Prozac Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 First race and first time in VA - going to be interesting!make sure your legs are warm . . . its a fast start !
Prozac Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Also riding VA for this one..... Nice , Last year we were only a hand full . . . okay 3 hands full (28) . . . to start in VA hopefully we have more this year !
Francis1 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I will start in FL, on a Trek 1000 discovery edition. Anybody more than welcome to give me a push.
amosdelange Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Starting FL. Slowly working on that seeding again. And in other news... Anybody in Tjoeras (Centurion) whose numbers I can pick up tomorrow (Thursday) from Fourways. Will be going through at 12:00. PM with your details (Name, Race number, Start group and Cell nr).
FlyingScot Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Nice , Last year we were only a hand full . . . okay 3 hands full (28) . . . to start in VA hopefully we have more this year ! There should be a big group in VA - I have spoken to quite a few club guys who are also VA, so hoping for 50+ to be honest. Not looking forward to the 7.5km spike in the beginning - I'm expecting a few guys to push hard there and I'm going to do my best to hold on! Bringing back memories of the 947 start climb...and Amashova's Fox hill.
Long Wheel Base Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 No-one else in DL for this?Going to be a lonely ride.
StevieL Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 Going to be a lonely ride.Hahaha. It was always going to be. I'll probably have lost the group by the 5km mark...
Long Wheel Base Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Hahaha. It was always going to be. I'll probably have lost the group by the 5km mark...Sounds like my race last year.

Bringing back memories of the 947 start climb...and Amashova's Fox hill.I see last year only 28 guys rode in VA. (The guys crossed in two distinct bunches)But 60+ at Serengeti. I wonder if its a fact that Serengeti is being timed by Champoinchip this year that there is this migration to the BergenDale?

Last year the B&D was on the same weekend as SA national champs, so that cut the numbers a lot.

Long Wheel Base Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 For me, Racetec trumps Championchip every time...Your not the only one with that opinion. Iv heard quite a few guys with comments similar to that just with different choice of words. Any idea why this is so?
Patchelicious Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Your not the only one with that opinion. Iv heard quite a few guys with comments similar to that just with different choice of words. Any idea why this is so?I think the Racetec affiliation with Argus and 947 seeding adds here.
shaper Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 there are also not that many races with championchip, i only do one every year which is Carnival City next month... so also maybe a factor as you have to buy 2 timing chips and the majority of races are racetec
Patchelicious Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Nice , Last year we were only a hand full . . . okay 3 hands full (28) . . . to start in VA hopefully we have more this year !Sorry, missed your post. I'll be the out of breath guy holding on for dear life at the back Please dont say hi.
