Me. 10 minutes from my home and a FREE MTB Race, what's not to love. Registration was supposed to be today and tomorrow but they had issues with the number boards, so registration will only be friday and the day of the race. 

 

Kudos to them for sending sms's to warn the entrants about the issues with the boards beforehand. Some organisers of events can learn from this. We don't mind when issues pop up, just keep us informed. Well done

 

Edit: Words (Only having my second cup of coffee now, things will run smoother as the day progress)

Been in the queue for number collection for an hour now, seems to take about 5 minutes to help a customer in this past hour.

 

Some feedback on why this is taking so long would be nice.
