I always try do 2 laps ..... You must appreciate the back and enjoy the views... its alot more fun than just seeing red, chewing the stem and sometimes catch a climps of the a black wheel in front of you..

You can actually take it away from the bank afterwords ... we in that process with my dads estate (The bank said due to covid deaths it will take them more than 2 years to wrap it up so we deciced to do it ourself). It is a REAL pita as you deal with govemunt and paperwork is always missing/wrong etc. The switch over process already been going about 6 months... ????

3:30 is fairly easy.. but seeing we not allow to race , its going to be bit different this year. if you start off anything in the 1's groups, you make easy. 2's giong be bit harder. The split time calculator is normally wrong as all depends on the winds of the day. might be fast start and slow end or vice versa. Morning windy fun ride????????. CTCT 2019 | Ride | Strava Very windy 3:19 My other rides are all around 3:10 or 4:30 . maybe someone else can share there 3:30's

Good luck with the folks..... been there.... I have no "raad" how to help on that one. I just stopped talking to mine ???? Make sure to show your wife some love each day.... even just that random weed flower you picked from the grass will help (well, does for me). I cannot even imagine what you guys are going through... but thinking of you in this time.

doubt will be allowed, or managable.. last group leaves at 9:08.. so that makes first lap of about 2:35 if you in @ . but guess noone will stop you to go for a scening lap after the race?

I would suggets Uber/Lift/didi .. might sound expensive, but cheaper than replacing your car now. . Yes I know its a pain to wait around, but you will at least have someone to help you load things into the car as well..

So double up those buffs... These 2 points going to be very interesting to get done. 1: Not sure where everyone going to be waiting before trying to load 300+ people within 10 minutes in the the shoot. 2: Need 900m2 per 3min start. (so max 5 shoots loaded at anyone time (15minutes waiting). so thats ~5000m2 of area needed . Usable Grand paraid area is only about 8000m2 and still need checkpoints waiting areas etc.. edit: after reading more 2: Need 900m2 per 5min start (on level 2) .. so thats 3 preloaded shoots max. .. might be able to get that fitted on parade. Also , 5min between batches , not 3min....

15000 entrants / ~56 groups -> ~255 per group

That index in the column is the "final" value, so it includes the 10 penalty already. If you go work out the "true" index, it would be 33.86 if their was no penalty. (the formula is in the paragraph).

they said they will send that out this week. guess once the rules are finalized on how to go about getting tested/not tested etc

log into http://seeding.cycletour.co.za/findme.aspx?ss=2&eid=2021 and check. they updated the allocations today. I have index of 36, and that gives 1C

they just said from registration on FB .. no idea where/what that entails as yet They still finalizing all the rules for events this week, so I you will have to "hang b@l" for a bit to find out

If you see 2 ladys behind a BMC you welcome to hook on. We aiming for about 4:30-5hrs so might be bit slow for you..

We starting in 5E for lekker social ride. so you wont be last on bikehub

go to Results (cycletour.co.za) (make sure url ends in 2021) . you will see it gets penalty . there is what is suppose to happen, and real world Unless you know something I don't...... I love the fact you cannot query you seeding anymore.. website is broken. (not trying to be negative, just pointing out reality)

I actually lodged complaint last year, their were so many crashes as bunched merged to quickly. 5 min makes it merge just after were thing get narroow (fishhoek?). Guess they again got told to get everyone off main road quick as possible

nope.. 10 points penalty. I also see they again forgot to reset the beta for CTCT 2020 to 1 , still on 0.89 .. (and all CTCT must be 1 as its the base events) I got seeded on 99er of 2020 . racetec really really really need to get there seeding sorted. but ja.... not topic for this thread.

How in the world did i get 1C Not done any racing since ctct last year…. glad im doing social ride this year….

yup .. i got my tracker installed already.. so not to fussed just the logistics behind proofing it etc going be nightmare..

so must be tested or vacinated ... mmmmmm

Electric wheel chair is @#$@#$ heavy...... How about those dodgy electric kids scooters? (the one you stand on) those fold up easy and should be able to manage weight wise. you might even get away with non electric one if had big wheels for moment

I see one can rent mobilty scooters for about R2k/month. Can we not crowed fund you few months rental?

Currentley my advice to everyone is.. get cheap lead acids.. they will last 1-3 years depending on how many cycles. then replace it with what ever is latest. things are changings so fast and pricing dropping so quick, might be better investment in long term. Also look at diybms.. you order the boards mostley premade , then have todo some soldering and works rather nice. I'm busy building my next laptop battery pack using that. only about 1kwh pack, so nice for testing.

you cannot mix lead/lith in same "pack". also, what BMS you going to use on the lith cells? if good bms and reputable cells they should last very long time. but normally best to just buy lith battery unit with nice bms and warranty Also, if 1 cell packs up after few years, you have to buy whole new set as the balancing going to be screwed up after each cycle and most BMS's won't be able to handle such big difference But ja.. in few years I doubt lead acid will still be option. lith is comming down in price so quickly...

Have you tried the distributors in Somerset West? I'll try find details again, always get very good service from them. never compaired pricing though This is the details I have of them, might have changed since last dealt with them Block F, The Grove, Old Paardevlei Road, Somerset West, 7130 Ph: 021 851 8536 / Fax: 021 852 0771 Website: www.ontrack.co.za edit: I emailed my normal contacts there, will see if they respond and edit the details if changed
