There is a sanctioned race and people unlike yourself like to compete against one another. You cause risk by ignoring the rules you said you would obey. it's not about who is better and who is worse. it's all about safety. you cause risk. If a race group was disrupting a ride group I would side with the riders. If a break is causing risk then the break is at fault. Your immature comments makes you not me look like an ass. What are you mentally 15?
If leaving earlier in the day is the only way you can cheat the rules to makes hells gate, then you can't do the century based on the rules of that organized ride. See that's why people do smaller rides. And because you want to rights to say you did a century? then earn it and train properly or if you are physically unable then a century is not for you, at least the organized HHH ride. Nothing stops you from doing the course next week and stopping in burk and other places for fuel. I rode the HHH on solo centuries three times last year prior to HHH it brought my time down so much and I SPUN those miles. SPINNING I averaged 15-16 and finished well enough to make hells gate. So man either own up to the 60k or shut up the insults. You'll cause a wreck and then blame others for you lack of wisdom. If this keeps up eventually they will either eliminate same day ride and race or do away with the race which will cause the ride to eventually loose revenue. You work against the ride not for it which only illustrates the nature of your attitude as a whole. Selfish, narrow minded and ignorant.
