  • Comments: During check in a volunteer made me adjust the aero bar to conform to race rules. He said it had to do with "non draft racing" but I have never heard of an aero bar length regulation or the aero bar having anything to do with drafting. This caught me off guard. I was annoyed, pinched my finger (very painfully) and scratched my wrist trying to adjust the aero bar quickly (the bar was very tight.) Berlin was very unorganized. The original date was June and was changed only two weeks before the event. This alone is reason for this event not to be taken seriously. I did it because it was a sprint and I live here. But I would NOT recommend it for anybody unless they live near Berlin, schedule it as a B or C race, and don't expect ANYTHING. The race is disorganized. The volunteers are dry and are not really helpful. They also yell a lot - for what reason I don't know. You don't need to yell and/or be a dick when giving participants and spectators instructions.
