Harryn Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 IL ffs Edit. Oops, sorry wrong thread. I meant R4S!
Frosty Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 When will start groups be released?Start groups or start times? Start groups show on the race website www.germistonclassic.co.za Start times will only be available after online entries close.
Frosty Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 It is hard to understand that. Surely they are not in direct competition with you. It can even be seen as something they can use for advertising. I have to admit that I am very interested to know which race it is.We (the race committee) decided not to get into a fight with one race organiser over their rather blunt reply. We didn't even reply to their mail once received. At the end of the day, cycling should be the winner and we try our best to give a little bit more than most. The data is available online and anyone with half an IT brain will be able to extract the info. Is it the right thing to do?
Frosty Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 How much confidential can it be, its listed on CC/Racetc website for all to see.I know it is and I know how to get it - but asking (or rather explaining why we need it) was the polite/responsible thing to do.
scotty Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I know it is and I know how to get it - but asking (or rather explaining why we need it) was the polite/responsible thing to do.I get that you cant use them even if they are freely available without their permission, just wondering about the other orgs comment around confidentiality, how do they think their race is seeded. Anyhow, looking forward to the race, 2 weeks to go.
Frosty Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 I have to admit that I am very interested to know which race it is.I was going to say "Have a look at the Gauteng based events that we're using - you'll find one absentee from the list", then I realised there are a few of the well supported events missing. Two of these events we didn't contact,One that we did contact said they would assist but haven't come back to us.Then there is the BIG one that can't SEE a reason to share anything.

Anyhow, looking forward to the race, 2 weeks to go. Racetec, PPA, CTCTT, Cycle Events - all one big happy family.All the information is shared freely between these organisations - that's how 99% of the events get seeded.
Long Wheel Base Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Decided to go single bike this time and ride VA (think the extra distance will be good for argus training)
Escapee.. Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Entered Had a look yesterday for my Chip, no idea where it is

Cadre Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Both majors in Durban (Shova and Tour Durban) are Racetec timed. We travelled up and did 94.7 and Value logistics, being Racetec. Pointless to do one race a year for which you need another chip. Would have loved to do it. (minus 17 riders from our club, sorry). We all lose out because of this. Already the adrennies are hyped in anticipation of Argus.

Long Wheel Base Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Are entries still open. I believe they close tonight at 23h00. But I'm sure Gerald will confirm soon.
