Frosty Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 So who uses the PPA seeding? and do you want it to be low or high? They have used one race for my PPA seeding, the Jock, which gives me a index of 15.28. Is that good or bad?And somehow I am in CL for Sunday.I'm 99.9% sure that events seeded by Cycle Events will use the PPA seeding. They're all part of the same conglomerate family.

Your seeding of 15.28 should be very close to a B or C group start.
Frosty Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 me and the wife are also in EL, what sort of time are you guys going for? I want to go as close to 3h00 as possible, hopefully sub 3 but I struggle with flu since the weekend and this morning I woke up with gout FFS. My wife will probably do around 3h30.Given the shorter distance (105Km), I'm sure a sub-3 will be possible. We pulled the EL bunch at the Emperor's Classic earlier this year to a 2:42, and we weren't really going as hard as we could have gone. This time, it (pace) may be a bit harder when the road tilts up.

Dgas Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Does anybody know what the total ascent is on the 105km route? The profile looks quite hilly. Looking at the weather it does not look like much wind.
GaryvdM Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Does anybody know what the total ascent is on the 105km route? The profile looks quite hilly. 664m gain. aka flat. The profile on the website looks hilly because of the horizontal scale they used.
Zatek Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 There is no such thing as a flat race unless you doing track. It is either hilly or windy or both.
bmw1za Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Thanks to Prince I got an entry .. D bunch(ppa seeding index 25) as I didnt do Lost City This year (technicality).. looking forward to a nice workout
Rotiringer Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Anyone know if you don't pick up your number for a race and pitch with your racetec chip and a confirm of your seeding and payment, whether they will give you shiit or let you ride? Picking up your number is a bloody mission

Picking up your number is a bloody missionYou can collect from 5am .. on raceday ( but not later than 25mins before the corresponding Group start)
Rotiringer Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 You can collect from 5am .. on raceday ( but not later than 25mins before the corresponding Group start)Fantastic - you sure about that? That don't mention it on their comms
Long Wheel Base Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Fantastic - you sure about that? That don't mention it on their commsThey never put it in their emails to avoid most people doing the more practical thing of entering on race day. I always refuse to take leave to go register for a race(except the emperors race as I work at the airport and I take a walk there during lunchtime) . But it's on the website.
Underachiever Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 There is no such thing as a flat race unless you doing track. It is either hilly or windy or both.And track racing is MOER hard!!!
Underachiever Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 cut, cut cut ...... This time, it (pace) may WILL be a bit harder when the road tilts up. And the last 20 km or so will be gutter riding if the wind blows from the North
