 Photos | Video: Cat 4/5 Lap 1 (first 2 mins) - full lap from RhindleLAK Strava | Results | My CX History An Open Letter to the Race Officials and NBX I commend the 2015 NBX G.P. of Cross for its excellent Saturday Dec 5 course. The decision (collectively by NBX and the race officials) to withhold much of this excellence from nearly a third of today's racers baffles me, however. The men's Cat 4/5 and women's Cat 4 racers paid the full registration fee. We knew in advance that we'd be given the undesirable 8am and 8:45am starting times (for the men coming down from the Boston area, this meant a 5am wake-up). We knew in advance that we'd be shortchanged with 30 instead of 45 minute races. These shortcomings notwithstanding, the men's Cat 4/5 field maxed out with 160 pre-registrants. What we didn't know was that we wouldn't get to race the full course. What we didn't know was that lead lap racers would be pulled despite their not interfering in any way with the race leaders. That's unacceptable treatment. So, a request for next year. Keep the Cat 4/5 men at 8am if you must. Start at 7:45a if that's what it takes to give us a full 45 minute race. But give us and our female counterparts a full 45 minute race on the full course. After all, we're your best customers. Respectfully, Jeff Dieffenbach |
