Knysna road race discriminating against mtb!

[Mamil]

Bah!!! Thor I will have to resort to abusing my privileged position as event photographer to show you in uncompromising light in compromising positions!

 

 

I'm not the one with Thor Elbows... #justsaying

Finally, after a few years of searching, I've found sanity on the hub. Well done both of you.

 

And Knysna organising committee for making the insufferable buggers pay their fair share for all the "I did a sub 3 on knobblies" that invariably follow a race where mountain bikes are allowed amongst those of us who have the decency to bring the right kit to the race.

Conditions are perfect. SpankyMonkey can join us.

I'm in.... providing I can do it on mtb...

You in?

????????????

Lets stop F ing about. It's all about aperture and i won't hesitate to use it to bokeh things up.

I think they are onto something, I bet the Argus will be onto this next year  

 

What if I want to do the MTB event on my road bike?

Probably?? 'Merida' and 'I dream' are clearly meant to be anagrams.

[Mamil]

Ok but as Leo pointed out he doesn't have a camelbak so the comparison isn't a fair one.

 

Also, the way he was smiling while sliding along on his backside suggests that he may not be fully neurotypical which bestows further advantage.

 

I love my merida ... i dream ... i like that.

POINT OF ORDER

 

Back to the topic. 

 

I have just phoned the organizers, and they claimed that this is not a final "rule" and that they are waiting for the final say from CSA. 

 

So it is not the KCT, but CSA that is discriminating.

I have never spoken about Fight Club

On second thoughts R30 is a bit too low for unleashing a bunch of mountain bikers on the good folk of Sedgefield and Karatara and their roads.

 

I think they are using CSA name in vain, it's the organisers prerogative to charge more but there might be resistance from lack of category entries. After all, 109kms without any single track or dropoffs is sure to be dead boring for guys who usually stop at every summit and after every descent and take a few minutes at the eat all you can water points.
