Pure Savage Posted April 20, 2018 Share Any prize money or is this just an excel sheet competition? :-) There is a floating trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odinson Posted April 20, 2018 Share Smash the children in the short race! No don't. That is a jerk move. A hard faught second place against your peers beats and easy win against beginners hands down. When I was riding seriously as a 20something year old I was away in a 2 "man" break with a youngster at some or other church race in the middle of nowhere. That youngster rode his heart out and attacked me on the last climb. I could have easily chased him down (he was 16ish) but I didn't. The look on his and his folks faces at the end proved I made the right decision. Ha! And folks want to complain about 'entitled millennials' who just want everything gifted to them. Wins are to be earned, not gifted. #pitywin Eldron, The Ghost, GSG and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalahari Vegmot Posted April 20, 2018 Share The problem with this story is context-the lack thereof. Didn't you also start that 'advice on a cneating spouse thread'? Pure Savage and thisismyotherbike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackster Posted April 20, 2018 Share Maybe a SLIGHT edit in that Half distances give prizes to U/18 and U16 etc Thank you. This is where the problem lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux26 Posted April 20, 2018 Share I once saw a 30 something year old standing on the podium next to 2 little lighties because he "beat" them at the 20km race and collected a prize. He looked a bit silly standing up there next to the 2 kids.I once saw a 30 something year old guy beat a 12 year old girl by about 4 seconds in a 20km race, to take first place. For about a year after that he kept reminding all his friends on Facebook that he had won a race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jacques Posted April 20, 2018 Share If there is a shorter road distance the MTB comes out to play and my mission is to stick with the front guys as long as I can even attempting to sprint for 6th or 7th place... MTB races do the long route and take a serving of cement ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted April 20, 2018 Share Reminds me of the incident where at the SA's Mighty Mouse for a bit more competition wanted to race at age category below his. Riders in the age category he wanted to compete in protested and moaned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmJayZA Posted April 20, 2018 Share These events can be won by anyone? Why are there no classifications into age groups? I don't believe in backing down in competition, but it seems a bit silly to be competing against kids. Hackster and Patchelicious 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease_Monkey Posted April 20, 2018 Share Simple. If you can legaly race in said distance (ie: right age group, bike, etc), and you can win, then win. If you step aside for someone else to win they aren't really winning are they? I'm speaking from a place of not being competitive at any level, but sure wouldn't feel like I won a race if everyone in front of me slowed down or did not compete to "give me a crack at it".
