  1. He has not. But I suspect the seeding is a batch task rather than set up to be automatically processed on entry. Maybe give them a call to confirm?
  2. There's an Enter Here link on the home page. A friend entered last night. That's all I know.
  3. Not sure on your situation but entries appear to still be open which might be an easier/ cheaper route.
  4. "The substitute participant will be issued a new number in the start group for which he/she qualifies." https://www.capetowncycletour.com/lifecycle-week/ctct/race-entries/substitutions/
  5. Hi Derek, It might be worthwhile placing an advert in the classifieds here: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/category/93-accommodation-tours/
  6. I've got the glum look down. The latest results part could be the sticking point.
  7. It would seem that even the Cyclosportif this coming weekend is a seeding event: "For cyclists, there’s still an opportunity to improve their Cape Town Cycle Tour seeding by entering the upcoming PPA Sportive on 17 February. The second in the eight-event PPA Sportive Series Sportive is being held at the Windmeul Cellar and, with just one big climb, is the perfect event to set a time that will bump riders further up the Cycle Tour starting groups." Doesn't seeding come out this week though?
  8. I made it up with a very similar ratio 34x32. It's not ideal but I did not need to walk.
  9. Have you tried: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/category/114-vintage-bikes-components/ But ya, Nils is the expert.
  10. Worst case, when it's a stand-alone WP race, you can usually ride the course on the morning of the race before the sprogs and nippers kick off.
  11. As a spectator, there was some exciting racing to watch in all the categories. Thanks for putting on a good show everyone
  12. That's disappointing news. It is the only significant A-Line on the course. What is the chance that the elite women might come up against some congestion with the back markers from the other categories that they are sharing the course with? Maybe they should get their own race like the men? There are riders who haven't ridden the B-line and now they need race it blind. I suppose that's why you go to briefings
  13. I'll be around if you'd like someone to pass you a bottle during the race.
  14. Sounds like a good model. Canyon South Africa are pushing for an inclusive single price and apparently, it is in the works with Canyon international.
  15. The Blue Route is open again after the fire. https://facebook.com/BottelaryHillsConservancyMTB/posts/2095490930496963
  16. The women are currently racing the Koksijde World Cup with the men starting at 4pm. SuperSport 5 for those with access.

  18. The organisers were pretty clear on their focus going in. "In 2018 the elite women will compete in the Chardonnay event, which takes place from the 26th to the 28th of October, without any elite men or competitive Mixed category athletes on the start line. This means they will have the sole attention of the media and race entirely without interference." https://www.bikehub.co.za/features/_/news/mtb/sa-mtb/first-dedicated-elite-womens-wines2whales-race-boasts-strong-field-r7571

  20. They will be a real thing well before next year's race. And the length will probably not be to Slowbee's liking
  21. Ewald's report is out: https://www.bikehub.co.za/features/_/articles/ride-reports/ewc-round-3-jonkershoek-r7576
  22. Nicholas Potts at the bottom had no chance.

  24. Does anyone have a link to the story? I can't find it on the SAIDS site. Taken down? I'd prefer not to spread news without a source.
