Slowbee Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 ok, newbie to cycling, but what on earth is the story with licences? and as a matter of political correctness, who are PPA, compared to CGC and CSA ?
Christopher Brunsdon Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Even though I'm a newbee, this issue with licences put me off getting one this year. I plan do enough events to warrant one vs paying extra for not having it. BTW, from when to when are they valid - Month wise
Slowbee Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Cbrun, as I understand the license is only for racing classes ?
Gracie Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Groot Lem, maybe you should explain your words: "This way it is not easy for money to dissapear? ".. ofcourse there will be more income from licenses, this is the first year that all cyclists have been forced to license. Just how stupid do you think we are? Maybe you must also keep a check on your wild accusations.
Slowbee Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 As an outsider I presume that Gracie and Groot Lem know each other ?
Ricycle Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Yeah apart from the Lems all I can remember about CSA officials is that they are far more important than the riders... Intern! I hope you're generalising there!! You know I have NO reason to be at cycling events other than the love of the sport - I have no living personal connection to the sport any more, I just happened to have been born into it and I do what I can to help. For example, SA track champs - my flight was paid for but I stayed quite a way from the track and had to hire a car - at my own expense - for six days so that I could get from the airport, attend meetings, officiate at the champs and get back to the airport to get back to the job I took two and a half days unpaid leave from so that I could work at the champs.Most of my weekends are taken up with cycling. We do get paid a small fee for road races but that is not why I do it. I am not complaining, it's my choice, but I really do do it for the love of the sport and I do believe that most of the time my efforts are appreciated - I stay out of the politics and I do my job to the best of my ability and with a whole lot of passion and commitment, but I do get kinda offended at being pigeon-holed with "the officials" - sadly this tends to be the case most of the time though...
Skye Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 As an outsider I presume that Gracie and Groot Lem know each other ? From what I can gather (and believe me, you don't need to be a rocket scientist) Gracie has got a personal issue with Groot Lem. Gracie take your dirty laundry else where, or have the balls to contact Groot Lem directly and sort your gripe out with him. Not on a public forum!!. Skye2009-04-16 13:35:17

epoh Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 I have known the Lemmers my entire life and can only say the following; The chickens will come home to roost as they are not what they pretend to be... the next few months will be a interesting "ride" for them. You are a nobody!
Underachiever Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 With WiFi' date=' plenty people do a lot of work out of a coffee shop. The office mentality is outdated for most jobs these days.[/quote'] For sales people maybe? Senior managers in my company work from their offices 95% of the time, WITH their teams, demonstating the necessary leadership behaviours to ensure sustainable business results. BTW, I work for a global company, not one with a turnover of < R10mm.
fandacious Posted April 17, 2009 Author Posted April 17, 2009 Rumour has it that CSA are investigating allegations that groot lem drank beer while at SA's...oh God no!! not beer! crucify him!
scotty Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Dont particulary care where CSA work from or how they look as long as they get the job done, which sadly IMO and speaking from my personal experience and interactions with CSA officials on the ground has been poor.
KlapperKnop Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 As an outsider I presume that Gracie and Groot Lem know each other ? NO ... Gracie knows Groot Lem ... Groot Lem knows Gracie in person not as Gracie on the HUB!
