Frosty Posted January 16, 2015 Author Posted January 16, 2015 Is the Midvaal 100 Classic run by different organisers to the Fast one? How much is a Championchip?Good question - I'll find out as our Rotarians are also working at the FastOne. The championchip cost is R130 including the bike clip
Mats Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 I'm looking at doing this event but after my disasterous 94.7 and only seeding event I'm guaranteed of a late start. Grrr. Note to self: Do not crash again.

Frosty Posted January 18, 2015 Author Posted January 18, 2015 We had our pre-ride for members (we work on the route on race day) today. Most of the route is in fairly good condition, with a few hundred metres of uneven (tarred) surface just after the 16km mark (roadworks being the reason). Nothing that's dangerous but we'll advise cyclists to keep hands on the bars and leave the bottles in their cages. A lot of the R103 has newly tarred roads. The Nigel road (R42) was hectically busy, and we're glad we've got reduced speed limits as well as a number of coal trucks off the road on race day. Confitions today were tough, with head-on crosswinds for the last 35km or crosswinds on the section between 15km and 25km to go. Overcast conditions made it a bit more tolerable though. If race day has similar conditions, racing in the licensed categories will be really hard. A good 172km in the legs at 32.5km/h, so it was a great day out.

The race (read: casual ride inside Carnival City) starts at 09:00.The event takes place in the taxi rank just behind the upper car park - see the map below. Distance is unknown at this point and usually dictated by the little ones on the day - if they want to ride one lap, that's fine, if they want to break the 1-hour record that's also okay.

scotty Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Mmm toss up between MTB group entry or road entry
Frosty Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 Mmm toss up between MTB group entry or road entry You only have 19 days left to decide - no rush. Just a reminder that (for many) Sunday/Monday is pay day
Frosty Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 I'm involved this year with the seeding process, and I must tell you that for the bulk of entries received so far there shouldn't be too many problems. Considering today is Friday this one is for all the guys that bitch and moan that their seeding is wrong... 1. Being dyslexic is okay, but mixing digtis (ID number) and lettres (Nmae or Sruname) on an enrty form does pose a challenge when doing a lookup. 2. Using a nickname on one system and real name on another also makes it hard to lookup the correct Joe Soap, especially when he uses J Soap or JJ Soap. 3. The last one is for the ladies that change surname (usually when getting married) and don't update their profile. Last year it was Ms X and now it's Mrs Y or Mrs X-Y. I'm not one for moaning, and the above info is really a bit of tongue and cheek just to give you a taste of what organisers must sift through to get the seeding done correctly. So far, 31 errors from 676 entries of which 25 of them fell into 1/2/3 above. Have an enjoyable Friday, and weekend.
