Unsportsmanlike behaviour
by Jon Lucas, 06 Jun 02.
The Gorrick 10 was a celebratory charity event to mark our 10 years of organising mountain bike events. Unfortunately we have received a letter of complaint from a member of the public regarding an incident that took place between his family and a cyclist in the area of Rapley Lake between 11am and 12.
This is a very rare occurrence, and we wholly condemn the use of abusive language together with aggressive behaviour which is a clear breach of the Rules of Racing.
Unfortunately this sort of incident damages the reputation of mountain biking, and could jeopardise the use of local land. It may be that theriders involved were not part of the event, but we need to know for sure. If you know anything about what happened, and who was involved, then please e-mail the details to the Club so that we can take the appropriate action. Many thanks.
