Escapee.. Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 How do you qualify to ride VA or VB? Asking for a friend

rudi-h Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 standard seems to be getting better... the last 4 years i've steadily improved from a 3h01 to a 2h47, yet my start batch has moved back from D to E as my times improve. not complaining, just an observation.
Skubarra Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 How do you qualify to ride VA or VB? Asking for a friend Tell your friend he must do 2 things - A) survive till he is older than 30 and then B) ride faster than the okes in A batch
kingalton Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Didn't you do a sub-4 K2C just now? (or am I confusing you with another hubber), I thought racetec might have added the K2C for seeding, seems not. Good to know the V groups are calmer, I don't really enjoy those big aggro A,B,C groups in the mass participation races.yeah, did the sub 4 K2C, but only ridden twice since then I think, time is not my friend at the moment.. :-( that's exactly it, V groups are super calm, last year we were averaging only around 30 until we got into town, so a nice easy warm up, then the fun began, but there was no excited guys being too aggressive.. ended on a 38 average (2:26), so second half was fast, but still calm in the bunch...
Gandalf Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I'm gana take some E. Who is going to make that google spreadsheet like last year?
donoh Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Anyone know seeding order & times? nothing on the site I'd like to know too. It would also be nice to have transparency on how the rules work. Its my first 94.7 - Completed Lost City for seeding purposes in 3:41:05. This got me in K batch at 07h03. Racetec told me (via email) that seeding preference is given to repeat Cycle Challenge riders. Any other first timers out there - what's your batch?
Gandalf Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 standard seems to be getting better... the last 4 years i've steadily improved from a 3h01 to a 2h47, yet my start batch has moved back from D to E as my times improve. not complaining, just an observation.i wondered about that too. my seeding times for last year were not very good, and then i started in E, then i improved my time, and now again i am in E. but i think it is all to do with amount of people riding. the E batch is also a lot earlier than last year. 6:51 to 6:36. going to be an early morning start.
Zatek Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I don't know if they use PPA seeding but is shows that the winners times for Dischem Ride for Sight was 2:07:00 which is wrong (correct time was 2:35:49) and may be the reason why some of us are struggling.
