waveduke Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 AB for me... I'll never understand these seeding systems...
dev null Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 CC for us, which probably means the 3rd group in the 22km race. I guess the first letter is the distance: A = 55, B = 38, C = 22 and D = 14.
Smurfy Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Read the email again. It say prize giving is at 10:30 and Lucky draw at 11:30. That is not a cut-off. It really not fair to have the category winners wait until the stragglers are in before they start. Hell on the roadie version prize giving is done by the time half the field are still waiting to start.If thats the case then i am happy to retract my comment. The lady on the phone at the CTCToffice should`ve said that the lucky draw is at 11:30. She said cut off. Thanks for the info, sure my boet will feel better now.
Rockspider99 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Got Seeding mail too, I am in the TOP GROUP!!!!!CA......for the 22km Should take me just under 1.5 hours,then back with my Family for some breakfast and a day in Stellies. Maybe signing up for the 22km instead of the 55km (thought it was full but then when I look back entries were open again?) wasn't such a bad move anyways.

Boet, you better get moving. 1.5 hours is strolling. My son will try to go for 1h05, and there will be some blitsigge laaities that will go for sub 1h riding with you.
G e r h a r d Odendaal Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Only 55kms but hell its a tough one. Be prepared for pain.... Awesome race.
G e r h a r d Odendaal Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Sauser and Kulhavy should also be there....Watch out for the sand just after the start......
GLuvsMtb Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 If thats the case then i am happy to retract my comment. The lady on the phone at the CTCToffice should`ve said that the lucky draw is at 11:30. She said cut off. Thanks for the info, sure my boet will feel better now.If that is the cut-off as well, there will be lots of riders who will miss out on a medal and a coke at the finish. Also riding the 38 and planning a nice slow cruise. Have not been training much, so might as well enjoy the scenery.
Rockspider99 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Boet, you better get moving. 1.5 hours is strolling. My son will try to go for 1h05, and there will be some blitsigge laaities that will go for sub 1h riding with you.well in that case Sub 1 Hour I will have to attempt, not sure on the difficulty though it doesn't look too hectic with about 300M of climbing. Havn't been on a MTB trail for some time, mostly been on the Road.
dev null Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 You should be able to. There will be some high school hot shots riding with you, although it depends on how many would have been seeded with you. This will be our first CTCT (Argus) MTB race, hence our lower down seeding.
Johny Bravo Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I'm BA so I'm guessing the 38km hasn't got too many serious riders then BA for me aswell.
dev null Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 BTW, this event will form part of the new interschools marathon competition. Expect some frenetic racing between the top MTB high schools in the WC (Parel Vallei, Paul Roos, Montana, DF Malan).
Rockspider99 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 looking forward to getting mud in my face courtesy of young up and coming riders
Albatross Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Your seeding determines your place in the Q
Bester Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 CA on Saturday and AD on Sunday. Was planning on doing the Saturday ride with my wife, however she is CC (only her 2nd ride) - will I be able to hang back at the start to wait for her?
