Rock Guy Posted February 2, 2016 Share I am so tired of hearing the same old excuses time after time, and then the same thing happens again and again. FFS, they used to get it right so they know how. It is so sad to see it going down the toilet like the rest of South Africa. Is Advendurance being run by the ANC?!?! As much as I know everyone would love to vent their political frustrations, I think it's best we keep the posts about the quality of races. In any case, if race organizers were run by any political party we would never have complained about races. Chiefly because the races we all wanted would only have been promised and never actually taken place. The other races would have only been published in the government gazzette, which no one reads, and therefore would have only served as meal tickets for government officials. karlito, Skubarra, raptor-22 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough that is a very valid point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlvN Posted February 2, 2016 Share Perspective. A simple word you only really appreciate from a very distant place. Like the DRC, for example.. While you guys and gals were out having a bore of a jol, and some others were doing endo's and fynbos-trashing, whilst yet others were taking short cuts to the medical tent, I was sitting in a foreign land amongst foreign people speaking foreign. I was simply dreaming of riding my bike. I swear, I would even have taken a 30klip ride into a raging Cape So'easter. But alas, it was not to be. So the only remedy for me is to read all about the rest of yous experience. Sounds like it was more of a miss than a hit, and sure, I reckon that Advendurance could have done things better. All their promising and posing helps not without results ( both in terms of improvement, and surprise surprise, actual RESULTS...) I digress, I will continue sweating it out here in the jungle, while y'all can carry on complaining about getting to ride your bikes in the fairest cape...again!

Silly beers Posted February 2, 2016 Share Just so you all know. Contrary to Frits' response. Results are not up. I called SASeeding after sending a unanswered mail. The lady was frustrated by my questioning of when results would be posted?After her explanation that a Wynand is the only one who can answer... he told her this coming Friday...We are forced to pay extra for these boards and timing. In this day and age to say electronic system takes 6 days to post??? Makes me distrust all involved here. Its such a dissapointment when we the customers get taken advantage of. Truth is best way to report. Lexx, Meezo, SCD and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth is best way to report.Does it really matter if you came in 300th? 800th? 1100th? Eleventy-Seven-One-million-Zero-and-4th? I guess on Friday somebody will start a "Result Fail: Meerenblahblahblah" thread. Ai. KarlvN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess on Friday somebody will start a "Result Fail: Meerenblahblahblah" thread. Ai.Thats not really the point. The point is we paid for fancy pants boards to record results, were promised results up latest close of day yesterday and now Friday.Had they said Friday from the start ppl would be less miffed Meezo, Silly beers, KarlvN and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly beers Posted February 2, 2016 Share Maybe not for you. But for most of us. I assure you if they make it a non result event the turnout will be less. Also if the result was no not needed we can be charged less...Whole idea is to develop a seeding that has viable uses. Godzilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
