Paulst12 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Glad to see this happening!! It's about time that a stance gets taken about this. For sure... as long as there was a break-away? gtr1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Monster Posted February 19, 2017 Share Absolute mayhem in AL with the short course riders, police woman in middle of the road, and then the tannie who had saucer plate eyes at the turn down hill towards stadium.In future the short course groups should start later to allow the racing bunches to be ahead of them where we merge.Involved in the crash at 111km, luckily never went down but had to dismount, and then chase the group down.Chip lost in the process. mecheng89 and BouncingBrain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotiringer Posted February 19, 2017 Share Sorry BMonster and the others I took out at 111km. Lapse of concentration and just too much mess all around and I think and clipped the wheel in front.

Blue Monster Posted February 19, 2017 Share They started around 8, how late do you expect them to start so that they completely miss all the long distance riders.I just found the group got very jittery weaving between the short distance riders.If I am not mistaken the Carnival City race delayed the short course riders for this very reason, and it worked.By the time we caught them we were a mix of VA, VB, VC riders, and less wind than normal made the speeds very high. mecheng89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristand Posted February 19, 2017 Share The section going past Carnival city was incredibly dangerous. On the one side you have the cones and then, while moving as hectic pace, you suddenly have a short distance rider in the middle of the lane you are all supposed to be riding in. Pretty sure I heard someone hit a cone and go down behind me at that spot in BL. mecheng89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cav' Posted February 19, 2017 Share Three crashes in AL, one looked bad. I don't know what went wrong everyone rode like a tool. Time was ok but like stated above it was chaos on the road. I didn't enjoy the race to be honest. (Macsteel and Emperors are the ones I'll do from now on) Edited February 19, 2017 by Cav' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cant cut it in lic group rather ride open seeded according to your ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted February 19, 2017 Share Saw no crashes but plenty of flats. Except for one large unmarked pothole on the R23 and the dozing metro officials outside the Carnival who allowed a car to turn across riders nearly causing a rider just ahead of me to T bone the car I found the marshaling and route good. Big up to the bike marshal on the R23 who rode next to our group ensuring we kept far left and orderly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
