yer, go on ..... if you ride it with no front brake I might not get DFL

I'm sure someone will pull out Rusty mid ride

Nah mate - DNFs and FCOs don''t count because the rider didn't finish ... DFL is all about being the last finisher.

It is an artform on races where they have cut-offs. Ya have to hit the checkpoints with seconds to spare and look like you can make it - if you are late and think they might pull you, ya have to come around the corner up on the pegs peddling flat-out and yell that you had a breakage, but are making up time. Of course, that doesn't work if the sag wagon is attached to your rear wheel like it is on a bungee :blush:

Sandbag Race Rusty?
Find a bunch of people to race at the other end of the field.
