Does Cyclelab's seeding work on positions aot your race times relative to the winner's time? Road : http://www.cyclelab.co.za/seeding.asp For each event an individual race index is calculated. Your race index is your time as a percentage of the winner's time. The lower your seeding index, the better! To be included in the ranking table, we need a minimum of three results. If the cyclist has more than three results, we take the best (lowest) three. The overall seeding calculated for a cyclist is the arithmetic average of the three seeding indices used, these are current races, once twelve (12) months have past and you do not have three races you will no longer be ranked until you have three or more races again. We calculate: Overall position for all cyclists in the ladder. Position in gender (male or female) for all cyclists in the ladder. Category position by gender for cyclists in the ladder. For a list of categories click here Super Seeding Ladder Criteria: Any race will be used provided it falls into the set criteria. The race must be 90km or longer. The race must be Chip Timed. The race must have a minimum of 850 finishers or at least 2 of the professional teams (min. 5 riders per team) participating in the event. The details of each rider must accompany the time especially the ID no. Results will be added 1 month after completion of the race. (Providing the data is correct). Races will be taken off the SSL as soon as the next year?s event has been loaded (or a year has past), except for the Cape Argus Pick 'n Pay Cycle Tour results that will stay on for two seasons. In the event of a race not meeting the above criteria, the race may still be added at the custodian?s discretion. If there are no professional teams at a race, a "winning time" will be calculated according to the average of the winners from a selection of the previous years major races. The above rule will also apply to races where the elites race a different distance.

Thanks Trubie, lets see if the road riding is going to help me survive the joberg2c next week .... :-)

Same guy I assume ? Shaun Oakes?s Summary I've been involved with the internet since as far as I can remember, due to the fact that I don't have a good memory (I keep forgetting my parents' names) but also because I've been exposed to the online world since the 90's. I'm pretty jacked up when it comes to Search Engines and the processes involved in achieving good rankings. I'm also a fairly decent writer, and I've been told that I'm quite a formidable force on the dancefloor. Shaun Oakes?s Specialties: My specialties would include the following - strong analytical skills, the ability to tell if someone is lying, vast seo knowledge, impeccable link building expertise, incredibly charming. I could also juggle at one point, but sadly this ability has deserted me.

(These are in no specific order) Shaun Oakes?s Groups: Mmm, I was once part of a biker gang, but they kicked me out when they realised I didn't own a bike.

On further investigation Shaun Oakes is a fictitious character winding everyone up. Surely a real person can't be so dumb?

All I can say is for someone who has never cycled on the road or offroad to make comments like these " "As a professional sport I don?t respect it because it?s something you can easily and effectively do whist sitting down, so how hard can that really be? It?s a bit like sitting on your couch playing Tekken 6, and claiming to be an elite athlete. The Tour De France is arguably the dullest television spectacle ever conceived, and is something I will forever hold against the French. When it comes to cycling, there is no real skill involved, you pretty much just sit on your seat, and then pedal like crazy. It all comes down to your level of fitness and how defined your calf muscles are. I?m pretty sure there are many silicon-boobed Constantia moms at the Virgin Active spinning class who could probably win the Pick n Pay Argus Cycle Tour or even the Tour De France, given half the chance. " Can only be a chop ! -

Don't assume eveyryone is a "roadie" .... I think there is only one person here with his head where the sun don't shine.... I think some of the comments have been very humerous...

Yourself ....why are brands like Assos so expensive ...? .... good point! :-)

If manufactured in Europe and it carries a duty then the supplier should indicate on the invoice that it is made in EU or supply an EUR 1 certificate to qualify for a reduced rate of duty over here. A further saving :-)

Hi Jackie, The Interclub races were very well organised and great fun, unfortunately I missed the final one as the flu got me. Are you going to be getting in suggestions for another round next year ? I think we should re look at the point system to encourage proper racing yet also include a system for aspiring cyclists perhaps have a A, B and C group, If you place in the C group then you have to move up to the B group etc ? I am sure there are lots of ideas but I think the current point system doesn't encourage all the clubs to participate, these race are not about time but rather racing for places and to handicap on time doesn't always work ? Thanks for all your efforts this year, as I say the Interclub races were great fun even if it was impossible to pick up points for coming 1st 2nd or 3rd in the race.

In some cases it may be "poeple" :-)
