[Event] Dis-Chem Ride For Sight 2016

[rc1140]

So this is a bit of a stretch (and im not sure if its correct etiquette on the form to ask), but is there anyone doing the race that could pace me.

 

I am not the greatest rider by a stretch but because I have a horrible seeding (still pretty new to road racing), I ended up doing the 62km almost solo last year. So looking for a group or someone that I can draft/tag with to get a bit of a better time.

 

DM me if you have any suggestion (will try and check regularly though)

I guess we were all in the same spot once or twice before... Just work together with the guys in your start group and pull yourself along. Improve your seeding race by race and soon you wont need to ask for help.

I'd add the two Durban classics to the list due to the nature of the route as well as full road closure.

Unfortunately work and finances don't allow me to do too many out of town races. I forgot to add kremetart. As it is the Argus is quite a costly week. But yes if I was able to those 2 would be on the cards.

14 Feb is going to be a buggerup for SA cycling? SA Champs, Rout 66 and R4S all on the same day!! Thats K@K planning.

And tankwa trek.

The starting times are out on Racetec.

I see I have a later start time than usual and later than the Argus, should I be worried about where I've been seeded, didn't think there would be that many people doing it or do they start late?

[Veebee]

starting GL - 7:28.

 

was hoping to be out earlier considering my Argus start time is 7:08.

 

But assume there are smaller bunches here with more time between each due to it not being full road closure?

See I am in VB , so I guess I will have to get my Racing license now

This race always seems to have a later start than the rest.

AL starting @6:57

Ok that seems to be about the same spread as my start times for the 2 and if Al at 657 it is quite a leisurely start

C Start ... so i'm hoping to survive that cursed heidelberg hill that A bunch rudely spat me out of last year !

[Ryno.]

Start group &, and starting with elites so it will be a matter of holding on for as long as possible.
