Wannabe Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 For me doing training rides and races are completely different things, even if it is on the same road, so I am happy to pay to race. (Although admittedly doing variations of the same D'ville loop week after week is getting a bit tiresome) But if your training rides are as hectic as races maybe I should rather join your training rides Any pace is nowadays race pace for me.... On our training ride this morning, I set a few PR's up the inclines (can't call them climbs) and I still got dropped like a hot potato, so maybe you must have a look at your training buddies, get some faster ones.......
Ferro Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Think there are a few guys that try that route, but from a safety perspective I would only consider it as part of a race Agree. That's the only way i would consider it as well.
Skubarra Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 On our training ride this morning, I set a few PR's up the inclines (can't call them climbs) and I still got dropped like a hot potato, so maybe you must have a look at your training buddies, get some faster ones....... tbh I find it easier to keep up with B bunch than with my training partners . So when I enter a race I basically pay for the opportunity not to get dropped on the first climb...
babse Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Race entry for sale at 1/2 pricePM ME Struggling with my lungsI've had to get a TUE and won't race because of moral grounds shot for that 'Dale was hoping to get your steed with the entry tho
LeoKnight Posted February 22, 2017 Author Posted February 22, 2017 Unfortunately we are a bit restricted to possible routes in our neck of the woods. All possible versions has been tried at some point or the other. A nice little race that died a quiet death was the Medallion that started and finished at Techno Park in Stellenbosch. edit = If the gravel section at the foot of Malanshoogte can be tarred, it will open up a few more options. Have not seen any suggestions for SSurbs as yet
Pure Savage Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 I cannot see the reason for the massive increase, surely costs are pretty much fixed, there are no numbers to be printed. PPA being dumb here. Luckily I booked 2 months ago [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pure Savage Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Are you guys riding the league, or riding in A?We have a few in A and a large bunch in J! Was not worth the money to join the league for the 3 races was available to attend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Don't you find the league has messed up these bigger races (e.g. One Tonner, Tour De PPA) where previously all the top guys would be in one bunch (either $ or A) but now everyone's scattered all over the place. If you're not in the league and you're riding in A, the field seems to be pretty weak

But it's not as tough and won't be good preparation for the Argus. At moment glad it's a little easier as life is a little crazy at the moment! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkAre the guys in J dropping down or actual J riders? Mmm maybe I should drop one group to J. If you are many the chances of catching I is pretty good.
Mamil Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 So I see I'm now eligible for H on the basis of the Journey for Sight -- which is great but it means I'm going to have to hoes another 50 bucks for reseeding. This seeding lark is starting to feel like extortion.
