Mamil Posted March 28, 2017 Share I actually feel there's more merit in looking good going slowly. Pfff! I'v had 60mm since I can remember. It's not about riding fast, it's about looking fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andydude Posted March 29, 2017 Share Entered yesterday evening! Thought discounted entries close wednesday 00:00 and not wednesday 24:00 Two things I'm not 100% sure of: paid R200 even though I don't belong to a club and didn't have to pay R20 for a number as it will be my first race.

andydude Posted March 30, 2017 Share Well done. Did you buy a mobi chip or do you have 1 already?I didn't buy one, because the website said I didn't have to and I'm not too worried about official timing or points ar this stage. Is that fine?

SeanMort Posted March 30, 2017 Share I didn't buy one, because the website said I didn't have to and I'm not too worried about official timing or points ar this stage. Is that fine? As far as I know you would need to get a timing chip, but please confirm this with WPCA. It's also a matter of keeping the results accurate. Results are also sometimes visually verified, and if you finish top 10 for instance, you could confuse the results and points awarded. In many past instances riders have been asked to ID other riders and their finish orders so that accurate results can be published and the correct points allocated.

And Bankie hasn't said anything to the contrary. The only thing is that I won't get placings or points. Which I'm fine with for now. But maybe I buy a chip Sunday morning.
