All Mountain Girl Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Update from Great Time regarding start times: Ignore the first email, please!! -Apology, the system somehow DEDUCTED 2 hrs off your start time, -so it is actually 2 hrs LATER than it said. You will get an UPDATE email soon. Once again, our sincere apology! –system used GMT Time, -but should have used local time
Skubarra Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Jeeper must be a strong field! Seeded in C though I expected A.05:40 - Charge the lights... Eish! Doesn't make sense, I'm seeded in A, haven't ridden a fast race in ages - they must have dug up some old obscure result to seed me...
Marius Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Oh good, at least now I know I will not be last to finish in the A bunch hehehe
WaldoZ Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Eish! Doesn't make sense, I'm seeded in A, haven't ridden a fast race in ages - they must have dug up some old obscure result to seed me... I queried it and they are using SASeeding rankings for this. The only race I have ever done for that index is Darling Brew last year. Came 17th last year but obv now the seeding is carrying penalties and I'm seeded in the 200's somewhere from the entries received I might just query at registration and hope that my top 20 position in the Amarider 100 miler is enough proof to go up but I don't have high hopes. Gonna be a looooong day fighting through the field...
Dangermouse Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Looking for an entry for the 62km if anyone has one spare..
Jaco-fiets Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Does the area tend to be muddy when it rains or is it more rocky or sandy there? If it is raining throughout Friday night I am bailing. Not keen for another R1000 service
outoftowner Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 We will having during the coyrse of Friday night. It has been very dry of late,so the rain will be welcomed. The first 15km will have some sandy patches,followed by singletrack and rockgardens. Some low lying areas will probably be muddy. It is mtb after all. Bigger concern will be climbing legs and bike skills on the longer distance.

Gonna be a looooong day fighting through the field... YOU CAN DO IT. TOP 20 IN THE 10 MILLER, SHOULD BE A WALK IN THE PARK. ALWAYS A PROBLEM WITH LARGE STARTING GROUPS. THEY MIX THE PARTICIPANTS INTO MIXED GROUPS OF SNAKES AND MEDIUM RIDERS, AS WITH THE KAROO 2 COAST AND BURGER MTB.....
Smurfy Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Oh good, at least now I know I will not be last to finish in the A bunch heheheREMEMBER YOUR POMPIE THIS TIME.
wolver Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Eish! Doesn't make sense, I'm seeded in A, haven't ridden a fast race in ages - they must have dug up some old obscure result to seed me... I was also surprised to be in A, but i'll certainly take it. Useless at pacing myself so i'll probably try and stay with the group and then die somewhere in the last 20km
