SurferChild Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Can't wait for this race. This is such an awesome event and extremely well put together!!!
Frosty Posted January 29, 2016 Author Posted January 29, 2016 geraldm24....Any chance you guys are going to be the pioneers of letting us print our own numbers instead of driving to a bike shop? You know you want to.Show them how it is done! I would love to say it's possible but it's currently being blocked by the race officials. However, I have another solution that I think will work even better (I just need to get through the next few months). Emperors Classic is now also on my plate...
HairyLegs Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 I would love to say it's possible but it's currently being blocked by the race officials. However, I have another solution that I think will work even better (I just need to get through the next few months). Emperors Classic is now also on my plate...I got excited and thought that maybe it has been taken away from ASG (like the way they stole it from the Edenvale club), but alas, I still see it is still on their website.

Long Wheel Base Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 I got excited and thought that maybe it has been taken away from ASG (like the way they stole it from the Edenvale club), but alas, I still see it is still on their website.Ahh man how cool would it have been if ASG had been dumped. Entry fee halved and much better organisation. One can only dream as this one is on my doorstep. Luckily I ride to and from the start because with such a steep entry I can't afford the fuel[emoji1]
Frosty Posted January 29, 2016 Author Posted January 29, 2016 The difference is that our race doesn't have to make profit to pay someone's salary.
Frosty Posted February 1, 2016 Author Posted February 1, 2016 Gatvol of being seeded in the wrong group and find yourself in different groups at different races? Well let me take the time to explain how we will seed the race: 1. Upon entering, you have the option to include your current PPA/Cycle Events seeding. As long as you provide it, we don't need to ask them for permission to use it (it's your data provided by you). The PAIA (Access to Information Act) requires you to give permission to use data, which is why we have to ask. 2. If you did last year's event, then you'll have a time and index value based on the winning time for each distance. 3. You will also have the option to include your 947 and Argus times. With the above data, we take the BEST result and seed everyone accordingly. Don't think that you can cheat and add a lower value, as I have a way to double check. The placing in groups is then dependant on the number of entries received, with the groups split evenly (open groups) to ensure groups A-L are filled. Groups will be limited to the following max numbers: AL - 150BL - 180CL - 200DL - 220EL - charity groupFL to LL - 300 Obviously the group sizes will be smaller if the number of entries are less than anticipated.Licensed groups are seeded too but this is only used if the max number of entries per batch are reached. As always, if you have a query, you're welcome to ask me, but respect that I work for a boss and do all this in my spare time.

Their biggest drive is to ensure that as many women as possible can have breast screenings, to prevent undetected breast cancer.

Building their cause, they are excited at being included as one of the charities for the Carnival City Macsteel National Classic Cycle Race. Want to show how big your heart is? Why not join the Muscle Riders, it’s easy simply add a charity page to your entry, set your target and get raising, every cent counts!

SPCA have now also got in line with the #RideForACause Campaign, using all funds raised to assist in the fight against cruelty to animals. SPCA works hard not only to care for abused animals but also to educate communities on how to care for the animals entrusted to them.
