milky4130 Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Also decided to skip this race, this year, firstly I'm already entrered for Origin of Trails & Second the price.Last year was the same did OOT fri & Sat & the Sunday the legs was toast needless to say I got dropped like a hot potatoe up hels, from the Elite bunch. With that said if I pick up a free or cheap entry closer to the time & can still do substitution I'll be on the line.
Tubehunter Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Wouldn’t it be nice if organisers of not only this event, but other events as well join The Hub for a predetermined day and time which is advertised on The Hub and engage in an hour question and answer session with members alternatively that a selection of relevant questions from members are selected, presented to organisers and the questions and answers furnished to all members? Daar kan dan duidelikheid bekom word oor byv waarom die korter roete mee weggedoen is, wat is die agtergrond waarom Die Burger nie meer betrokke is nie , is dit toeval dat die Argus en nou ook die event se naam verander is analoog aan die Argus en ook ander aspekte omtrent die spesifieke event. Ek sal dit baie meer waardeer om op hoogte te wees met die feitelike situasie as om daaroor te wonder en te bespiegel wat in baie gevalle alleen tot negatiwiteit aanleiding verleen.......of is so iets al op die Hub gedoen en is agteros nou ook in die kraal? This idea makes so much sense to those of us who have invested the time to be part of the community here, as we understand who and what to take seriously when people reply to threads here. The reason you will most likely never see something this beneficial happen on the hub is because some of the community do not see a problem with shooting their mouths off and hurling abuse in a destructive way that essentially shuts down any useful communication that could come from this type of interaction.
Ratty Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I think its good value. It includes breakfast and lunch, on both days. The food was lekka last year. And the routes are just amazing, worth every penny. I absolutely love that race. Looking forward to doing my first one. Lot more effort has to go into a mtb race route as often they are creating new tracks etc. I don't mind payment more for a mtb race. R330 to do a road race with no road closures is not worth it for me.
Wannabe Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Will PPA index be used to seed? Yes Nope.National Seeding Index. Your PPA index will however be taken into consideration.With my current F seeding from PPA I had a C A bunch start last year.So keep an eye out for that all important SMS or e-mail in the week before the race.

National Seeding Index? I'm sure your seeding is based on your PPA index - your F seeding would give you an A bunch start because the Burger groups are smaller than the PPA groups
Pooyan Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 If I have to take a guess; I think they use all Racetec timed races and maybe some other races for seeding. I can assure you in the past they did not use PPA seeding. You only needed one good race to get a good Burger seeding.
Omar Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 for R300 i can join a club who have FREE organised club rides every saturday and sunday and i don't have to get up at an ungodly hour and drive for an hour to the ride.
