Tubehunter Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Look, i know it's easily accessible by anyone on the internet, but is it cricket to be posting screenshots of people's racetec results without them saying it's cool...? I mean, is it important, and does it make a difference to anyone...? Some people just got seeded where they got seeded. I doubt they asked for that seeding... Dude, I hear you, and open seeded groups, no issues, but the league starts are for people who not only have the pace but also the ability to race in close quarters! Groups behind these riders coming up on these out of place riders at twice the speed create seriously dangerous situations!
Long Wheel Base Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 More importantly check her previous results and try explain the seeding there! But it gets more crazy... Tell me if you can spot something fishy with these:(clue:check average speed across results...) http://results.racetec.co.za/results_by_person.aspx?PID=596426&HL=1http://results.racetec.co.za/results_by_person.aspx?PID=569246&HL=1 Their seeding came from the Fast One results where they beat the first tandems home....Is there a short ride distance at the Fast One that maybe is the cause of the confusion here??I think there is a short distance but her number for fast one is for the longer race. She did the short race for ride for site. Like you say, That's as fishy as a dogma on OLX for 10k.
z@z@ Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 CAS, however disillusioned some of the newbs are, this will not be the way you turn someone who is clearly getting into the sport into an ambassador of the sport bru. Can't help but wonder what the purposeful nature of taking it to this level is dude? ZD paid the money to get a reseed that did not give the index he actually qualified for. Seeing as he was not going to get up into the early bunches despite the reseed he dropped back 3 groups as it made no difference which group you're in midpack and to rather start with a mate. Something many of us would do. His real flaw was dropping the attitude with the complaint, which he seems to be getting over until you keep riling him. Any particular reason for this the rest of us don't know about? Thanks for saving me a few minutes Tubehunter, right on the ball These other okes need to lay off the juice My mother always taught me to lift my hand up when I have a question , and teacher always replied never judge a book by its cover.no question is stupid my boy. PS: Mr Stats made my racetec stats live , this is the third time doing the 947...how new am I ? to the forum ye ...riding a bike ? ummmm

She at least had the sense to drop back out of the league group for the 94.7! Jip...think they entered for the long one and then took the short route...mate of mine did the same and he got seeded in group "B" for 94.7...it happens

She at least had the sense to drop back out of the league group for the 94.7! I have the same problem on my results, I have emailed racetec about it (3 times over the years) but they just never fixed it and hence it shows me as the winner of a Long distance race 2 or 3 years ago but I did the short distance one that day.... Edit: and I didnt enter the long one, they just some how made the confusion. They at some time had me as a man too at races. Edit2: Tubehunter...your wish is my command
Lurch the stalker Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 so this is why they accepted one snotty email lol total mess up! also not very safeI wonder if they will accept a complaint that I got punctures on my ride..?

ycowley Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 CC017.png CC018.png CC019.png The tandem in the middle picture had an 8 year old little girl on the back. Dad on the front listening to Christmas music the whole way round (or so I assume as we dropped them going down the first downhill on Summit)
Tubehunter Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 How's this for a weird seeding\race result, start group.... Something fishy here! (Going through the vets league to see if I recognise any CT guys that went up for the ride and came upon this...) edit: Removed link to individual rider. If Baaisikilist feels we're drawing too much attention to a specific individual, that's cool. As he correctly states, they certainly are not asking for it! I'll be in contact with Racetec direct so they are aware of these minor issues. Hopefully they can clean up some results so that their seeding process gets fine tuned better for all concerned! (Please can I ask others that replied on my post to edit their posts and remove the direct links too! Certainly do not want to imply the riders in question deliberately cheated\were underhanded to a better seeding than they are capable of, but looking to see where the anomalies lie and possible cause! Again something for racetec to address!) BUMP
sdaghers Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Has anybody done the Cycle challenge survey yet? Doesnt sound like next year's race is confirmed....
TK-Sp3cialiSt Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I heard a rumour that this was the last one(various reasons), i wasn't planning on riding but decided to join due to this
