Paulst12 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Nothing much, and no real specials. Got quoted a "show special" at the Oakley stand, R1000 more than at CWC.Damn, so I should have bought the tyres on EVOBIKES rather than wait!!

jcza Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Thanks for this post - This is the first year that chips are compulsory, some people may think they done the race before and there are no checks for chips - But this year there are a series of gates where chips will be checked. RaceTec will have a station at the back of the start in case someone forgets their chip. and for 2nd lap?
GaryvdM Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 And the penalty for starting in the wrong batch? From http://www.cyclechallenge.co.za/TermsandConditions A cyclist may not start in a group with a better seeding, but may move down to a slower group without being penalised. Cyclists starting ahead of their official start group will be disqualified. No protest will be entertained in this regard.
Bonus Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Saw people getting caught in better groups last year and hauled out at the gates. It's a no-no. Plain and simple. If you want to ride with friends who have better seeding, they will have to drop back to your group, which they can do without any problem.

Craig8252 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Planning on racing the first lap hard in A batch. I then want to do a second loop with some friends and help them through. If I wear the chip, my first lap results are going to be lost and over-written. How do you solve this problem if you have to wear a chip? Not doing a double for any charity or anything and I am seeded in A batch. just want to help a few friends on the second loop. Any suggestions....

Any suggestions....I'm in A batch Will also be doing a second lap at around 10:04 eish. Should be enough time to catch my breath, get a drink and get the the start again. Group list spreadsheet: https://docs.google....CtrQ/edit#gid=0 Here's the answer... Rob22, on 08 Nov 2015 - 3:23 PM, said:You will need a chip to get into the gates (first time and second). However you might want to remove your chip from your ankle or bike for the second lap so as not to give a weird timing result.

JJDT Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 @Craig this has been discussed a few pages back but the consensus is that you keep the chip on to enter through the start gates, take off the chip and keep in order for the timing mats not pick up the chip and off you go for lap 2.

But if you take it off and put it in your back pocket, what if the timing mats pick up the chip? Then your first lap is gone! Is it worth the risk?

Balkan_Rider Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 But if you take it off and put it in your back pocket, what if the timing mats pick up the chip? Then your first lap is gone! Is it worth the risk? What if you wrap it in foil? or some other material that will prevent reading?
