I'd guess that having the finish at the top was an organizational challenge, where the newer finish is next to an open field where organizers are set up for medals, medics, announcer etc.

Missed the Slent turnoff and the finish is wrong?

I have the Neo1 and Kickr4, the wife and I like to IDT together. Wahoo support is excellent locally. I assume that with Garmin SA taking over Tacx support that experience should also improve, but Wahoo is still on another level that Garmin can't touch. Having said that... The Neo is superior. I used to have a more balanced opinion, but no longer. For the Kickr doing spindowns can become a pain and it definitely has more ANT+ dropouts than the Neo. Basically you have to run BLE or your data will have many gaps. The Neo suffers no such issues. The Neo is fire and forget, the Kickr just isn't quite there. I end up having my wife's bike on the Neo because she'll never need to troubleshoot anything. I have to "fiddle" (spindowns, unpairing and reconnecting) with the Kickr often. IDT should be simpler! Go for the Neo. Worth the extra cost.

Also went down in that crash. The first fall happened about three bikes in front of me, do you have any idea what went wrong? It was on a straight and wide road! Regardless, 10/10 to Paarl Rotary Club. Especially for not succumbing to pressure to increase the field size. Excellent event

Flat route, they should be able to stay away

Good observation, sunrise is at precisely 6:05am tomorrow Visibility should be totally fine at 6am flat though

I'm also sub vet at 34yo and this has happened a couple of times before. We're outside the top sub vets while the Racing Ladies, Vet Men and Master Men aren't enough to fill %, so we get to fill those spots instead of falling to 1A where we belong.

Thanks! She'll be happy to hear she's a Racing Lady now

I'm in %. My PPA seeding index is 16.98 at the moment, so more or less expected. My wife is also seeded in %, with a PPA seeding index of 28.44. That is not quite expected. Is it because % is also the ladies racing batch like it was at Durbie Dash? https://pedalpower.org.za/seeding/

Yes the Neo works well through a power failure, however make sure you have something to power your fan. I lasted maybe 10 minutes before I had to get off from overheating.

Enlighten those of us who didn't hear the tale? Were they from the same team?

Astute observation re Takealot sponsorship! ASG perhaps didn't think this one through. For what it's worth, I grabbed one of those very early entries and that was in fact a better price than this deal.

I doubt that has even been determined yet. Last year they completely scrapped the amateur team competition the day before the race started. Edit: For what it's worth, I recall we always started in four groups 10 minutes apart. Pros Men under 50 Men over 50 Women There were separate leader's jerseys for each age category, so in the "men under 50" batch we had three yellow jerseys at any given time. If there is an amateur team competition this year I guess it changes everything.

Exactly, but if everyone's index values increased proportionately it makes no difference as it's purely about your value relative to the next guy. Edit: Sort of a "if all children are special, none of them are" kind of reasoning

Racetec seedings are still a dog's breakfast. One Tonner results are also still a mess. 105 people with unknown starting times that need sorting. 947 seeding was meant to be out by now. Give it another week, they have a lot to sort out!

Not updated yet. Given that more than a third of participants have invalid results, they may be holding off on running it.

Having difficulty finding your bleak forecast? Windguru for Malmesbury looks very tame.

2018 start groups: A B C Tandems D-E F-G H-I J-L M-Z This will differ depending on how many people do the race, if there are more participants we'll be split into more groups. Likely more groups this year as the teams competition is gone and the weather forecast looks good. You can check your seeding here https://pedalpower.org.za/seeding/

So if a deal is agreed on, but next moment one party disappears and the transaction doesn't happen? OR the buyer makes an offer, the seller accepts, then the buyer tries to go lower? I'd think neutral rating with thorough explanation for both of these, but not certain what the forum rules say.
