Undoubtedly there's room for improvement and some people just don't pay any attention to publicity. This was the first time this has been organised and I'm sure the next one will be better merely by dint of the fact that lessons will have been learned. Lucille's 'sensible suggestions' just can't be applied to this race. Did you see the race? Do you realise the cyclists were on the course ALL day? It wasn't a case of a tight pack of riders merely causing the road to be closed for them to pass through as in France. And you can't 'disqualify' riders that aren't in a race. To open the roads to traffic while these riders are still returning to London would be carnage. Can you imagine the road rage from those drivers held up behind hundreds of bikes straddling the roads? There's really no comparison. The 'misery' I was referring you've misunderstood. If you care to reread, I was talking about the general obession in this forum for it to be a place to moan about every damn thing that upsets the daily routine. |
