Re: 2014 Tour de DHBC competition

Are there extra points for yesterday if your pave was wet and muddy? Or if Coward St was flooded (again).
I'm assuming you are referring to Wednesday. It's up to you to determine if conditions warranted the cobblestone conditions and hence the 3rd point

Contact CNSW and get it corrected.

It's not obvious when you go to the entry page, I'm sure you won't be the only person entered the wrong event
