Vlakvark T Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Sometimes I think, sometimes I do not think Here is the link to the route profiles, http://www.usn.co.za/bulletin/press-releases/race-profiles-of-usn-mtb-cup-race-6-2014-R492.html Remember, this is a SASeeding event and you will be required to bring your SAS number board. Please note that should you not have a SASeeding number board, you will be required to purchase one for the event. There is a once off fee of R50 for a board which can be used at any future SASeeding event. There will be a number collection on Friday the 24th October 2014 which will be held at Epic Sports Cycles, cnr Jean Avenue and Lenchen Avenue, Centurion

RossW Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 1.6 front and 1.8 rear, I'll be in hub Lycra kit...going slowly on my hard tail Going slowly! Hahahaha. Tell us another!
IdeJongh Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Ok just received my seeding email - and the stated "SAS board number" is not my SAS number ... are we actually using our normal SAS boards then?
Tayyib Posted October 23, 2014 Author Posted October 23, 2014 if that's what works for you then stick with it...what tyres are you running ? I'm 83 kgsSpez captain 2.1 in front and fast track 2.2 in the back atm. .....Ideally I'd prefer 2.2 in front.
Squier Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Ok just received my seeding email - and the stated "SAS board number" is not my SAS number ... are we actually using our normal SAS boards then?I have my correct SAS board number on my email. We're using our normal SAS boards. A for the 50!
IdeJongh Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I have my correct SAS board number on my email. We're using our normal SAS boards. A for the 50! Yeah I phoned them, apparently some issue on their system so now have to go sort it out at registration but see you in A
RocknRolla Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 looking forward to this ride.If i am not mistaken we are in for a bit of a mudbath? last time i rode there in the mud, i had an unexpected dismount around a slippery corner.
RocknRolla Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 just checked, seems like late afternoon showers...so hopefully we will be ok. hopefully i finish in time for some cold beers.
