Yesterday I came the long way...Guys from the CMWC:<br /><br />Yesterday I came the long way to the Keirin track only to be refused to ride on my road bike there. How should I know when there is nothing written about this on the web site before I registered - and I registered for this event only. Ah, I should have read this in the "rule book", was given as explanation. But I got the rulebook only AFTER I registered and paid, and it is also written in the rule book that I don't get my money back AFTER I register. So it's catch 21 in the end.<br /><br />Ah, I should have known that it is not allowed in Japan to race with road bikes on keirin tracks. Sorry, but this is not true. I am training with my road bike on the Kawasaki bank with the Kawasaki Pista club; I have raced in August on the Omiya track with the JCRC on my road bike. And the Matsudo track is open 3 to 4 times a year for beginners with road bikes. <br /><br />But OK, I asked one of my friends to ride out with his track bike to the Keio Kaku track. Now it was refused because it had no drop handles but a bullhorn. Then it was OK, as long as I participate only in the time trial. Then it was refused again with the explanation that bike inspection has closed 2 hours ago.<br /><br />I was also asked that I could borrowed a bike from some of the othe riders who are all very friendly. And they were friendly - but not to a degree that they would borrow me their bike.<br /><br />Summary: 9.000 Yen spend on a t-shirt and met a lot of unfriendly and unsympathic people.<br /><br />I would like to single out "Gogo" who was probaly the most unhelpful person I happened to meet yesterday.<br /><br />"I hope to have a good time with the messenger (sic!) from around the world through CMWC Tokyo."<br /><br />That is what "Gogo" writes in the red welcome booklet. Well, his idea of him having a good time is giving other people a hard time. Otherwise only empty words.<br /><br />It seems like everybody is young, flexible, open and easy going. But when it comes to a point where really some flexibility is required, than people like "Gogo" behave as flexible as officials from the immigration office: "Sorry, this is the rule. No expections will be made." It makes me sad to see that some young Japanese behave exactly as their grandfathers in this respect.<br /><br />Think about it, "Gogo".<br /><br />"Thank you and let's enjopy CMWC together!"<br /><br />I didn't.mobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15740078823008165116noreply@blogger.com
