Subject: RE: Guelph Lake III'm peeved! I drove up from Oakville, unloaded all my gear and went to the transition when I hear the Race Director say there are no disc wheels allowed. Guess what? I just installed my aero-disc cover this week. I spoke to the RD for a second and he confirmed it. OK - I pack up and throw my bike and gear back into the van. Then I go down the hill to collect my T-shirt and swag... That's when I find out that a disc wheel is OK as long as you sign some additional waivers. Its now 10 minutes to start. No chance of running back to get my gear, set & suited up, etc. WTH! Everyone knew it was gonig to be cold and windy today, yet Trisport never sent any info on what the potential concequances / restrictions may be. And then the communication over the loudspeaker was misleading - the announcement was that "Disc wheels are not allowed" - no mention of the waivers. So I spent $70, drove 250km round trip, and wasted a Saturday morning with little to show for it. Grrrrrr..... OK, I'm done venting. I'm doing the MSC Lakeside Oly in two weeks, It can only go better. P.S. (venting back on ) - This year's T-shirt sucks. The last two years were great (the 2008 brown and 2009 black ) - but this years white shirt will immideatly be relagated to pyjama or bike cleaning duty. |
