BrandonF_ Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Does anyone know how this race is timed? Cannot find any information on it. I know SASeeding has something to do with race chips but can't find any details on their website either.The permanent MTN SAS board you purchase has a timing chip on the back WesselvdWalt and TarmacPro 2
milky4130 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Â The permanent MTN SAS board you purchase has a timing chip on the backreally? Yikes never even noticed that, only noticed ladies sitting at finish line & taking numbers down as we crossed the line.
BrandonF_ Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 really? Yikes never even noticed that, only noticed ladies sitting at finish line & taking numbers down as we crossed the line. They might have done it manually in the past, but they now have these "scanner tunnels" (if you want to call it that), that picks up the timing on you board, I saw this at Gravel Travel last year milky4130 1

Johny Bravo Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Hey Guys! Please tell your friends, cousins, sisters, aunties, bff's and everyone to come support this race.. If I don't make target this year I have to cann it for 2015... which means NO CAPE EVENTS  Week before epic is a great last workout checking everything is in good nic for the Epic... we have lots of big names who are taking part who are also doing the epic I have entered and I am going, but most of the guys I ride with and other friends simply are not interested because Tulbach is too far. Finish and klaar, they dont care if the route is amazing etc etc. All of them gave me the same answer, too far to drive for a day. I shall see you all there and looking forward to a serious afkak session. WesselvdWalt 1

WesselvdWalt Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 When do we receive our seeding for the race?Wednesday
WesselvdWalt Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 So just a quick one. I might have been bumped up from waiting list to doing the Epic. So who is also doing both and at what % effort are you doing this one? I have it all planned out but keen to see what others are doing!As long as you make the cut-off for the Ultra will be 6hrs at +-70km...
WesselvdWalt Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 manualAll our events are electronically timed. You will be allocated a Permanent number board with timing chip at registration if you don't already own one. more info: www.saseeding.co.za milky4130 1
WesselvdWalt Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 really? Yikes never even noticed that, only noticed ladies sitting at finish line & taking numbers down as we crossed the line.Yes according to the UCI we have to have a manual back-up as well. milky4130 1
Johny Bravo Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) How the blazes is Tulbagh TOO far from Cape Town for a proper MTB event????????????????????Like I said, I am riding. But its about 200 to 300km there and back depending where you stay in Cape Town. 13 Rand something for a litre of petrol, do the maths. Also time involved getting there, these days people have to plan time with wife and kids and work and family carefully. If they plan on cancelling the event, like WesselvdWalt mentioned in his earlier post, maybe he should first consider a venue closer to Cape Town. Edited March 10, 2014 by Johny Bravo

Will decide in the week if my pocket can handle it.

BrandonF_ Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Definitely worth the little effort getting there, top class event and a fantastic vibe. Edited March 10, 2014 by BrandonF
