Frosty Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Just some info that came out from our pre-race meeting last night: This is a ChampionChip timed event, Racetec chips will not get you a time.It's the green round chip, unless you were a runner (could be blue).If you have any doubts about the validity of your chip, take it with to registration to test. NO CHIP, NO PRIZE!! No exceptions!! Late entries can be done at number collections Licensed prize giving is at 10:30 and the main prize giving at 12:00 Please don't litter!!

Frosty Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) So the later you start (later in groups) the bigger the groups.Nopes, Excel tells me that the open/seeded groups are all 260. It is just AL that is smaller. Reasoning is most probably along the lines that most of the groups will break up in smaller ones, except the 'racers' in AL, hence a smaller group for them. Disclaimer : I'm not involved with the race at all. I'm just a desk jockey who knows how to a.) copy & paste; b.) drive ExcelAL will be racing within the licensed categories, they start before the VC & Vet Ladies, so their bunch has to comply with "licensed" rules - max 150 riders per bunch.

Frosty Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 W@nna-BE - you can get a chip at registration, not sure on the cost, but it's around the R100 mark. To anyone else, existing chips can be tested at registration.
Frosty Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) A moerse big spanner, probably a bobbejaan, was tossed into my start plans.Another group has been added to the 103Km distance, as numbers were too big in the preceeding bunches.Only changes to the AS (20Km) should be affected at this stage. The start times are as follows: 134Km06:00 - Elite Men & U23 103Km06:10 - Elite Ladies06:55 - Vets 30-3906:59 - Vets 40-4907:03 - Juniors07:13 - Tandems07:17 - AL07:21 - Vets 50+ & Vet Ladies 35+07:28 - BL07:32 - CL07:36 - DL07:40 - EL07:45 - FL07:50 - GL07:55 - HL08:00 - IL *new start group due to increased numbers 20Km Fun ride08:05 - AS *revised start time due to the extra group added (IL) 65Km08:12 - U14 & U1608:19 - Tandems08:24 - AM & Corporate Team Challenge08:29 - BM08:34 - CM & MTB Challenge08:39 - DM08:44 - EM Edited February 22, 2012 by geraldm24

Frosty Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 just got back from Cycle Lab Fourways just to find its tomorrow will i still be able to get a late entry tomorrow?? i can't get to centurion !! Yes, you can enter at any of the number collection points, as well as on race day (although I'd advise to do it before).
W@nna-BE Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 thanks Gerald, i will go through to fourways tomorrow, just thought its better if i go to centurion to ensure a better start time ??

Frosty Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 thanks Gerald, i will go through to fourways tomorrow, just thought its better if i go to centurion to ensure a better start time ?? You are correct about the better start time - if there is space in the group you're seeded for, otherwise it will be the next avaiable group.
