  1. I matriculated in 2002 and I am very sure I was still at school so could very well have been around then. I think it was 2 years.
  2. Ah ja I forgot about those. Flip i'm sure I was still a school lightie in those years. What years was it?
  3. They doing ou kaapse weg? I thought it was just to the end of the blue route and back? Like we did the year of the fires. An all out sprint for a hour 12 min for me. And yeah, hospital back into town was a toughie, we were on for like a sub 1 hour at that stage. That hill and all the corners in town made the last few km very slow.
  4. Bumping the spreadsheet for those that haven't put their details.
  5. Just got my seeding email. Confirmed the 1B showing on racetec. Was there a group spreadsheet posted on the chat? before I page back and look.
  6. Then marshal the troops so they understand the memo 😁
  7. Of course not. Same deal I have with all single bikes when I ride with them. Suck my wheel all you want on the flats and downs but if you don't help me on the hills, I will make sure I blast passed on the next decent fast and wide enough that you can't hook on.
  8. According to racetec, I’ll(well me and my toppie) will see you in that group. I haven’t received an official seeding mail yet……..
  9. Anyone in the above category received a seeding mail yet? I did ride for sight this weekend and got a WhatsApp this morning from an eagle eyed hubber that saw a seeding on my racetec profile. I am wondering if that seeding is accurate or if the official seeding in the email will be different?
  10. So I suppose it’s my own fault that I just assumed I would be in racing tandems. Got my start time and just thought they were starting a bit later this year. Then my toppie also said it seems very late. Late last night we checked all the start times and saw they had put us in social tandems!!!!!!!! Anyway, after the first km it was just us and 1 other tandem left and I wasn’t even really pushing that hard. Anyway we worked well together catching and passing riders from EL, DL, CL, BL and a handful of AL guys I assume must have had issues or badly seeded like us but in reverse. My legs were cooked so on that last climb before the carnival city turn we were not able to stay with them. Eventually finished about a min behind them in 3h14. 89% average HR!!!! I’m still happy with my time and it was good training before CTCT.
  11. This seeding thing has got me a bit confused. They said on social media that if you were racing ride for sight, you won’t have a seeding yet. So was checking results on racetec when we got home and saw a tandem pairing we rode most of the way with have a # seeding and right below it is their ride for sight result. Maybe they did a late entry at registration this week but otherwise I have no explanation.
  12. I’ll be there. Tandems. Really hope the weather is dry.
  13. Starting think my f5 button doesn’t work. Nothing yet for me🧐
  14. We staying here. In terms of being close by, its one of the closest and easily access able on race day. They still had space when I booked but that was about 3 weeks ago.
  15. Hmm so the Dischem ride for sight this weekend won’t officially count for 2023 CTCT, if I am understanding it all correctly. O well, I will wait to I get my seeding before I start worrying about re seeding.
  16. I am so glad contra-rotating props never "took-off". Man they are so noisy, ground runs are not fun.
  17. I saw that, didn’t realise how slow the last part of the lap was. Eli must have been sprinting, maybe that’s why he was shaking his head. Thought she could have passed and won🤔
  18. Wow wow thank you Wva and Mvdp. What a race. Those 2 are just so damn good. Really wanted Wout to win but they left EVERYTHING out there. Just glad it was a clean hard race with no mechanicals to ruin the result. just saw now that there were actually other people in the race🤣.
  19. One of the local aviation pages I follow on IG had pics and vids of them and a few people asked the same question. The most common unconfirmed answer was that there is some meeting between us and the Russians very soon.
  20. As a matter of interest, why they cancel those specific categories? Is it because they the “pros” and certain requirements weren’t met? Can’t be just a racing license issue if there are still vets?
  21. I know the road conditions and the cancellation of some categories is a downer but I am just keen to race again. Last time was the race that frosty and his crew organise and as per usual that is always a success but I appreciate the organisers are at least trying to make it better for us. I don’t get a chance to race much anymore so need to be positive about the few races I do.
