PPA H seeding is about 2a - 2d (wild guess) you can also try : Take you seeding index, say 30 .. take the 30% 'th seeded start group and will give you indication as well. .. so 30% of 50 seeded groups.. so 15th start group -> 1M->2A We spot checked this on , and give you about 5 start group range this could also be complete hogwash

But 99er before that has less penalty (6) .. I give up on this

Sucks when you were able todo only 1 race due to injuries and thats not on official seeding list .. 5 penalty points.. o well, there goes sub 3. Edit: Either that or they penalize by date of event, not current date

I simply tell them, If you dont' wanna work, go sit in the @#$ back . Seems to work normally. Granted.. i'm normally very "vocal" when I get tired and don't really feel a @#%#$ about others think of me then.

Can't read it .. need to pay

Still don't get why they don't provide more urinals .. 90% of time its a number 1. And 10 urinals must be cheaper to rent than 10 toilets?

Problem with current index system is that you only get penalized about 7-8 months later and then its normally 1-2 points So all the one tonner speed freeks will still be in wrong bunches for short sharp races for a while, at least a year. I was thinking last night again that they must limit how quickly you can climb up the indexes.. either as said last time, you earn points and each time you hit 100 you go up a index, or you can only go up one/two groups per race you do. so you have todo at least 12 races to get to high seeding and by that time you might know how to ride in a bunch.

They did same nonsense at argus, neutral zone till where ever and time only start then, but reality is your time starts when group leaves the starting line...

I'm also 1a, but will be falling back to ~1D as still recovering from stupid injury, so no racing..

Webinar last night and 2.2 All teams competing for podium positions and prize money should note that the regulations of Cycling South Africa and the UCI will apply for the Coronation Double Century. If you are in any doubt on any aspect of these regulations, please contact either Cycling South Africa or your provincial cycling body.

All neutral zones/feeding zones same as last year. Speed bump after finish, so be carefull if sprint finish. Free team photo after event . The one before event you pay for. Free socks/water bottle/rear rechargeable light 2 bags of ice allowed and road works on way to Swellendam so allow in your travel time

Yes

Valid calendar year (expire 31 dec), add cost to join accredited cycling club, and then no more fun rides.

Anyone know how many teams there was last year and was start times also 30 seconds apart last year? (having elderly moment now)

First thing if you get bitten ( higly unlikley as snakes hates wasting venim) is to make cup of coffee.. You going todo more harm rushing (crash bike etc) than what venom is going todo in that 5-10 minutes. Then get hold emergency people Here local Helderberg snake people advice http://helderbergsnakes.wixsite.com/helderbergsnakes/snakebite

Confirmed with orginisers, can do three days at R900 but dont get timing overall and no medal

nope .. changed since last year .. each race you get seeding sticker to put on your yearly number

Seeding just came out, its normally released a few days after the event .. Next PPA event you get your latest seeding as per PPA site WCE: Beta of 0.62 .. and I still improved my seeding index by 1.5 from CTCT time, same group still though (Just) … next time go for the sprint finish Interesting .. winner time not adjusted much, 01:55:26 .. only 2 minutes

Guess about PPA group of W-X .. basicly finish any seeding event and be ok

I don't do the essay thing .. but was something like : Froze, hid behind people from cold, died up a hill, got frustrated with slow pace in middle, tried to make few pulls but dropped bunch each time , gave up, sucked some wheel. Died up another hill, got myself at front of bunch in last 1km , kept myself out of the bunch sprint and finished with good time

Start one up

http://audaxsa.co.za/schedule/ . There was one this Saturday in cpt

First time not getting dropped from starting bunch , first top 100, first top 10 bunch finish.. probably cannor complain, but bloody hell, it was freezing❄️❄️

Only if you ppa member and new one each year
