Using new electronic signage this year to indicate the groups that are currently loading and which 2 groups are next.

 

Should make it easier to wait in the holding area until the sign shows your group is ready to load.

Went to Registration at the Dome today.

 

I was totally underwhelmed. NO goody bag, expo weak and largely not even cycling related.

 

I was at the Cape Cycle Tour earlier this year and theirs was substantially better.

 

I fear its become too expensive to get a stall, even those that were there only offered goods at the same prices as in the retail stores.

 

What a waste of time, if you have not been, don't bother, just get one of your mates to pick up your number.

 

Sadly Disappointing.

Spoke to an LBS owner last year who said he just couldn't afford to hire a stall and the Expo and then give away stock at less than normal shop price.

Wind in Midrand is pretty hectic this morning as well - almost as bad as last night.

Last year it was chaos trying to get to the pen. Over eager Riders crowded the entrance even though they were like 10-15 groups down from what group was loading at the moment.

So if u get to the start pen early enough, and by the time people start pushing their way in, and u end up in the middle. What do you do?

Go from the side to get back in front? Or just calmly stay put and make friends with the people around?

make your way to the front on the first drag or after the climb. Plenty time to get get to the front of the bunch.
