sportiff groups are small(40-50) , sct they 100-150 before merging. Try stay at front (10-25th wheel), the surging mid/back of pack gonna kill you.

the groups ALL split up hells and most of time the big boys catch the skinny guys about 30km further. i just normally go full balls up hells (i truly suck on hills) and rest till T junction (all downhill) then help out till we catch rest of bunches then try recover and conserve energy for last three climbs.

My 1c sct last year was 1f at ctct. This year my index is worst with better start group in sct, so that why i guess 2a/b, if low ctct entry count maybe 1e/f. But ive often been proven wrong edit: notice now was 1a last time, was late for start so fell back to 1c. So 1a was 1f at ctct

it seems like its VERY small entry count or massive groups. Im 2 groups up with worst index... so to answer question, 1a will be more like 2a/b in ctct, depending on entry count and group sizes. ( looking at my results)

Yup

Seeding index gets penalties if 6 months or older events. So your sportiff should still have same index by ctct, It takes best imdex of all events

Got my email... eina.. its gonna hurt

On facebook they mentioned it should go out today

So for the people that done the proposed route in the past .... I don't have option, doing this on hard tail , but what tyres would you recommend.. Currently have 2.4 front/back to save my arse on long rides , pondering to go 2 on front to reduce resistance a bit and keep 2.4 on back for softness?

So ops normal

late entries till thursday

lot of people wait to enter till last minute not to waste money. Lots wont enter if looks windy or rainy.

make sure goes above 55 for few hours each week and be ok. your biggest saving on any geyser is insulation. Ours dropped 10-15 degrees overnight, now with insulation on all pipes and extra on geyser its down to about 3-5. normal commercial geysers use 2-3kwh per 24 hrs to just keep at temperature of I think 55 degrees water temp at 25 ambiant, its on the spec sheet. so thats R 120 per month just to water keep warm, not even usage.

we run washing machine, dishwasher, aircons, geyser all off solar/battery and our system is only 3kw. Its all in the design and when you use them.

subscribe to the news letter, site is useless Entries for the 2020 Western Cape Road and Time Trial Championships will be closing on Monday 6 January 2020 at midnight. Don't delay getting your entry confirmed. The Time Trial will take place on Saturday 11 January 2020 and the Road Race on Sunday 12 January 2020. https://www.wpcycling.com/event/western-cape-road-championships-2020/ edit: See no lates allowed.... will try find the list of next events, saw it somewhere

those are notorious for bad seeding results... maybe thats a good thing..... lets see what 2020 brings,

Seeding gonna be interesting this year........

From PPA facebookpage o well, was fun while it lasted. Sad to see all event disappear...

Had a quick chat to orginizers They said people complaint last time the routes was to difficult so they now brought in the 30km to cater for more people. The 60km is still same elevation as previous routes , but they reduced the 40km to 30km with less elevation Events are now more and more family oriented to get the families out and get them all to join for lekker ride together.

https://www.rgtcycling.com/pricing/ still show free option, or am I missing something obvious?

its not part of ctct anymore, so will only be on ppa sites. No one have spare money at moment.... so lot of us are only doing bucket events or events close by and free/cheap so hope there enough entries and not get cancelled

Zwift is R2500 per year, maybe consider one of free apps and spend money on a better trainer

They should actually have communal braai till say 1-2am for those who need some warm food.... or someone should organize one

This is not a Personal attack, just general note... , Can we not drag another thread of topic , no one bothers to read threads if content is never same as topic.

Last time I managed to fill my bottle on each lap at the water station, it takes only few seconds ... its the food and coffee part.... nothing like a nice hot mocha to boost your mood... and you never know what you going to crave after few hours, so pre making food always risky.
