Glad they have a shorter distance to get the boyfriends into the sport while they wait for their partners to finish the main event. EDIT: Facts getting in the way here. Tiffany raced the day before.

Personally I would rather stay in CSA's good books as I am dreaming big haha I always thought it was only for non sanctioned road cycling events that your road cycling license prevents you from entering?

Nope a couple of mtb'ers got sanctioned for participating in the K2C event 3 or 4 years ago. The one that that stood out was a female mountain biker that I think refused to pay the fine and instead donated the equivalent of the fine to a SPCA or some other charity organization.

milky4130 Posted May 4, 2022 Share I've also not seen her on the race scene since, at least CSA sanctioned events that is. I believe this race i.e. K2C was targeted because of the refusal to pay the CSA Sanctioned/Day license fees and in turn increase the entry fee to the event. I'm pretty sure I've done a couple non CSA-Sanctioned events over the years without being penalized. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTB licensed riders sanctioned for doing non sanctioned MTB events is coherent with my theory of road riders (Sid) being barred from non sanctioned road events only but being free to ride MTB or gravel events of any nature... Not sure if it is the case, but your example is not a counter example to my theory. milky4130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sanctioning thing only applies to those holding a full racing license, ie elite and age categories that gain points. Not a general license/membership.
