ShortLegs

Pop quiz peeps...... go run a 1/2, full or utlra marathon. Guess who part of your entry fee is submitted to?

http://www.cyclingsa.com/news-and-press/2015/2/17/reintroduction-of-uci-rule-12019-forbidden-races So basically if you ride the Argus, you can't ride Epic or any other CSA/UCI race for a month and have to pay a fine. I wonder if Cav and Renshaw will be suspended!!! Didn't work in the states... http://velonews.competitor.com/2014/02/news/usa-cycling-welcomes-suspension-of-forbidden-races-rule_316189 http://velonews.competitor.com/2013/04/mtb/opinion-uci-forbidden-race-rule-is-unworkable-for-north-american-mountain-bike-racing_281274

Likely an invite for all A/B riders..... Note sure about the logic although comms and bike marshals that actually do their job will be a nice change from the norm. Kinda like a league... now there's an idea

Group of 80 on a tight 1.4 circuit that transitions from road to pavement and back is a concern. I also remember some nasty water drainage grills under the Helen Suzman roundabout.

Very little chance of you forgetting anyone unless they newbies!!! Especially if they haven't paid up from years ago.......

Hell yes ????

Anyone in Montague Gardens?

Midge/Sharon always notify early via sms and here if it's called off. Looks iffy most of today but no heavy rain clouds or storm blowing in yet. I'm going through regardless ????

Rain gone away, going to be an epic nights racing as normal..... Been a long winter ????

Just to reiterate Short != Shortt No relation, zero connection.

Yip

Gotta click on your route and ensure the url is your route. Also make sure you've made it visible to everyone Like this one [ http://www.mapmyride.com/za/rosebank-western-cape/99er-2012-route-62765660 Edit: looks like you sorted it out

Nope try again...

Just plotting the route.... Down Strand and onto Liesbeek Parkway through to Muizenberg

I'm in to give Woolfie some support/flak....

Cool thanks for the replies and the links to the other threads. I'll get a Wolf chainring to replace my whole double spider and leave the normal medium cage derailleur for now. I'll feed back on how the upgrade goes and more importantly how she rides. I would like a 40/41 tooth top gear tho for the really step bits

My 2x10 chainrings are shot so a 1x10 seems like the most cost effective way forward right given the type of riding I do!? My dilemma being my rear derailleur is NOT a type-2 so can I get away with it or do I need the type-2 derailleur? Anyone converted to a 1x10 with a similar setup? I'm running 11-36 cassette BTW Advice appreciated or point me to the thread where this had been discussed to death I couldn't find any. Muchos gracias amigos

why not put up a support race with some/all the entry money towards prize money...?? Certain way to get spectators/interest... just an idea

Anyone got the route? Would be nice to plot and see what we're in for.....

They confirmed out email addys on the line I too went a long way round to get the times

Makes 2 of us.... I'm not waiting for you and pacing the whole way like Sunday dude..... You just going to have to bite the bullet and get off the front and win!!

You shouldn't talk about Wicker like that!!!

Seriously?!?! This topic had been flogged to death. They will likely never get rolling road closures so guess what, elites like everyone else will have to abide. SV's have also been DQ'd in the past. "If" a truck/car took out half the bunch I'm sure the fact the other half would have survived to make the transgression worth it right!!! When a few riders violate and its safe to do then the comms will warn possibly. But if its a large portion of the bunch then in the interest of safety they should continue to disqualify the bunch in violation.

I wonder how 3 other large racing groups could have possibly done it without breaking the rule its a conspiracy against the poor elites I tell you

Lift....you joking right!? Its a short 30km warmup dude, you need to borrow a can of htfu from LambChop and get with the program
