100Tours Posted September 19, 2016 Share No number collection outside of business hours.. That seems a little unfair on people who work don't you think. nonky and Long Wheel Base 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted September 19, 2016 Share I have been told by Patch that I WILL be doing this one VA .Wonder why ASG races are so much more to enter than the rest. Imagine what argus entry would be if it was ASG................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eon du Plessis Posted September 19, 2016 Share Does this race count towards 947 seeding? Thanks in advanceYes, but only if you request a reseed at the 947. nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchelicious Posted September 19, 2016 Share I have been told by Patch that I WILL be doing this one VA .Wonder why ASG races are so much more to enter than the rest. Imagine what argus entry would be if it was ASG.................YAY. When I asked ASG people about this, they said the higher cost was because they wanted to give better service hence they incurred more costs. Fair enough. But to be honest, not allowing for after hours collections is not acceptable. If they want this, they should allow self registration. Can you confirm where it says this? I entered a few races in one sitting last month: Wilro - R230Amashova - R390 (full road closure)ASG Satellite - R355Carnival - R320Argus - R510 (full road closure) Just for info.

All is forgiven, saseeding.If you haven't entered yet, I'd suggest having a go at the 80km. If you're reasonably fit, you'll end up with a good enough seeding to get yourself ahead of the charity bunches. nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rode wilro 114km from CL group over the weekend and survived in the absence of anything resembling a bunch or a draft. Definitely want to get closer to some peeps willing to share the load.

Slakkepas Posted September 19, 2016 Share Go add your non ASG results to their seeding system otherwise you might have a problem and start at the back. My index was 26 before I added now it came down to 12. Last ASG event I did was Satellite last year Edited September 19, 2016 by Slakkepas nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted September 19, 2016 Share Does this race count towards 947 seeding? Thanks in advanceYes Not for 2016, but only if you request a reseed at the 947.Corrected - the last seeding event for this year's 947 was yesterday (Wilro). But Eon is correct in that you can apply for a reseed (at a cost) and provide them with proof of results - at registration. nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
