Lurch the stalker Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 I will have to move my arse and may have to go without a stop to refuel. Ouch.I wanted to do the two lap thing but am seeded in F H so start is at 07:00 so never going to make it back in 1:59...

Dgas Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Team NSPCA - we are riding for animals. Most of the members that are riding will start in this group. They're not fast/fit enough to race a lap and ride a second one. So my challenge is on to get back in time, and ride with them. http://www.nspca.co.za/ClientData/10072/Uploads/campaigns_cycle_challenge.jpg Our club's official fund-raising website (back a buddy - any amount can be donated) or R25 per SMS by texting 947-67 to 38018. I'm officially registered to start in the charity group - but considering I've been seeded in VC, I'm going to make the most of the opportunity to be somewhat selfish (first) and caring (after).What time does the charity ride start? I am starting in C so should get back to the start by 9.30 max.
Nibali Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Starting in A, but thinking of dropping back to help the old man with his first 94.7. So probably group FF for me. Too keen

I'm seeded in Q (happy enough), no chance that I'm starting later in the day with buddies doing their first 94.7. Only problem is that I will probably do it on my steel 29er with 2x10 gearing (not that friendly for high speed), and possibly noblies (not phased to swap them with slicks this year).
pad man Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Am I right in saying there is 3 more races to improve your seeding before 15 November? D2DSatelite94.7 MTB
Brickleberry Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 I have been told D2D might influence the seeding still, not sure about the others.

bmw1za Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 A bunch last year .. then A and B for almost every race before and after that excluding the D Seed late entry at R4V... But I got H this year for 94.7 , totally amused ... but i'm going to stay there and hopefully have a great day out there
scotty Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 M group for me 7.25 start, cant complain, last time i did a seeded race was 94.7 2013.

But I got H this year for 94.7 , totally amused ... but i'm going to stay there and hopefully have a great day out thereI got H too. Rode a 2:43 R4V, so was hoping that would count towards something better. Wonder if a reseed is possible.
bmw1za Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 I got H too. Rode a 2:43 R4V, so was hoping that would count towards something better. Wonder if a reseed is possible.Go for it , you way stronger than me ...
Frosty Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 What time does the charity ride start? I am starting in C so should get back to the start by 9.30 max.Our one starts at 09:07 The start groups allocated to charities are: DD – 08h43 EE – 08h51 FF – 05h59 (think this is a typo - I copied from email) GG – 09h07 HH – 09h15
Zatek Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 I got H too. Rode a 2:43 R4V, so was hoping that would count towards something better. Wonder if a reseed is possible.I got VB. What is your seeding index? I would ask for a reseed if I were you.

Is there a fee or something that I would need to pay? Looking at the charity group start times I probably won't get back in time. I am starting 6.37 so assuming (hoping) that my time will be around 2.50, I will miss the 9.07 time. So a donation?
