As Amoryn says, 'lordporthcrawl' you can't be serious? *shake my head*

I am assuming you have been involved with race organisation? More than once I have heard of 'land owners' refusing permission (previously given I might add) at the last minute ........ I know the ones around Walkerville as we train there almost every weekend and damn they can be cranky

It's because you ride like a hooligan and scare the cows ;-)
In this case I don't think 'lordporthcrawl' should feel to done in...I know the organisers and they definitly had to change the route at very short notice - not their fault really...

It's understandable that they had to change the route, however it will be helpful to announce at the start that the route is now 10 km shorter.

Apparently they did.

God, we're getting more Americanized every day.
Say how much we enjoyed the event, then in the same breathe mention the possibility of legal action.

Enjoyed the race and was glad to see the finish line...BUT.....

If I pay for a 60 km event and it ends up being 51.9 kms then am I entitled to feel like I've been shafted somewhere along the way ?

Anyone know if the Consumer Protection Act could be enforced against event organisers who do not fulfil the advertised distance for events ? Seems to me this is becoming a common occurrence.

Some kind of a sliding formula, for each meter short you get % entry fee back, if the route is longer than advertised you pay in the diffs or don't get a medal/results

This could be a new pricing model for all the bike parks - only pay for the distance you ride.
Or,
You can have a race, where you have a winner for each unique distance that is raced (rounded to the nearest km), you get to choose the distance by taking shortcuts or extra tracks, but if you do not win for that category, your race fee doubles.
