Because this forum can be viewed by minors I will refrain from using the language applicable for that weather forecast

Mornings are cold, regardless of weather forecast.

Those long term forecasts normally changes quite a lot as the date draws nearer. Hopefully it will change towards better and not worse! Starting in I in the race the about 3500 cyclists ahead could churn up a lot of mud.

I finally wrote Part 4 of my Sani2C 2013 experience. Go and check it out here - http://fhpienaar.wordpress.com/2014/05/04/losing-my-virginitysani2c-2013part-4/

not sure how they did the seeding ? Never started later than C ever (8 sani2c completed) and finished in at least top 150 teams every year yet we get G batch ?

 

Do you do any other races during the year? I think they use your race index which is calculated during the year.

I dont think so as my wife and i have been seeded in B. Can only be based on my previous times as there is no way my wife is a B batch rider.

We're in H for the Trail. I'm assuming they look at your previous sani times. I rode with a bug last year and had a torrid time.

 

There's enough open road on Day 1 to sort the seeding out though. By Day 2 the system has sorted itself out and you'll be where you belong (barring any mechanicals).

Totally, I didn't have a "great" Sani last year compared to the big boys although I was happy with my time. Not sure how we got into A batch for the trail, but hey, my friend has a great motto - "Go until you blow!"

AFAIK the organizers use your SA seeding index to do the seeding: http://www.saseeding.co.za/seeding-search/

How SA seeding arrive at the index is all explained on their website. They use the lowest index of the 2 partners to do the seeding and not the average. As Squier said everything will be sorted after day 1.

Hi guys spoke to Hennie who is doing the seeding, they are using the national seeding and this is how the seeding is worked out for the race. Looks like there are going to be some top riders there.

Looking for a lift for two people up to Underberg, no bikes, on Wednesday 14th from King Shaka airport. Flight lands at 11h30. Naturally willing to share costs.

[Francois Pienaar]

So I should actually be in D batch then, yet I'm in A. lolz, day 2 we'll prob be dropped down.

[Sarnicoview]

Sooo excited! Forgot what the build up to Sani is like... Can't wait for Adventure. Look out for any Oakhill Preschools tops on Trail, Adventure or Race, and look after them, please!!
