  1. Biggest issue is to manage the Central DB of numbers. But ASA doing it now online for 6? years. We build the system those days and not touched it again. +- 120k users now and just works. Think biggest issue is that the provinces/clubs have to manged the allocation of numbers so cyclist will need to join a club (like runners) before getting number
  2. Overhydration and dehydration have very similar symptoms But overhydration is not very easy to achieve, unless there something else wrong (heart/liver/kidney etc) How much where you drinking, should be +- 1 bottle per hour? Edit: also, what is in the water you drinking?
  3. I asked same thing then asked inside people Its at Uitkyk farm, search for Arra on google. from route maps we finish bit more north, so assume cycle back to start again
  4. Late entries on friday still availble
  5. anyone know here the start is . Website don't have info
  6. I was/is in fortunate position to have owned series 2 and 3 landrovers and currenlty own 40-50 year old vehicles as my daily drivers.. You learn that driving at 80km/h only piss of other people, you get to your destination relaxed and on time (just leave bit earlier). There really no need to rush; if you are late, you're late, live with it. There is nothing so important that you have to drive like maniac and kill someone else..
  7. I did it from 1g 06:33:30 in 2016 and first round of 3:11. I had time to spare
  8. Simple : I did 2 laps last time it because goes to charity and this time i'm doing it as it was damn lot of fun todo second lap. The first lap I have no clue what i'm doing, i just see black/red/white/stars also, I don't stop on first lap .. so 2nd lap I make sure I stop at all points and eat myself silly
  9. Battery probably went flat
  10. Sheezz .. they seriously adjusted the winning time, from 2:39:16 to 02:27:58 .. thats 12 minutes... The winner only getting index of ~9
  11. Do the one tonner .. beta normally high so easy to up seeding.
  12. Also in %. Most bizarre race in long time.. Pace was everywhere, often my heart rate was in recovery zone then in red then back recovery.. Fell off bunch at last hill, got caught just before end by few A riders. I almost got taken out twice (actually touched wheels) , people simply dont look and chnage lanes. Amazing that there was not more crashes. And apologies for my rude language , I lost it a bit at one point.
  13. Mental note: don't post before had morning coffee
  14. The front bunches is bit of different "setup" and you will not ever be auto seeded into there, race office must do it "manually" Best is to get hold of race office and explain to them, maybe use the query my race seeding button. They normally reply to all emails (if not marked as spam) , if you don't get response within 2-3 days, give them call . You might have to show your ICU UCI (or equivalant) racing license etc etc Edit: coffee laps
  15. YR still showing rain we need rain .. (and I need easy ride)
  16. 1B 06:29 ​going be killer, been off the bike more than on the last 2 months so fitness definetly fallen. At least got 2.5 weeks left to kill myself before semi taper
  17. From last 2 events: "You have qualified to ride the Cape Town Cycle Tour twice based on your seeding index being approximately 29 or better. ​" I just made it in 2016 from 1G, you need to be back before last group goes. Riders must arrive back at the start for their second lap no later than 09h50
  18. Is it on the official race seeding list ? (all the WC sporiffs have 5 penalty as well as not official seeding event)
  19. B sounds right then. First 90km is flatish, so just suck wheel and save energy for the last 2 bumps
  20. Seeding on racetec as well got same start as last year even with better seeding, interesting Edit: Smoking my socks ​
  21. I was A with ~19 seeding last year so if you seeding ~20 should be B-ish i think
  22. hehe .. true. but to being a optimist I'm trying to find better gear ratio for fixie so long.
  23. Last 3 years emails went out only after 4pm .. so just have to be patient f5 f5 f5 f5
