C batch this year. Nervously excited about Saturday.

 

Nervous is the word. I hear the word "Sabie" and my HR goes for a six, let alone me think of the day.

Hey guys good luck for the weekend.

Just want to let you know regarding the age for categories.

Yes the entry system with entelect uses the age you are at the beginning of the year... unfortunately it's wrong! but they can't change it as it's been hard coded apparently.

 

We use the age you are on the year of the event on the 31st of Dec as per Cycling SA & UCi guidelines. (one reason why timing was mixed up at Dullstroom)

 

We moving yet again to (hopefully) the last online entry system for Clarens's entries from end of February.

 

Hang in there, it's been a "deurmekaar" start to the year soon all these gremlins will be over and we can all focus again on just riding our bikes!

 

Spoke to Brett & Dennis this morning who own the Sabie Classic event and they reckon yes it's wet... but it's far from muddy. (let's hope it holds - will have feedback when we're there tomorrow morning)

updates every 2-3 hrs. Nice little tropical storm on the Eastern side, bringing rain to the area over the weekend, depending on its movement, will be better or worse for the weekend...

At least now i have an excuse to walk up mamba " its too slippery to ride! "

You okez reckon a 36t front with a 11-36t rear will be enough gearing?
