PieterJvR Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Has anyone received seeding info for this event? I assume that the number collections will be at the usual - CycleLab Fourways on Wednesday? Received my seeding mail just after 5 today.Yes, registration is at usual places - Cyclelab Fourways, Torqzone Cycles, Lynnwood Cyclery - unless you selected the option to have your race pack delivered to you
Craig Slow Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 This is a great marathon for first timers. Always respect any mountain bike race, but this is flat and fun....
corrie.kuilder Posted October 29, 2014 Author Posted October 29, 2014 Got my seeding mail,"B" batch again,lol. Regarding the trail,flat and fast,with a nice climb at the end.
Long Wheel Base Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 That's why it's Single Speed recommended.You doing it on a SS?
Vlakvark T Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Seems like a full house with a lot of new riders.
dillon Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 anyone know if the braai guys are going to be there?
Odinson Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Yip. Good luck! I have big respect for fast SS riders. Had my ass handed to me by an older gent riding an SS at Avianto on Sunday. Guy was a machine climbing those swithcbacks on the Phambili section of the trails.
johanpre44 Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Im in F batch, same as last year, expected a bit better since I was in D at Curro. Not that I complain, planning a slow start anyways.

It's the fast flats and downs.
FlyingScot Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Hoping to get in front of my batch at the start and stay there - if I recall correctly the dust in this one is a killer - just like the name suggests!
SimpleDom Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Hoping to get in front of my batch at the start and stay there - if I recall correctly the dust in this one is a killer - just like the name suggests!Good tip. Wish I was fast enough to stay ahead of my group.
canfan Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Good tip. Wish I was fast enough to stay ahead of my group.Same here! I managed to only just get into A batch on the 40km, so lots of dust eating it will be.
