Bianchisti Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 "D" Bunch still leading the way in most hub numbers present. Looks like we might actually win, albeit the other groups not even aware they're involved in a "competition" https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AtpqXPqDsJOMdGlPMWE2UUU3N1JxVkxKVlhfYjdzamc&usp=docslist_api#gid=0

G e r h a r d Odendaal Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 How many cyclist enters this race? Is it as big as the Cape Cycle Tour?
Bianchisti Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 How many cyclist enters this race? Is it as big as the Cape Cycle Tour?Not sure about entries but supposed to be over 30k. But interestingly the numbers that finish this race is significantly less than in Argus (circa 10k). So either a lot of people don't rock up or a lot simply don't finish. That's if the number of entries as shown on 94.7 entry page is accurate.

tombeej Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Thanks, I have never taken part in such a big race before. The Amashova was "comfortable" with around 10 000 entries....Remember that the Amashova had 10,000 entries for all 3 races combined (100k, 65k, 35k) but 'only' 4,500 for the full distance.
Frosty Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Many people ride without a timing chip so the number of entries vs finishers is pretty irrelevant
LongDonkey Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Many people ride without a timing chip so the number of entries vs finishers is pretty irrelevantAnd also CT cycle tour they are pretty anal about not letting you into the pens without a timing chip, so hard to guess real numbers.
Escapee.. Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Couple of mates did the route on the weekend, well as most of it as they could. They confirmed its going to be a lot tougher than previous years.

LongDonkey Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 If you freewheel the downhills really fast it will be as easy as previous years.I plan on freewheeling uphills
