Bobbo_SA Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 My problem with the Strava idea is that it is extremely easy to manipulate your times electronically on sections. I can see a lot of cheating and most of it wont be traceable. I also think we are over-estimating how many people actually log their rides on strava etc. My take on seeding & mass participation events is that no seeding system in this world will avoid bottlenecks at mass participation events, it really only takes one or 2 riders dismounting in a narrow passage and voila you have a bottleneck. You either take your sense of humour along to the event or work the existing seeding system to get an early start (no sympathy for the "I'm really talented but don't do races so my seeding is bad" brigade from me.) Add a few "obstacles" before the official start line, between the starting pens and the timing mats should work, if you get over them then you can continue to the start, else you can go to the back of the next batch and try again.
RockCoach Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 How badly do you want to do the log jump?? I got a guy to do it last week, he was on a 29er with clips and all. I have a secret ingredient Do you use the "I'm a girl and I can do it" dare which few male egos can resist?
