And yes, a pity for the 9:30 crowd that they are now loosing out just because it gets difficult to police the rest .... I guess in 2E people will just be grateful for the opportunity to slip an ebike Further up ahead Johnny trying to win 1F might not appreciate the ebike pulling the group back to him after every attempted break-away 😅 throttles, ChrisF and Scary Rider 1 1 1

Have had it on a few occasions when I've started further to the back, some have been pretty rude about it.

Thing is anyone who have cycled at the back of the field or have done a second lap would know its impossible to do without being an inconsiderate ass to everyone around you Edited March 6, 2023 by Skubarra throttles, Scary Rider, Pieterlab1 and 1 other 4
Jbr Posted March 6, 2023 Posted March 6, 2023 Maybe those idiots should ride harder on the actual race. What a bunch of Ds 475 and Pieterlab1 2

Agreed, but me thinks they’ve given up on printing numbers at the expo and are only set up to transfer numbers. In 2023 this shouldn’t be a problem any longer. Maybe it’s just trying to create FOMO …?

It really should be a social lap .... but looking at the post race feedback of previous years it seems "some 2 lappers" were not playing nicely ..... Guess it is the age old story of the few spoiling it for the rest ....
