Tubehunter Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 If you are out of town, how do you get your PPA seedings for this race? Your new PPA seeding number is used for this. http://www.pedalpower.org.za/index.php/results-seeding/seeding/seeding-lookup/
Dazshell Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Also entered and riding (Not racing, don't have the mileage in my legs for that. ) I'll be the chap progressively sliding backwards and hopping onto as many groups as I can to ease the route round where I can...Look for me. I'll be sliding back right next to you!
Jaco-fiets Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Do we start in our PPA seeded groups or are there a seeding run specific to this race?
Pure Savage Posted October 9, 2014 Author Posted October 9, 2014 Do we start in our PPA seeded groups or are there a seeding run specific to this race? You use your PPA road seeding number for this event, there is no separate seeding for the event. If you are around rondebosch I would pick up the number at the offices, on the day the lines are ridiculous.

Will see if I can finish this one
Tubehunter Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Also doing my first One Tonner. Will see if I can finish this one Just keep pedaling. When you don't feel like it anymore you think of Jens and just keep pedaling... You can do it!!!!! See you and Col there!
Snytjie Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Also my first. Was about to ask about the range in 'commitment' to the race as I suddenly got sick and lost three weeks of training and was considering skipping it. Was comfortable with 4.5 hours riding before getting sick, don't know what it will be like next week... Hopefully I can get one 4.5 hour ride in before the race. Glad to see I'll find some of you taking it easy as I will.

Glad to see I'll find some of you taking it easy as I will. It will be a training ride for me rather than a race for sure! Have only done one ride over 80 clicks since the Argus and not ridden nearly as much as I normally do... (Yes, it's been a great winter for hunting down waves....)
Dazshell Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 My motivation to get me to the end is the R116 per km sponsorship I have raised for charity! Between this and Amashove the week before, I'm hoping to raise over R31 000!
Dicky DQ Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Also doing it with my DC team. Goning to be hard I know. My wide is having spitbraai the night before.

'hamster Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Are they still planning to send us our starting times?
Donovan Le Cok Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Are they still planning to send us our starting times? The organizers don't normally send out starting times for groups for this event. The race starts from 06:30 and will be sent off in batches of around 4 groups. eg A,B,C,D together, with probably around 5 minute intervals between batches. That is what happened last year.

BMCfan Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Well if it was like this weekend they will send out the groups on their own and only put 1 min between. Where are the savage train starting?You okes klapped it on the past weekend. Was very impressed with you guys. Werent looking for someone to help, just put your heads down and do the work yourself. You guys are ysters
Skubarra Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Well if it was like this weekend they will send out the groups on their own and only put 1 min between. Interesting strategy.... Some motivation to start fast and catch the group in front of you to improve your seeding! Going to be interesting with a big climb early-on and DC teams fallling back to work together, groups could be quite mixed-up by the time we get to Boschendal!
