Time to say goodbye

Written by Team Crazy Downhillers at 20:55 17/2-2014

  After more than 3,5 years it has come to an end. For the last few seasons I haven’t had much passion with the game. The real life has been pushing more and more, and the time and energy for OCM has decreased more and more. Since I tonight have had to realize that I won’t get to Germany Tour this season either, I thought it was time to say goodbye. I would rather do this up here in the higher rankings than seeing the team fading slowly but surely down the rankings before taking the decision. It is also about time to give the spot to some new and more interested guys in the field, instead of “old” me who can hang up here just because of all the money I have invested in the team throughout time – not because I spend much time on scheduling the upcoming races, DP, RS, etc.
  
  This game has given me so much fun since halfway through 2010. I have been able to chat with many cycling loving guys over the time, and I have gathered some nice “friends” around. No game has such a nice community as this game, and if I had to mention all of you who I have loved chatting with, I would be finished somewhere tomorrow writing all of your team names down. I know you guys all know who you are, and I can only say thanks to you for giving this game that extra bit of awesomeness.
  
  Also a special thanks to Nick. I hope you read this, because you have no idea how nice it has been playing your “little game”. The game is not too big nor too small. It can fit everyone and we all have fun with it. It does not demand 2 hours of playing every single day to get to the top, but it still demands some thinking and planning – a challenge that everyone have the time for if they want. And it’s even free with no “extra benefits if you pay!”-type of thing. I can only say a big thank you to that!
  
  I am only happy that I can leave as one of the better team in the games history. Twice winner of Race of The Minutemen, three times winner of Volta ao Porto, winner of all three top division climbing classics, etc. I think the team has gotten its name through. I am only sad to see that Germany Tour never was claimed. I have been close so many times, but I just don’t have the lust for the game to I can get up in the necessary rankings and get that (damn) jersey.. I guess nobody’s perfect anyway.

  you should buy 2 29k riders and then release your 3 trained riders. Because their RV is still pretty high atm, but if you just gonna keep them it will get lower every season. This way you will have +-200k extra if/when you would come back. Oh and also, I like your training-rides updates on twitter hahaha
