"That cancels on me" .. delete that partner, one does not need that kind of negativity ... :whistling:

Whoah, whoah, whoah... 

To set the record straight here. 

"That" riding partner has NEVER cancelled a ride, but funnily enough has been "cancelled on" NUMEROUS times.

Seeded EL. I wonder if they are using Fast One seedings as yet, I doubt they will be on the system. Pedal Power website is down so cant check.

 

Please can everyone remember to stay on the left hand side of the white line so as to avoid causing crashes in the bunch when the muppets push back into the group due to oncoming cars?

 

Safe ride guys and girls.

Fast one is already on ppa website[emoji106]

You must have received a dodge email. Mine says CL fourways in Friday.

 

Not the one we received with our seeding  - because that I only received today and my post was from before today ....I received that one with my payment on the 7th Jan

Won't happen if groups merge on or before the Steps; and from the turn towards Suikerbosrand's back door the wind puts the bunches on the right-hand side for a good few KMs.

 

Fun and games.

Go ride right at the front of the group then you won't be affected by the riders pushing in or riding on the wrong side of the line  :ph34r:  :whistling:

Seeding, for those that have a hard time working it out, works as follows:

 

Everyone on the database gets an index value according to PPA/Racetec's formula.

 

Depending on the number of people entering each race you could be in BL for a small race and in DL for the next one (much bigger).

 

Everyone is ranked in ascending order according to your lowest index value.

 

If Race A decides to split the groups at 150/batch and you are ranked 301 then you'll be in CL. Likewise for race B who splits the groups at 200, your ranking value of 301 places you in BL.

 

Bear in mind that even if you got the same time in one race it doesn't mean that is your best index value.

 

My current best index is the 2015 R4S, only because I rode VB. Even with the 7 penalty points, it's still my best result. The fact that I chose to ride Open Seeded for the other GP races last year with my club mates will come back to haunt me one day when the penalty makes it greater than another race in Open Seeded.

When the big VIP group which contains some very strong riders catches the bigger groups in front it starts. The riders in the caught group tuck in and it gets massive.

They've usually shed me by Alrode and I get caught in the mixer of groups behind.

 

This year it looks like i'll be 62km VIP and just be getting in the way of pink tassels and baskets.

Hi Jaco

 

Hulle het 'n registrasietent waar jy sondagoggend voor die wedren jou nommer kan gaan haal. Heelwat mense, insluitend ons van Potch, maak daarvan gebruik.

Baie dankie vir hierdie inligting, ek waardeer dit. Ons sal sorg dat ons redelik vroeg daar is.
