[Event] 99er Cycle Tour

[Hingsding]

Sorry Peeps for a couple of stoooopid questions to follow.

 

I lived in CT 13 years ago and participated in numerous Pp events. Eversince I did 10 consecutive CTCTs. Id love to participate in more events but it become quite expensive when you live 450km away from your closest event.

 

Now, how does the seeding work if you are not a PP member? Am I going to start wayyy back in the open class for the upcoming 99er or does my previous CTCTs count in any favour for a seeding? Thanks

99er does not use the PPA seeding for their seeding. One long route in the past 12 months will suffice.

Look at your seeding index on PPA's website, will give you a rough idea of where in the field you will start

[Skubarra]

OK, entered - geez this one is getting expensive

 

Work commitments kept me off the bike the last 2 weeks + loads of McD dinners so fat & out of practice me will be doing a whole lot of TT'ing on Saturday!

With a little help from the wind I might just get that Strava KOM...

Would rather have the wind helping me up the other side....

When's seeding / invitation coming?

Hoping for a lekka placing

Did this route yesterday and if the weather is anything like it was yesterday , the organizers are in for some serious trouble.

 

Road towards the N7 still very very dodgy , basically one lane only as other one is full of potholes and im not talking about 300 X300   more like 2000x1000 stuff.

There's a note on the organiser's website that the Old M'Bury Road will be patched up

 

Maybe I should roll my dual sus

They're 'patching' the holes this week apparently. Still going to be bumpy nonetheless

[Reg Lizard]

Spoke to someone at the maintenance Dept of CoCT last week and he said they were patching that section of road a week before the race

Yip

I always lose a few fillings there

Only potholes will be temporarily filled with some gravel-sand cocktail, I imagine

 

The BMX track feel will remain, especially on the descent towards N7

They were considering changing the route (due to this bad strectch) along Malanshoogte again

Hmmm

Don't feel like bumping my slipped up locked front wheel into the lower back of a fallen rider again
