It annoyed me a lot. The "electrical connector" that I was supposed to get the color of was on the street sign, but the street sign was next to an electrical utility pole. So, I am spending most of my time looking at the utility pole trying to figure out what the electrical connector is. Eventually I suddenly realized that nobody would put a light green zip tie around the street sign for no purpose, so perhaps that was it? I took some photos and continued.
But the RBA has a tough thankless job, so she never found out how annoyed I was. I politely asked if she was referring to the zip tie? And thanked her for organizing the brevet.
Some riders DNFed that day, I did not. So it ended as a good day for me.
