Guest Smimby Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 And there you have it folks, always two sides to the story....total exaggeration is what I had feeling from the first post. Pity that a few with the mindset of "I paid, now I am entitled" spoil it for everyone.Dont forget "hold your line" on a MTB ride HUH???
rouxtjie Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Dont forget "hold your line" on a MTB ride HUH???hold your line...HOLD YOUR LINE??????? I am the line pel. LOL

SAGecko Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Absolutely. Always two (in this case three) sides to a story. Chill lads. Have that beer together. 99.9% of MTBikers are really nice guys (same story for road rage incidents...)
Skubarra Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 hold your line...HOLD YOUR LINE??????? I am the line pel. LOL Didn't Johnny Cash sang a great song about mtb'ing? - I hold the line!
Runbikeswim Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 My final say on this matter. This post was about the reaction from said guy. Yes we all sometimes swerve by mistake, I simply shouted, watch your line to warn him. This guy over reacted and started swearing. I think that was wrong. My post was meant to 1stly warn this guy, this behaviour is not accepted, Secondly to encourage other to behave in a better fashion.. Point closed.

The thing is you should not have shouted for him to hold his line, it is a MTB ride. So you provoked the reaction! Without YOUR action there would not have been an RE-action.

JCA12 Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 While I agree that its not good to swear at someone, I also get frustrated with the "hold your line" phrase on a mountain bike. I have been told a few times to hold my line in very thick sand, which is impossible especially if a few hundred bicycles have already gone through and churned it up.
TALUS Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 People, the "track" at that point is WIDE! The whole TDF peloton would go through there at 50km/h. If you are on a MTB and you just did singletrack on NF, you should really be able to deal with most eventualities there. In the last 7days I did 4 days of riding with 1200 or more riders on the trials at the same time. No shouting or swearing. Also no "lines". Freaking hell - how sterile do you want your riding?

Point closed.If you were driving cars it would be something like this ... I was driving along and tried to overtake a car that slowed on a hill, I hooted as I tried to overtake on the blind rise over the white line and the guy didn't move into the emergency lane, instead he swore at me. He was so wrong I thought I would come whine on the internet to justify my own actions? Is that about right?
nonky Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 This is why you should always shout, STRAVA...jeez, it's not hard.
Hairy Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Hold your horses .... is "hold your line" not a roadie term ...
