Pure Savage Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 So, the DC has been announced and on twitter the PPA have mentioned there will be a team event at the Enjoy one tonner this year! Nice addition I think. Lets just hope you get a lekker discount if you enter 12 okes!
Cadre Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 I need to pose a question about this one. 1.) I need to avoid a family wedding in Durban. 2.) Shova is on the same day as One Tonner. I enjoy Shova. 3.) The wedding is on the day before which justifies an early departure to Cape Town, like Wednesday. 4.) My question is about the race then.... Do I fly Mango or Kalula?

Pure Savage Posted June 1, 2017 Author Posted June 1, 2017 confirmed?Yes, just been confirmed via twitter. This will be a trial year. I am not sure if there will be a team category, or just start 12 okes at the lowest seeding of the 12. Lets wait and see. I asked about a discount for getting 12 people signed up per team, nada...

Do I fly Mango or Kalula?Surely you would drive over 2 days? Leave the wednesday, Arrive Thursday evening. Leg stretcher Friday.... I mean, surely you don't trust the ailrines and/or couriers with your bike. What if the deraileur gets bent in transit? Spoke damage? Seems dodgy to me.... Nah. Best to make 5 days of it and be 'race ready' without any hiccups...
Pure Savage Posted June 1, 2017 Author Posted June 1, 2017 Ok, update, there is a discount for teams entering together. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Skubarra Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 Curious how this will work in practice - DC rules for teams and normal rules for individuals with regards to drafting? Could be very confusing if different rules for different people Other than that I think its a good idea

City Cycling Athletic Club Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 it wont be a league event then like last year
Rouxenator Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Great! This has always been a DC warm-up anyway.No, it is not. This is a nice funride for all. It is not a teams only event.
billygoat0523 Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 i really wanted to do the full distance this year. the 109 km version was my very first race last year and i had to, of course start at the back. now I've worked myself up the alphabet a bit and they go do this team thing "The team category will be followed by one or two bunch start groups comprising of individual riders, and riders wishing to ride as teams who did not get an entry for the team category." One or two... ffs. so i guess it'll be the 109km once again.
Rouxenator Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Teams? Last time I checked a bicycle had one saddle and one handlebar.

Makes no sense this decision. This race was always nice to gauge how you fare against your fellow competitors in a long distance event.
