GoLefty!! Posted February 23, 2015 Share the easiest solution is for the UCI to re-issue the date of implementation for this rule. they probably introduced thinking the Northern Hemisphere season only really get going in March so no problem. Meanwhile on a beach on the Cape Peninsula... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLuvsMtb Posted February 23, 2015 Share I am aware that there is an issue if you have a full racing license. We have however entered and paid prior to this bomb being dropped. The question is still: who will refund us the entry fee, now that we are no longer allowed to race without being penalised?I'll gladly refund your entry fee if you promise to shove a stick up the next CSA representative you meet's arse and while doing it tell him that you are merely returning the favour.

PJP2013 Posted February 23, 2015 Share As you know you have choices. ride, don't ride. there may be a consequence, there may not be a consequence. I suspect this will be determined by how many riders need to be banned. If Bernard Hinault was in the ride I know what he would do... at the end of the day what are consequences and unintended consequences.what is the value of the one month ban besides the CHF50-100? and then ask yourself do you like being a puppet and who is the puppet master. and is that puppet master worth supporting that's irony for you.. I am sure you will be familiar will the below quote off the Pedal Power website especially the bold points. PPA is the only "event organiser" that I have come across where you need to be a member to get seeding. So join them or start at the back no matter how fast you may be. Then if you improve you can get reseeded at a cost. Who's pulling the strings now? QuoteMembership benefits include:PPA members pay discounted entry fees for events on the PPA calendar,PPA members receive a seeded funride number to use at PPA events,PPA members wearing seeded numbers start in front of non-members,PPA pays Racetec to time PPA members who wear their transponders at PPA events so that all PPA members are guaranteed to receive a result (provided you wear your transponder),PPA members receive a weekly email newsletter with event information,PPA members can ride certain MTB trails at a discounted fee,PPA members receive various discountsunquote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubehunter Posted February 23, 2015 Share Maybe I should have explained the irony? What's ironic is that non members of the PPA can gladly participate in ANY of the PPA events! Many do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 23, 2015 Share What's ironic is that non members of the PPA can gladly participate in ANY of the PPA events! Many do!And that the seeding (in MTB events) largely does away with the congestion you get in races when riders seed themselves according to how they think they ride.

GLuvsMtb Posted February 23, 2015 Share Maybe I should have explained the irony?and for Comrades and Two Oceans you have to qualify to take part, even though it is not a national championship, but a fun-run. What exactly is your point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLuvsMtb Posted February 23, 2015 Share Ok. So as per Facebook this thread an be closed?Not really. I am waiting to see what the deal is. Are CSA going to get their grubby paws on money they should not be getting? What collaboration will there be in future? What is expected from the parties in future? Will CSA get their fingers out of their buts and start earning the trust of the cycling community? It sounds more like a seize-fire than a peace treaty.
