Pure Savage Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 I think by the time you get to Klapmuts the strong climbers in A will be on their own - followed by a combined group of strong B climbers & A stragglers and so on.. More or less what happened last year with big Helz right at the start. 5 minutes is a big gap.
Bankie99 Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 As far as I know registration was Wed in Southern suburbs and yesterday in northern suburbs and again on Sunday at the race. No registration today or tomorrow as far as I know.
Skubarra Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 5 minutes is a big gap. True, but last year the okes dropped from the front bunch were happy to slow down and wait for the next bus to catch them rather than burn matches to stay ahead of the bus for 150km & try catch the leaders again. Might be different this year?
Leg breaker Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Wouldn't A and B start separately because of the league going on for A and B ? That also must mean that B start separately to C. Just guessing.

Might be different this year? Skubarra, were you a B rider last year that got dropped on Helshoogte and ended up finishing with C-D group? If so, I met you and we chatted for a while

HeadDown Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Think PPA should sort out their communication. Being able to register early and gaps between start groups I had to come here to find out. Don't think I should have to phone or email them to get these basic questions answered. (I will be emailing them next week with this whinge)
Karman de Lange Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 They don't read emails, so you gonna waste your time Phone or if you lucky the FB page is only way Think PPA should sort out their communication.

I received an email from them which contained this info and more. Maybe check your spam folder?

But have my number and sticker and am ready to roll tomorrow.

Skubarra Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Apologies for expressing my experience here. I would prefer if you phone me with you apology
DJR Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I would prefer if you phone me with you apology You made me think of my own 2 boys, they are the most savvy with modern smartphones you could possibly be.......but are totally useless at just taking a simple telephone call and a message! The music, camera, a thousand apps, games, bbm, whatsapp, you name it, those they can do with their eyes closed and one hand tied behind their backs. But ask them to take a pencil and write down a message for their mom, they go all stupid! Weird world!
