milky4130 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Jorrie I can only imagine the reason you didn't make the cut is due to there being faster riders ahead of you? You'll never know until you email them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jip, must be a strong field, two years in the top 20 and still not good enough for B group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be more events as I only did the 42 last year and of all the other events listed here I did the Spur MTB Classic. This year I am seeded B.

V18 Posted July 28, 2014 Share I'm assuming no one is giving up their 42km tickets yet? No one had a pre race body/bike technical yet? Let me know if you guys know of anyone that'll be unable to attend and willing to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@ndy Posted July 29, 2014 Share Jip, must be a strong field, two years in the top 20 and still not good enough for B group! There seeding might be like the PPA system which gives a higher score depending on what the winners times are. If this is the case there will be a low score for the 60km race as all the pro's and other top riders are probably doing the 75. I am still counting my 2013 grape escape seeding points in the PPA system because all the Epic guys that raced had very fast times and my (way down the field) result has a high beta factor. I have had a few recent results in the top 25% but they do not score me as many points because of the lack of top guys at the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the sounds of it I should actually be in either D or E starting groups. Weird how they work it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rydogg Posted July 29, 2014 Share I am taking a chance here: I got an E seeding for the 60km, which is ridiculous. Is anyone willing to swap for a "B" seeding? I will pay! BrandonF_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeridaHFS Posted July 29, 2014 Share Got a "C" seeding for the 60km. Also by the sound of it I should be in the G or H groups.... georgemc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
