"24 August 2015:

Over 33 000 thousand cyclists have entered the 19th Edition of the Cycle Challenge"

 

Anyone know if this is for the Mtb, Kiddies and Road or only the Road event?

33k entries already sold a week ago leaves one wondering what the total amount of entries will be.

That's "timed" finishers. There are people that ride without a chip - I have no idea how many, but I have seen a number of people riding without a chip (mainly those doing it for a corporate challenge or a dare and start right at the back).

And all the second lappers too

Forgot about them.

 

But they would never make it back in time for the corporate start groups. I know, I've started at 5:45 before and got back to the start after refuelling at about 09:00 (an hour after the charity /corporates have left).

Hey!

Where the hell is my seeding?  :ph34r:

Apparently we can expect them after the PPA Seeding run in October. The PPA seeding run normally happens on the first Wednesday of the month, I think.

Just got a mail from my charity group I'm riding for... seeding will be sent from today.

 

I at least know the charity start time is 09:07 - now I can get another lap in before or sleep in

The start times have to move out due to the Woman's UCI 1.1 event. They need clear roads for their event to be a fair contest.

 

So many people will be starting later than usual.

Would still be better to start @ 9:07, than @ 10:30 - 11:00 for first timers  :eek:  :wacko:

True that. I remember my very 1st 947. I started in SS batch @ 10:40

 

I have a work colleague who was planning on riding for a charity but it got to expensive for his budget so now he will be doing his 1st ever road race / event this year. Quite interested to see what seeding he gets or doesn't get. Poor guy is going to die in the heat.
