Quick general question I'd like to know: Once someone begins racing (i.e. Elite category), which website is used to show information such as their races, penalties, rider category, and specifically any points earned? I found it a few months back and now struggling to find it again. Thanks

Following my PB at the CTCT, my PPA seeding shot up to my best ever E. But what was interesting was that the Beta for the CTCT (1.07) made it theoretically more difficult than the Tour de PAA (1.05) Now every year I do these 2 races, which are 2 weeks apart. And every year I am +-30 minutes quicker in the CTCT than the Tour de PPA. Mostly same fitness, weight etc and from my wheather notes, also coincidently, very similar for the years I did both Now for me, the Tour de PPA is vastly more difficult than the CTCT. But from the winning times being simmilar, that appears not the case for the sharp end of the field. And that got me thinking, who determines BETA and with what rider in mind? For me: - The CTCT last 15km is a coast after Suikerbossie, whilst the Tour de PPA finishes with Adderly Street's mind numbing kilometers of uphill drag. The last 15-20% of the race is normally where the weekend warrior falls flat, thus an easier finish is always more welcome - The shear numbers of the CTCT means I can always find the next group when dropped, whilst the Tour de PPA often leaves you on your lonesome or with 2 or 3 other stragglers as you make your way to the finish. So for me it look very similar to golf's course ratings, that predominately considers the Pro's abilities, forgetting that crossing water 15 times a round is daunting for the hacker, even if the course is short. Long and short, I think the CTCT BETA is way overestimated, and I know I will be punished and very quickly on my own if I ride the next PPA fun ride from E.

Quick one, just want to check whether it is the same for everyone, in which case all is fair: On the Cycle Events/PPA seeding ladder I seem to have incurred penalties on all my results, is it just my profile or does everybody have this issue? Even on the 2017 947 CC, which is 3 weeks old, I have a 15 point penalty. Same for Amashova.

Hi guys and girls I am aiming for a sub 3:30 CTCT and one thing was to get into a better seeding group. I am satisfied that my current PPA seeding of G is good enough for this. My seeding is based on the Durbie Dash 2016, plus I have a sub 3 hours 96km Bonnievale still to be taken into account. I am also aiming to do 947 in under 3 hours. So with my prior year CTCT of 3:40 I think I will be in good stead. My question is, if I do the Stellenbosch cycle tour much slower will this affect my seeding for the CTCT. I want to help my wife a bit as she never has the luxury of group riding where she starts (S/T groups). An improvement in her seeding will also help her in the CTCT, especially for starting earlier. So I want to do a TT for her benefit. Also we have to ride a big race together at some point. Thanks for the help

My seeding index is 26.63 on the ASG wesite. What does that mean?
