MariusL Posted July 28, 2011 Share Wanna swop, I got an E Surely I cant be an E seeding, hhhmmm or maybe I am?? Now you can't stalk me like you do in all the rides But in all seriousness - you will probably catch up with me, I haven't been on the mtb in a while (8 months) due to other small commitments (like IM ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American Flyers Posted July 28, 2011 Share I wonder if PPA got confused with seedings! It sounds like strong riders will start at back and weak riders start at the front.Maybe they expect everybody to finish at same time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubie Posted July 28, 2011 Share I think that some of the confusion relates to how the groups are divided, see me post earlier with the starting times.If you are in B you start first group for 60km. F is first group for 42km, K is first group for 30km and P first for 15km. F group is actually the A bunch of the 42km race!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree'd, wich means I have to cycle my ass off to go past the slow riders before hitting the single track...I am going to be super annoyed I know it already!

We understand what you said...we are just saying that there are stronger riders (ones with better results or more in it to race) in group J than in group F (for the 42km) or in group E than in B (for the 60km) - these will have to push through everyone in anyway.

hayleyearth Posted July 28, 2011 Share Were does the single track start? Km what roughly? Im starting in H for the 42km race HAHA...seems like they put most of the 'Hubbers' in "H"...I like it! Maybe we can get a 'TheHub' sponsord jersey and we all "H" starters ride with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was exactly my point, I shouldn't be in the A bunch for the 42km's, although I'm not complaining :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

covie Posted July 28, 2011 Share Im already loving the race snakes bitching about slow riders and seeding, not that I am slow or a race snake, but c'mon peeps every single year seeding is a mess, and you will get noobs in front of you, you will get stuck in traffic, and you probably will run into a mommy and her 9 year old towards the end. Though looking at the profile, if your as fast as you think you are you should be able to pass most of the slower riders quite quickly without hassle before you get to the bottlenecks. 2500 people sharing the same peace of earth, its obvious whats going to happen lol.

brussel Posted July 28, 2011 Share hmm covie, last year I was well up front and had some bottlenecking on the single tracks sections.. of much greater concern was the slower riders up and especially down papagaaiberg... but yes we manage to live even with slower riders although I recall some kid breaking his arm 2 years back at the finish of the Argus mtb. Top guys are comin gat 40 kph and the lighteys are doing 5 and weaving...not a good combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
