Who has the right of way?

Not true! A lot of guys won't move over for a chick, especially on a downhill. I mean imagine what their friends will save if a girl beat them downhill..........

 

I prefer riding behind the girls, views r better.

Lol. I know. But then, I'm one of those people who will cheer you on as you fly past me.

"Hi how was your race?"

"Good, but the bottlenecks and slow riders hurt my time..." blah blah blah... excuses

That explains ten minutes off your time, and what about the other hour?

Some good advice given earlier re. preventing bottle necks in the single track.

Ha ha, I'll tell you a little story.......

 

At Sani I had to move out of the way just before the finish line to let the ladies racing for podium pass. That was on day 3 after the reverse start when I started almost 2 hours before them. I've been thinking up excuses ever since, but haven't come up with anything useful, so I might as well confess.

 

But hey, I'm fast in the single track!

I got a funny story too, a few weeks ago I asked a guy if I could overtake, we were climbing a hill. As I came past he replied "No problem, come past, I'll ride behind your chassis anytime!" I laughed and told him he was lucky I was tierd so I won't slap him. Ten minutes later at the watering table he pulled up, He was so embarrassed because he then realised I was not "Tanya". Laughs all round

And that is exactly why I love racing...the spirit / laughs / interactions are the things you remember, not the 4 seconds you shaved off your time because you had your singletrack cape on.

My best races events were because of the mates and laughs we had(mackie / dips / eldron / jakalas / graham / chuckky / jcza / swift / meyer boys / typhoon / ross / Idejongh) will agree with me I am sure
