milky4130 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks Oom. Why oh why do we start behind the ladies. we catch them everytime!!!I dont think you will this time, start gap will be much bigger.
Clare Townsend Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I need help. So I've done the argus 6times - last time in 09 - usually on a MTB and usually 5hours+ time.I entered this year and didnt get in, so am now riding for a charity! Question - when do we get our start times? Or do charities have separate starts? (I cant remember how it all works) Also, is this years 99er a seeding race? Thanks for any enlightenment!

Go to racetec.co.za and search for your results, you'll see you have your start time listed there for this year's CTCT. EDIT: the 99er is a seeding race for 2017 CTCT
KidCharlemagne Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks Oom. Why oh why do we start behind the ladies. we catch them everytime!!!They will be caught, no question. The organisers make the same mistake over and over..
Tim Brink Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 They will be caught, no question. The organisers make the same mistake over and over..So where should the women pro's start? Not looking for a rumble. This is one of the Cycle Tour's biggest headaches, fresh ideas welcome.

So let the ladies start after 1B or 1C, like others said, 1A will catch them guaranteed

dev null Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Crap. 6E, starting just before 9. I will have to remember my happy face. Last year I was in 6D with a much poorer finishing time in the seeding race. My son starts in 3D, and he did not even finish the only official seeding event because of a technical, although he did some MTBing events where he finished in the top 25. So they must be using those also, although they are not officially telling us so.
Bianchisti Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Gaps in the batches looks tight. 5 minutes odd between 1B to 1E. Gonna be fun.
Ghost Rider X Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 According website there will be no Racing vets groups? Or am I wrong?
