So then provincials should be open to all? How do you then decide who from provincial gets to go to national?

They should just back to age based.

 

1. Having nationals open to who-ever has a big ego, huge wallet, and those with genuine talent makes a mockery of those with talent. Sort out the first two from the real athletes at provincial level and all should be sorted. CSA should go learn from athletics. Bigger provinces will have bigger bunches yip, but eligibility for participation can be based on seeding at races, heck even inter-club races (which has died a slow and horrid death) can be used for election to provincial champs

 

2. Two different license types with separate seeding (and eligibility) will obviously have some overlap. Get rid of it, and use a single seeding system (per discipline; road/MTB/track/downhill/MBX/4cross, whatever) for ALL cyclists, whether they see themselves a fun riders / amateur racers / fun racers / real pros / age category participants. This will lead to REAL strength vs strength participation.

I guess some of the doom prophets were proven wrong today.

Ride for Sight for those that dont know the race, is a toughie. Its 116 k's with plenty of climbing thrown in for some good measure. Certainly not an easy race. At least not for this fat ass.

 

A bunch started with the racing Tandems today and I believe that has something to do with the outcome although they were quite absent from the front at many stages during the race. Long story short. This was my fastest ever race. Unsure about the ave speed as my measuring unit wasn't on my bike, but its close to, if not over 42k/h. I finished in 2:43 and can truly say that it was a very very hard effort, with a 83% ave HR and a max of 96.6% :o :o :o

 

Grateful to have been able to manage this and its a huge confidence booster for Argus, and especially after last week. Good to see effort sometimes = results.

 

Excellent! :clap:

Thats a brilliant result!

Well done. well done to everyone that rode!
