Karman de Lange Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Rumour has it that the real racing will be in F Group ....pheww.. i'm in E
Rider3000 Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Rumour has it that the real racing will be in F Group .... Check group F afterwards.... this is going down !!!
DJTerblanche Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 That is group F for the 170km route I presume?I almost got excited since I am in group F.... but doing the 109km route.
sub7 Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Anyone know where to get start times? Website says groups will start 3-5 minutes apart...so is it safe to rock up 30-50 minutes after the 1st group starts if in the the 11th group?

PPA + number collection = long queue. And for the bigger races they normally have a multi staging area for the chutes i.e you line up in one chute, move to the next and the following group falls in behind you. So if you cut if fine you'll be pushing through multiple lower groups to get to yours - not fun.

Breezer Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Maybe A for Acid, Lactic AcidMaybe B for BombUsually when there is leagues a and b start together. What time do you aim for Dale?
Skubarra Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Usually when there is leagues a and b start together. What time do you aim for Dale? Can't speak on Dale's behalf but my wild guess would be that he aim to finish in roughly the same time as A or B bunch (depending on which one he picks....) Anyone know where to get start times? Website says groups will start 3-5 minutes apart...so is it safe to rock up 30-50 minutes after the 1st group starts if in the the 11th group? To add to what dubber said - first mtb race of season was Wolseley, field far smaller than One Tonner, I arrived 45minutes before start, made the starting line with seconds to spare after spending the whole time in a bike board pickup queue Maybe PPA learned their lesson but if not you are going to spend at least an hour in the queue...
'Dale Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Usually when there is leagues a and b start together. What time do you aim for Dale? Aim:Top 30 percent of my starting bunch, Breezer.Top 10 percent of my age cat See you in the mix?

Was same for west coast express last year... , first race of season is always the worst. I'm just hoping sticker collection is quick, have number already
Skubarra Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Was same for west coast express last year... , first race of season is always the worst. I'm just hoping sticker collection is quick, have number already I also recall the same thing at the first race of the season 4 years ago but I'm giving PPA the benefit of the doubt here dammit..
Velouria Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Unless you know Aaron_B, he is a tough bike riderIf he gets paid to ride with a broken hand, I'm sure he'll do it I found R10 on my commute this morning - is that enough?
Sparki 1 Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Was same for west coast express last year... , first race of season is always the worst. I'm just hoping sticker collection is quick, have number alreadyim sure many peeps went to collect number already for last w'ends cancelled race. Also, PPA had registration Wednesday and Thursday this week so i think it shouldn't be too bad. however, play it safe and get there early tho'
'Dale Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 I found R10 on my commute this morning - is that enough?HeheheAs Aaron's agent, I accept ????I'll take 70 percent of this commission
Breezer Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Aim:Top 30 percent of my starting bunch, Breezer.Top 10 percent of my age cat See you in the mix?Yes, I will be in A. Hels will wake up the winter legs.
'Dale Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Yes, I will be in A. Hels will wake up the winter legs. Awesome Drive safely to Stellies
