verandapanda Posted March 8, 2018 Share Just arrived at registration and it's standing deadstill. What are the queues like? And are there queues per start group booth? Let us know how you get on? Edited March 8, 2018 by verandapanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannabe Posted March 8, 2018 Share That's why I always go on a Friday around mid day. Gives them enough time to iron out all the glitches. Shebeen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meezo Posted March 8, 2018 Share Collected number at 09:30 and then already it was 20mins to print 2 sheets so to get 35000 sheets should take $#%#$%@#$~@#^^ minutes, more than enough time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanCT Posted March 8, 2018 Share This is going to be very painful. Apparently the servers went down, but back up now. Still super slow to get a number. Edited March 8, 2018 by DuncanCT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballingCyclist Posted March 8, 2018 Share A mates dad has been there over an hour and still no number.. He is also 73 and there are no special lines for the elderly.. I can see PLENTY people riding on Sunday without their numbers, it's such an inconvenience and not everybody has the time.

T-Bag68 Posted March 8, 2018 Share I'm a wee bit concerned, Doing 3,000 numbers for a Stellenbosch or PPA tour is one thing, Doing 35,000 numbers is a new fish to fry... Hoping it gets smoothed out before tomorrow, The system they had in place for years wasn't broken, so why change it. It all used to go so well mikkelz, Ferro, Greybeard and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferro Posted March 8, 2018 Share Just received an SMS from CTCT saying that they are experiencing problems with the printing...please reg later or tomorrow. Right, so if everyone who was going to reg today now join the people who were going tomorrow anyway, isn't tomorrow set up for disaster as well?

mikkelz Posted March 8, 2018 Share Traffic on Fridays in Cape Town is not ideal to begin with, without the added pressure of the cycle tour expo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shebeen Posted March 8, 2018 Share From the "Lunch with Dave" thing on Facebook yesterday, I think that is the bit that he mentioned that they hope to have the stuff in the middle moved to the side for race day. If it cannot be done, the bunch will be split. I expect falls, if this happens.this? HdB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadre Posted March 8, 2018 Share Dear CTCT, Please give me the template for download on your website. Leave a space to enable printing. I will insert name and number that matches my hidden racetec chip number (to negate the cheat). I will print the number and provide my own safety pins. Those unable to print themselves will have to queue at the stadium. Sorry. I will tick the box where you ask if I am participating, should you need to know. If I feel like picking up the racepack I will do so...or not. T-Bag68 and Vetplant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcg Posted March 8, 2018 Share No surprises here....and typical. Thus the reason for a bad name for IT.Generally poor planning by the decision makers integrally linked to lack of investing in proper and correct infrastructure.Good thing most of us saw this coming and had planned to pick up Friday or Saturday.Queues will always be a reality....let's be realistic. Don't expect to go there an be in and out in 10min. And you probably shouldn't, I would suggest. Mozy through the expo and take it all in.Best times to collect are usually later in day, just before closing - if you can arrange that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
