Prince Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 How did these two Jhb races end up on the same day - 13 September?
mecheng89 Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 No matter. R4V is a seeding event, D2D isn't. Simple as that.
Long Wheel Base Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Ja its bad planning once again. Also covered on this thread https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/150260-r4v-d2d-entries-now-open/?hl=%2Bd2d&do=findComment&comment=2614745

davem Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 D2D is from Heia Safari this year. The website claims it is an Argus seeding event.
Sharkie 2 Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 CSA will move it I think.......maybe.....maybe not.It will be moved was the same issue last year
Dazshell Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 I''m bummed too. Amashova and 1 Tonner also on same day, 18 October. Last year I rode both, 1 week apart, and raised R34 000 for charity. No can do this year!
Frosty Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 If the dates aren't changed, it a no brainer for me... Race for Victory is close to home, giving me a 145Km ride for the day - cycle there, race and ride home again. If one of the races applies for Cat-R1 status, then they have exclusivity for a 500Km radius. Pity, because both events are worth supporting - just not on the same weekend.
Li Mu Bai Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Dumb. But dont forget Hill2Hill AND Ashburton Dullstroom MTB ALSO on that same weekend.4 big races and they cant co-ordinate a proper date. just rediculous (Sabie MTB and Carnival City in Feb also come to mind)

RastaMan Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 What is the ascending for both races?They havent released new D2D route yet, but I can tell you D2D will feature more climbing I know R4V is about 700 for the 110 and 1500, for the 150D2D could go anywhere from 1800 to 2500 for the 147, just depends on the route
