Re: Calling ALL UK RIDERS

"That's silly though. You're just describing a natural trials
competition. Muni is about more than just technical riding skills."

Chill Winston...
Do not jump to conclusions, if you ask all would be revealed.  

What I was describing was not 'a natural trials comp', but something
much more.  As far as I am aware, trials comps are not over a continual
distance of for example 5 miles but split into staged obstacles.

As Joe Baxter said when he went off topic:
"Instead of people saying who they think is the best rider(s) we should
have a good competition some time. "

Joe Marshall said:
"You're not measuring endurance, speed, smoothness and flow, ability to
drink pints, uphill strength, ability to ride in the rain without
whinging all the time, or any of the other that are a part of being a
good muni rider. "

Joe, do you believe you cannot design a competition that tests for
almost all of those things, (perhaps even the ability to ride in the
rain that you appear to value so much).

As regards, what percentage of riders read this forum, where do these
brilliant riders hang out when on line then?  The UUU forum does not
exactly seem to be buzzing at present.

However, dont get too carried away... if you think either a forum based
vote or taking part in a muni competition is silly - please feel free to
not take part.
