Will all be in the magazine you should have received by now. Tells you everything you need to know

Speaking of the pre-race magazine, not everyone has received their hard-copies from the mail (myself included, thanks to the ****-office for yet another mail-theft)

2B for me. Should be a good support group for my 3:45 attempt.

[Maniax]

Any ideas whether a starting group 1B will make a sub 3 possible?

Dude, if you can hold on a sub 3 will be a definite possibility. But those guys are serious.

I am seeded 1F which is 6:32 but woukd like to start with Juniors, how do i do that? Do I email them and asknor do I buy a full racing licence?

[Rouxenator]

Same as every year, 1G, happy with that too. But guys you do know there are other way more special rides than this? Right?

Shows events used (apparentley)

 

I checked, and I saw that they used last year's CTCT results for my son's seeding.  But I thought that dash on the M3 and back would not qualify for seeding at all.  I guess I must be happy for him.  He did a 1h34 last year.

 

I told him that he would have to hold on for dear life when that group pulls away, and not be dropped from the back.  He is good on the climbs, but not so good on the flats.

3E. 7:17 start. Same as last year. Think I can do a sub 4 from there?

IMO it's very doable for a sub-4 and even a little better (provide the weather elements plays into one's hand)

Sweet, 2D, flat outlook for this ride

Possible for sub 3 if group can push. True test will be this weekend 99er. That uphill finish always a killer.

Will also be running CTMTB 30KM due to the fact that my MTB bike has been stolen again!

 

Well good luck all for last little bit of training, was great to see cyclists taking over the road this Saturday morning.

1A... no racing vets group this year.

Possible for sub 3 if group can push.

IMO there is virtually no chance of a Sub 3 from 2D.

[J∆kk∆ls]

Sub4 is possible without the help of a group.

If you are fit and ready that is.

[Spookie]

So has there been any more clarification over the whole Chappies thing? Any ideas? Why are they being so quiet about it
