[Event] Chris Willemse Cycles Durbie Dash

[Reg Lizard]

Going to miss this one, not worth the money for the team, R2700 can be spent elsewhere better.

 

Maybe some motopacing training

....or a photoshoot for Woofie

[Dicky DQ]

Ha ha.... Hope there will be a cold one afterwards?

 

How does the seeding work for this event? Mass start or what?

PPA Seeding as per normal. Depending on how many in each group they may be combined.

 

Guys - remember that cold ones afterwards at any school is not going to happen. got to do with Department of Education rules etc. 

 

Sad state, this will eventually mean that events will move the finish to other locations that can cater for this and school organized events will suffer.

Entries extended to Midnight Wednesday (22nd) due to some banks not being terribly proactive...

 

On the sushi note - most recommended one I know of is Asami in Cobble Walk Shopping centre in Sonstraal Heights

Hey guys. I am a noob and been cycling for about 8 months now. This will be my first event. I am doing the 36km. I am ok with the distance but quite nervous for the climbs. Any advice?

[nazmo]

Hey JonoZA

 

I assume you will be seeded lower down as it is your first event. I only started racing the past year myself and im still learning. You will be in groups with relatively inexperienced riders, so it might get a bit congested at times, so just be aware around you.

 

As for climbs, go as light a gear as you can, and get into a steady rhythm, try to climb at a pace you comfortable with. The difference between climbing at 10kmh and 11kmh might not be worth the extra strain.  

 

The fact that you have been cycling for 8 months, i dont think you will struggle at all. So just go at a comfortable pace. As you seed better and ride more, then you can start blasting up hills.

Thanks Nazmo [emoji106]

[Nickster]

Has anyone received confirmation of their race number yet?

[Aaron_B]

It's a PPA race - no race numbers. You use your annual board.
