Ok?

So I go to the events page to enter (presumably that is why you have posted the event here, so that people can enter nice and early), and it seems like entries are not yet open.

 

Am I missing something?

 

Other info that would be quite handy is:

Entry fee

Shuttle fees

Last year entries opened 1 March (and sells out fairly quickly)

 

Fee was about R900 and shuttle about R500

 

I assume the info will be updated end of Feb

Which races should one ride to get a decent Attakwas seeding?

[JanJan]

They take into account your saseeding.co.za results, so that means most of the MTB races that influence your national seeding (National & Trailseeker series). Other Dryland events, UCI points and previous Atta results also weigh in to your general seeding.

 

Just remember that the average rider at the Attakwas is an A-batch rider, so expect to be seeded further back if it is your first time riding it.

I wouldn't worry that much. Go hard out the blocks and 99% of the race is on jeep track anyway.

The above person has done 5 Attas but seeding seem to be getting worse every year.

 

As for  myself, 

Have always done Atta times of 6:30 to 8hours

This year i have ridden Knysna mtb in a good time, Karoo 2 C in sub 4 and im still in D

Seems like you need a seeding index of mid 30s from SASeeding to get into A. Don't think seeding is that important, plenty of space to overtake.
