Was all set to take part in a Sportive last Sunday, which I (and three mates) were very much looking forward to. However (as you know) it rained heavily on Sat night, and on arrival at the venue Sunday morn we were told ot was cancelled. It seems a river/stream burst its banks and flooded one part of the course (presumably a part tan was on both the 50 mile and 75 mile route). Disappointing but ultimately if its floaded, its floaded, its not their fault.
The informed us that we would be emailed in the week as to the “next step”. I assumed ac hoice of refund or credit fo ranother event. No.
We were emailed today to say that refunds were not on the cards (aparently in the T&Cs, fine) and that we had a choice of 3 events we could now transfer our credit to. This company has 31 road sportives next year. From March to December.
What do we have on offer to transfer to? Three of them, the first being in July. I entered this event in September. Therefore it will be a minimum of 10 months then that I am actually able to take part in an event that I have paid for, alternatively I can just forfeit the entry fee all together.
Am I right ot be extremely annoyed?
