My what a stinky mess this has turned into. My original message was in no way critizing the effort that was put forth= by the students that put this race together. People make mistakes and for t= he first race of the season, everything did go smooth. What I don't agree w= ith was the manner in which this mistake was downplayed. My original message= was intended to be half humorous or I wouldn't have had any :) in it. This i= s the beginner class and if it happens to any class, let it be us. We are not = in it for money and in all honesty this class is intended for learning. As the= 20 of us hiked back up the hill with bike in hand, we were all joking about = how we got more ride for the money. It really wasn't that big of a deal. I had a great time and didn't leave= upset about the ride. Everyone standing talking about how they were goin= g to 'take care of us' is what was frustrating because you can't undo a mistak= e like that. The magic i was referring to was intended to once again be humorous because there is no way to fix it except to refund the entry fee= =2E If this is how excited everyone gets about constructive critisism and poi= nting out when someone downplays a mistake then I am in the wrong sport. All I= intended was to point out that more people where affected then what was originally stated. Maybe an apology to the huge oversite on the staffs b= ehalf and an explanation of why it happened would have been in order. I know o= ne thing absolutely, the riders that went down that path were not happy and = it certainly wasn't their fault it happened. That shouldn't be downplayed. = = Yes, they did an amazing job. No questions about it. A mistake was made= - no harm done. Live and learn but dont brush it off as though it never happe= ned or it will happen again.
