Is this the end of the sub 3 Argus (as we know it)?

[jkoorts]

Sorry, I was wrong, B Started 6:32 last year.

 

Also we do not know the size of the groups this year, they all may be smaller at the front of the field. If the first 8 bunches only have 120 riders each, then not so bad.

 

How can one find out if this is so?

Stupid retards put in penalties for races that they use that is more than a year old where there are countless races that I did recently that they discard

That is crazy! They want to put ladies, sub vets, vets and masters together.

What will happen when all 4 categories start to sprint to the finish!!!

What is wrong with CSA? Why can't they sort the seeding properly? We can't let the amateur organise it?

 

I suggest that they do it:

6:15 Elite

6:16 Ladies

6:20 Tandem

6:21 Sub Vets

6:24 Vets & Masters'

6:30 A

6:32 B

 

Either you or I misunderstood the email. According to me they're not saying ladies, sub vets, vets and masters will start together. That is just the sequence, therefore probably % and VA together, etc.

 

I assume based on the fact that for the next "group" they show B to J and I'm sure B to J aren't starting in one large group.

 

Start Group Sequence

The start group sequence will be as follows:

$ - Top seeded Elite, Under 23 and Juniors

# - Racing Tandems

%, VA, VB, VM and A - Elite Ladies, Racing Veteran Men and Top Seeded Riders

B to J - Seeded

 

Edit:

 

I see Gary posted that those four categories actually start at the same time so I was wrong! I don't mind the VB and VM, but the ladies are quite another thing. No offense.

 

And skistar, you are probably right, smaller groups which causes people to be seeded further back.

A lot can happen in a year, or even 3 months of fitness. I actually think that the new seeding rules benefit all of us, as the bunches are evenally matched. You wont see someone in the Elite bunch getting dropped on hospital hill unless its a mechanical.

% 6:24 Women

VA 6:24 SubVet

VB 6:24 Vets 40-49

VM 6:24 Vets 50+

A 6:24 Seeded

 

^^^ They all have the same start time.

And I'm happily one of them. Great day out.

Yes, I edited my response, thanks. You have to set up another file. Read the last page of the https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/130053-argus-2014/page__st__464?do=findComment&comment=2211543 thread. Thanks!

No. Running with the bulls wildebeest (this is Africa after all)

This event is such a celebration of cycling.

For one day in the gorgeous Mother City, cyclists can own this world-class stunner of a course.

 

I treat it as such.

 

I reckon this new seeding system is worth a try.

I'm all for innovation.

 

Reduce subscription, someone mentioned.

No way. Loss of revenue is too big of an issue.

The best place to start is at the back. Then you overtake people and think you're a brilliant cyclist.

You saw right through my strategy

Do they not use 94-7 as a seeding race?
