Loyal followers of FUCCIT might know I was the main organizer of last year’s AMS-RBX-PRS ride. I won’t take all the credits, coz I had the help of some other guys. I did put a shitload of time and effort in organizing the trip. I was jobless at the time, so I had all the time in the world to put into this project I and Keng were the creators of. The trip was far from perfect, but hey, it was the first time for me to organize a group ride for a 20+ person group. Keeping that in mind, I think I/we did a pretty good job. During the trip and after, I was open to receive any criticism people had about my organizing qualities. 
But besides my route planning skills, I didn’t get any direct criticism.

Here starts the ugly part… 
Two of my fellow organizers, T.B. and J.S., and of one the riders, H.C. decided to found an organisation called Plus31 for the 2011 edition of the trip, without contacting me. (Or Keng, but I don’t wanna drag any other people into this discussion).
Without contacting me, they decided the 2011 edition will be going from Amsterdam to Copenhagen…
Ok, cool. Never been there, so why not.
At that moment I gave notice of the fact I felt kinda left out of my own idea by those two guys founding an organisation without me knowing about it and them deciding where the 2011 edition would ride to.
If it was up to me, we would have gone to Paris again, stopping at the finish of the 2011 Paris – Roubaix along the way. But after a long talk to both T.B. and H.C. they told me, I would get more involved into the Plus31 organisation. I got a full-time job these days, so sharing the load of organisation of such a big event wouldn’t be a bad idea. Since that talk in September 2010, I didn’t hear shit about the whole project. Both T.B. and H.C. told me they’ld contact me for the next Plus31 meeting. Again, never heard shit.

Till a few days ago… Via via I heard they were in an advanced stadium of the organisation of the Amsterdam – Copenhagen ride.
Thank you guys for involving me! The least you could have done was having the guts to tell me in my face that you wanna do the event without my help. I still would have been angry, but at least you would have shown some class, balls or guts.
I guess it’s the lack of that class / balls/ guts that’s pissing me off even more than the disrespect you’re showing.

So good luck raping MY concept.

As you might have guessed, I won’t be showing up for the ride, or even wanna be remotely involved in anything that has to do with the 2011 trip.
I can’t speak for the other FUCCIT posters, but I can say you won’t read a single post about the 2011 event or any side projects / events written by me here on FUCCIT.

To all the FUCCIT readers, good luck finding info about it on any other fixed blog. But if you’re thinking about joining them, now you know what kind of back stabbers the organizers are…

Sincerely yours,

Votske

Update for Tjeerd:

I guess I feel about the same as this girl will be feeling in a minute:

This is their journey.

Critical Film – A documentary about a very special weekend of cyclo cross racing. It only took 126 km of dirt, gravel and cobblestones devided in 4 stages between Dresden and Leipzig, 80 racers, 9 hours, 35°C, 600 liters of water, a ton of food, a world cup quarterfinal and many many enthusiastic souls, to make this an unbelievable experience.

They call it “CRITICAL DIRT – A study in crossification”.

e r t z u i ° film has captured this event along the dirt with our very own perspective.

The guys that brought you Fixed City, now have a new project going on, Critical Dirt, and it looks amazing! I still have to see the Fixed City Doc, as I just found out, I only posted the Berlin premiere vid last year. I might try to get both movies to come to Arnhem for the AMS-RBX-PRS premiere!
