Feels like there will be huge buildups on the road?
As far as I remember always been 30 seconds, slowest first. but have to go dig through mails if you really need confirmation
only place ever issue is suurbraak if there oncoming traffic. rest is no problem
1 hour ago, TheDogShow said:Maybe a bit of a change in direction but I'm eager to know why the 947 doesn't attract as much discussion and interest as the CTCT. I live in jhb and do both races annually but for some reason, there just seems much less interest and excitement about 947. Post about CTCT and you get 10 replies within 5mins while there is very little going on on the 947 thread.
Is it just the history and legacy of CTCT?
how many guys from Slaapstad travel up to Gangster's Paradise for the 947?
Well, the one is the Aurgust , other is just a number.

I do know that it will be very personal and specific, so if it's an uncool request, please say so.

Common guys, I know one of you must have a contact somewhere!
Nothing on Dreamvacs.com? i see many lodges in mpumalanga ? sorry, i'm not very well informated where what is in that part of the world.
I have dream vacation points that just get wasted each year..
go to www.dreamvacs.com ., check if there anywhere you would like.. the midweek rates is 1/4 of the full week points. I have about 4000 points. , should cover most of the places for midweek brake.
So if you can find somehwere you would like to go. let me know. i'll book it..

Far less people.. fitness way down (no racing etc) .
Even the fact that I was 1 group up with 10 worst Index points show normal "fast guys" did not enter.
Racetec put us in 5F start group.. although were where 5E .
At least our official time is 2 minutes faster that we actually did now ????????
Edit: oo.. there is no 5E .. proably wait for final results

I was pushing wifey up Suikerbossie and gentleman asked me , would you like 2 min rest.. i'm like.. hel, im stuffed, go for it. Then I saw he was on e-bike and I just chirped, "now I don't feel guilty for accepting assistance."
My wife waited about 15 minutes , maybe 50 for me at the top (well, ,that how long suikerbossie felt) , that guy took of like a rocket , .. Thanks to whomever you are .. definitely much appreciated !

3 minutes ago, Shebeen said:i was in that group, didn't have the 10min buffer though! started with the many 1D and 1E people in 2D in the end. It was a bit of a mess, but i doubt they'll ever do this system again.
as for the crashes, i think this is the first time I've done it without seeing a single crash. Would be interesting to see the official stats but i reckon it could be 60/70% down on normal amounts. I guess the main reason was the lack of big groups and congestion. The usual entry limit normally only sees 32k start and about 30k finish. but that hasn't happened for a few years anyway.
if you look at provisional stats, we had 15k entry limit and 11k finishers. that's way down
What I find interesting is that they said they had 18k entries at end of the day... so that means 6k entries did not finish..
Think is once again someone not able to count ????
The E shute was still stuff up at 5E .. we were 20 minutes early and almost got stopped. they people even pulled the ropes "through" us.. properly pathetic, but did not expect anything else.
We manged our goal though,, get my wifey over the line (her first and last). We all actually said how nice was with so few people on road, no agro shouting, no crashes (except for one guy not making corner, hope he ok). And of course cuold not ask for any better weather!

Cois,
your story made me bite the bullet and go for proper checkup 2 days ago after again seeing touch of blood.. ended in hospital today getting piles removed, was lucky, could have been worst.
guys, make sure to just go for checkup, ja, its a PIA but cancer is worst . A colonoscopy can pick up issues very early (years) before things turn bad.
