Blue Monster Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 What re the entries like so far?Will the original time table apply, and if not what is it likely to look like?Just a suggestion, but if categories need to be combined, would it not be possible to drop the open seeded race, and have age group starts like what used to be done at the Kremetart. Or will this be a problem with the Vets racing guys having a licence?

Will confirm once entries closed and post on here.
Imploder Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 Any idea where the full results will be posted ?Were these ever posted?
Frosty Posted July 14, 2017 Author Posted July 14, 2017 Calling Frosty on this one.... The entries will determine the categories in a big way though. Will confirm once entries closed and post on here.Online entries closed at 12:00 today.47 entries received - with a few non-payments. A good mix of Youth, Elite, 30-39, 40-49 and Open. No ladies and only one 50+ I know a few line entries from the south, but anyone in the PTA area needs to get through to Voortrekker Monument to make the second event as successful at the first one.
Frosty Posted July 14, 2017 Author Posted July 14, 2017 Were these ever posted?No, never posted. I received some results, on Wednesday this week, back from the officials - with a few queries. I'll try upload these results tomorrow, so everyone knows where they stand. edit: it isn't full results - only the top 10 in each category were identified. I have Elite and Vets, but incomplete open group. Hopefully I'll get the start lists back, so I can go through it all.

Eon du Plessis Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 Will be there tomorrow. Probably getting my ass thoroughly handed to me, but looking forward to it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Frosty Posted July 15, 2017 Author Posted July 15, 2017 I'm planning to ride (at the back of the group) with my GoPro capturing some "in the bunch" videos/stills. I was going to mount in on the seat post (facing backwards), but you might not see anything, until I get lapped. Hope the organisers allow it...

We could get some nice combined video shots to promote this series. Think the organisers should take a leaf out of the TDF commissionairs modus operandi and let this slide...
the_roadie Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 Is there a cut off for registration tomorrow? Or you can register anytime before your group starts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Vetplant Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 Wow, my first Crit and that was super intense. I was blown away after just 4 laps! Struggled just to hang on at the back of the group. I will have to significantly improve if I want to ride along next time.

When I have 50W extra in the tank!

When I have 50W extra in the tank! Agreed! That bl**dy hill climb thingy didn't help either, man I toasted some matches on that thing.
Blue Monster Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 Was an awesome event.I will post a few pics in the morning.I managed to be involved in the main bunch up to 20 min, last 10 min solo. We see what happens in 2 weeks time.
