MSC Spring Classic - dissapointed

[NotSoBigBen]

Dunno - my el cheapo Sigma aint got no lap option and didn't bother to look when I finished the first lap! Felt faster, OK so that's scientific!

[AndreZA]

did you go faster or slower on your second lap?

 

8 minutes slower.

 

 

[bored girl]

shows you.....I was about 10min faster as there were fewer obstructions on the rd

[Cruxpearl]

Was faster on 2d lap too

[nicholasr]

i dunno what all you people are complianing about' date=' the only thing that ever counts in the race is the feeling of joy when you cross the finish line, knowing that you gave it your best.

 So what if it was expensive. if it was, you shouldnt enter. who cares about water bottle and T-shirts, even though they were nice, thats not what makes the race.

 

what can you actually buy with R120 that is that satisfying?

 

even though i took forever to finish, i will do it again, with or without the bottle's and T-Shirts.

Hey Crux - one of these days hopefully I'll actually meet you at a race!

[Thug]

I was almost 2 minutes slower on the second lap.

 

I got caught on the single track behind slower riders on the second lap and virtually had to muscle my way through the crowds contemplating the drop off as well.

 

haha, I shouted to them "rider coming through and yes , it is rideable" before I went down it and vanished in the tunnel.

Spider pig, spider pig, Does whatever a spider pig does, can he swing from a web.... no he cant , hes a pig! lookout here comes spider pig!

But he can sure ride hard! Well done wigga, you rode hard! alot of dust... gggggggg, Twah! but the beer managed to wash it all down ...

[Merida Mad]

Anyone know where I can find results for this race?

[nicholasr]

should be on entrytime.co.za But they not posted on there yet... i checked this morning...

I can handle most of the issues that surround an event of this magnitude' date=' even the chaos experienced on the frist lap.

I just have a problem with the cheap ass key ring, instead of a medal.

Did you get a podium finish?

 

 

 

This finishers medal thing is something that I cannot understand.

 

It is not a particular achievement to finish any fun ride. Are medals

not supposed to be for an achievement? Do all the finishers at the

olympics get a medal? As far as I know medals are for the first three.

 

 

 

And then people complain if there is no medal or if they do not like the medal offered???

 

Best medal I got at one of the funrides is a bottle opener!

 

 

 

Personally I never take a medal at the fun rides. I have made enough

key rings out of the medals that I did keep to last me a life time -

you only have so many keys.

 

What am I suppose to do with the rest? Display in my "medal case" to show off my achievements?

 

 

 

I ride my bike because I enjoy it. Not to get a medal...

 

 

 

[Merida Mad]

Will check it out, thanks

[Hammie]

I have to agree with the nasty plastic key ring...my man bought his home yesterday and thought "rip off" The question is: Do we bin it or does it go in the shoebox with the rest of the medals?

[dirtrider]

Well done on your hundred of medals ! have you seen the look on that laaities face who rode his single speed for 20km and got a medal even though he came last ? If you don't like the medal or it takes up precious space in your house do like Loin Man and don't take it .

[nicholasr]

was my first tour de' farm I had a crash in the tunnel , it was so dark and i temporarily lost my orientation, managed to hit the wall was pretty funny! But you had to have seen it

[dirtrider]

would have loved to see that . The sudden entry into the tunnel did cause a lot of riders some scary moments !
