Will there be batch results?
22 minutes ago, ACE Cycles said:Just checked, the A Batch peleton did a 2h29 on the previous route and a 2h39 on the new route
Are you checking the A riders times that you know of?
As I know the batch results were not as previously on Racetec as it currently is with Finishtime.

Out of interest, how much "slower" are the times on the "new" route than the route of 2019? (If at all)
Depending on your level of fitness of course, IMO, roughly 5mins slower on this route. (If you're going just under sub3). The extra km's do make a slight difference.
I take this based on my previous results and results of friends on a similar fitness level.
On the 2019 route I managed 2:54 from C group.
Last year was 2:55 from A group, with slightly better fitness
Hope this helps.
Might be a silly question but will the Ride Joburg seeding have an effect on other races? I don't find any place to view the latest 2021 race version's seeding index.
The few extra km from the previous routes, made it just that extra bit more difficult to achieve target times.
First part of the race nice and fast to get a rythm going only to watch the avg dwindle with all those hills after halfway.
Overall, with less number of participants the organisation went well.
Seeding riders should definitely be checked up on though.
I'd also really like to look at the batch results as we could do with the old racetec results.
This event results won't be on the racetec page as with the previous years?
How scary will the A bunch be in wet weather?

Tad bit early, especially with Prayer times.
Was hoping there was another group to ride with decent numbers..
Are there any groups which ride slightly 'later', at around 520am?
Why am I busy checking the wind from 3 days out from the event?

2021 Ride Joburg - Bikehub seeding list
Add your name under the relevant starting group (Select a sheet at the bottom if your group is not on the first page). Maybe add your total number completed in brackets behind your name so @JJDT can tally up the totals ????
Maybe we can use this to form Bikehub pelotons ????
I'm a bit too technically unable to edit the sheet. Tried on three devices.
A group (5th)

Thanks for the info. The way I planned was a harder ride two weeks before Tshwane, as that was also two weeks out from Ride Joburg.
This weekend, either doing a small crit or going to SBR

Elevation gain doesn't seem too bad with that distance. Just hope Au'GUST' is over by then with all those open roads
15 minutes ago, Vetplant said:Officially on the website, route map also reflects 111km. As good a confirmation we can have right now methinks.
Elevation gain?
I see it's now back to 111km. Any1 know if this is confirmed?

Any chance this Sunday has a ride with 32ish avg? Keen to join a ride near East Rand
How does one edit or delete a review done for a hubber?
Any route profile for the 92km route in a months time?
I think you’re miscalculating the times. The Racetec times are correct and haven’t been altered - it includes our stoppage time.
I finished 32 seconds behind the winner and my ‘moving time’ was only 2:02. My total time with all the stopping was about 2:08 on my garmin.
So our theoretical total time with TJ and the 5km we missed would only be about 2:18 (Same as VA roughly)
Always gonna be difficult taking an estimated guess on what would have been..
But take the stoppages into account and a closer guestimate would probably be 2:10ish for the full route

Anyone know what time the B group (front end) did last year? Pity we can't check on finishtime.
