Spinnekop Posted March 10, 2016 Share One day I'm also going to get me a crusade ...... Don't. It is frustrating to see my sport (road cycling) dying because of a dinosaur attitude of managing it. It is the 21st century. You want to grow the sport.Make it easier for people. Not harder. I am pissed because I WANT to race but not willing to jump through 2 gazillion hoops (50 000 is okay) just to do so. So they lose my support. Lets see if I can get my money out of them. That should be a better crusade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSA must take ownership of the sport. 1) One number on your licence/membership = your permanent event number. 2) One timing chip issued by CSA. Any company allowed to time providing their equipment can read the chip. 3) No more number collection. Event organisers can scan entrants into the starting area to check that they have in fact entered. 4) Organisers to feed results back to CSA who can then maintain a seeding ladder. Bicycle science - not rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bicycle science - not rocket science. I found a dusty brass lamp in my attic last night. Rubbed it, and out pops a genie that looks like Robin Williams. He grants me a single wish. Since I travel to CT regularly I ask for a dual carriage highway (Autobahn style) from my house, bypassing Beaufort-West, straight into Stellies. The genie blushes and said that's a bit much - so since he could not fulfil my wish, I can have another go. I ask him for a properly functioning CSA. (and ASG events company) Trembling with fear, he asks me if the Autobahn can have 3 lanes both ways..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchelicious Posted March 10, 2016 Share Imagine we could get a class action type case going to get our CSA membership fees back due to non-delivery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2wieltjies Posted March 10, 2016 Share just collected my number, there will be photo finish, NO timing chip. On Sunday we are doing laps (5x 22km) with a manual time keeping system. Am I the only one that find that bit strange? ( p.s. have you seen the staff cars that are park there, holy crap I am in the wrong business LMAO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( p.s. have you seen the staff cars that are park there, holy crap I am in the wrong business LMAO)Manual timing if fine.You only have to catch the top 3.The rest does not matter. Provincials and all. Sadly I won't be going. Can't pickup the number today or Saturday. So be it. I won't support them in future and will advise my club to do the same.You don't need them anymore for SA's. So why the fuss and why I am unhappy I don't know.......O wait. They have R250 of mine which they don't deserve. $_$)# FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RastaMan Posted March 10, 2016 Share well at the TOGH the manual time system was better than what "great timing" wereand we are still waiting for those results to be corrected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
