language, but then shut the hell up about the issues and look passed them. Perhaps if you were there today you might have a different view. It was a serious frustrating mess, and I think most of us are miffed because, we as a paying customer feel we could have been treated better. I done many a Argus and 94.7, this was the worst treatment ever at a number collection ritual so I do have something to compare it with. Most of the time, each number booth had a queue almost going out the entrance, and all were painfully slow moving. Parking: R20 is not a lot of money but it is rip off to park in an open parking lot.

So all i am saying is then why put yourself through all of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joffter Posted November 14, 2013 Share Expo is a fleamarket indeed, and nothing wrong with that IMO.Fantastic deal on the Suunto Ambit 2 - R1,500 off the normal price.Makes one wonder if you weren't being ripped a new 'Ring" in the first place.

kosmonooit Posted November 14, 2013 Share So all i am saying is then why put yourself through all of that? Exactly, that's probably why I will be giving it a miss in future. This was grim! Won't stop me joining in the fun though. Wayne Potgieter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
