xcou Posted November 21, 2010 Share It's advertised as 50km, the guy makes a special announcement in race briefing, "it's not 50km, it's 53km and....it's actually 48km, nice going 94.7.

scotty Posted November 21, 2010 Share It evens out if you did the MTB yesterday and road race today, one was 3km short, one was 3 km longer. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/90086-947-50km-mtb/#findComment-1227662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel XTR Posted November 21, 2010 Share So What? Most races have a few k margin of error. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/90086-947-50km-mtb/#findComment-1227681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zula Posted November 21, 2010 Share At parys island dirtmax its advertised as 60k's, i clocked 48k's! When we asked the organiser he just shrugged his shoulders. A k or two makes no difference. 12k's on the other hand irritates me! Also remember the lines you take make a difference.

Shoee, what a clever guy you are. Point is, if they go to all the trouble of giving you the exact distance, you wouldn;t expect it to be out by 6kms would you? P.S. I would have preferred it to be longer, if anything, big guy. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/90086-947-50km-mtb/#findComment-1227898 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChainSuck Posted November 22, 2010 Share BML - perhaps you should take a look at your computer setup! I clocked 51km on mine.Also, stop whinging bud - how many races have you done where the actual race and advertised distances are identical!!??

Depends on the lines you take when subtracting. Missed both races due to a combination of the flu, Zamaleks and Jared Leto being awesome.

RudoJ Posted November 22, 2010 Share Well BMl, you are indeed spoily for choice as Dangle said, so PLEASE dont do it again next year.NONE of the races I di this year was the exact distance as quoted, but what the heck, I get to ride in places I've never seen, get to meet new people sharing my love of the MTB, and I get to appreciate what God gave us humans. So next time when you feel like wetting your panties, go do it some place else Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/90086-947-50km-mtb/#findComment-1227922 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude you big softie!!! @ Dangle I think the only fair way to sort out the big boys would be a boxing match behind the bike shed after school or in the park but no later than 2pm.
