It seems to me there are too many GOM on this forum who will use any excuse to have a bitch about what often amounts to nothing and in many cases not support an event for what they are bitching about. Are those bitching just looking for an excuse because they couldn't be bothered to get off their backsides and put the effort in?
Words are powerful and what you write on this forum can offend and upset those precious few who are working their guts out in their own time to make this meeting happen. It is obvious to even the simplest of all of us that the intention behind these rules are sound and make good sense. Being a national title this event promises to be an event of a lifetime. Yes, I think this track and organising committee combined with the caliber of riders who plan to attend promises to be one of those events we will all look back on and cherish in our memories. Many of us are investing a lot of time and money to prepare for and attend this meeting, and I for one (and I am sure there are many who will agree) do not want to come up there and race a farce. The organisers have my full support and gratitude and I will do what ever they ask to attend a professionally run meeting.
As racers we are supposed to be proud of our grit, our determination, our resilience and our guts. Now some of you are prepared to bag this race we are so lucky to be part of because you have to fill out a bit more paperwork? Take a minute and listen to yourself!
