    They mentioned something about this before the race started. It was along the lines of, "if you don't make the cutoff times then you're on your own." They weren't sweeping the course or anything like that, it was more about having a recognized time on the finishers list.

    I'm pretty used to no one being around when I finish an event. Would be bummed to not get a finish time though. If they're charging hundreds of euros that's the least they could do. Maybe I just need to train a little before signing up : )

    Wouldn’t it be pretty easy to figure out your time at a race like this since the clock is always running? Simple subtraction really.

    The photo of your bike with the stars is poster worthy. Seriously envious of you guys that understand photography and have the patience to stop and take the shot

    Sure. But that's not the point. Maybe I wasn't clear, but was referring to someone finishing after the organizer's arbitrary time limit and getting listed as a DNF despite actually riding the whole route. People want to talk about gatekeeping, there you have it.
