Rouxenator Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 I'm in B but will no doubt be taken over by the racing snakes in C shortly after starting the Coetzenburg climb. The late start is excellent news for someone like me who cycles to the start. Now I only have to leave home at 8:15
Brendan Vogt Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 I entered for the 50km and my start group is J. Dirtopia got some explaining to do
wolver Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Not convinced that they have their seeding system up to scratch! On the website they list four races that they use for the seeding, of which I did two and finished in the overall top 30 in the one and top 100 in the other, yet I am seeded in "C" Not racing for the win by any means, but getting stuck behind slower riders on the singletrack is on one sure way to kill my vibe.Is it just me that thinks that it doesn't make sense?
cadenceblur Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Wow, E for me. New to this MTB thing, showing in the seedings I guess!

wolver Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Under the FAQ section of http://dieburgermtbchallenge.co.za/ 13. How is my seeding calculated and who is seeded?The 15km & 30km funrides are seeded on a first come, first serve basis – so enter early!The 42km, 50km & 60km riders results from the following Dirtopia events will be taken in consideration: Die Burger MTB Challenge 2014, Staalwater 2014, Spur MTB Classic 2014 & Amarider 100 Miler 2015. Riders can also send a request mail to info@dirtopia.co.za BEFORE 20 JULY with other recent race results to prove that they are capable & strong riders. One start group for the 75km riders.
Rouxenator Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Remember Dirtopia uses their own results database and seeding system. This is because they had, erm, uhm.... differences... with Racetec in the past due to questions about accuracy.

Climb hard!!!
dee_biker Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 And their phone stays engaged!1 Moenie worry nie Wannabe, jy sal my daar in B join! Oop kleppe!
Wannabe Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Moenie worry nie Wannabe, jy sal my daar in B join! Oop kleppe! Moontlik, maar nie maklik nie.
Smurfy Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Was there to collect my entry. Entered the 60km and got an 50 km race entry. A quick word with them and it was rectified. B group like last year. The reason most guys did not get an sms was cause their cell numbers were not listed on the entry. The lady on the switchboard had her hands full in this regard. Its gonna be wet.
Wannabe Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 After several attempts, got through to the helpfull people of Dirtopia. C batch starting for me.
