Lostee Posted January 12, 2018 Author Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) I will be attempting my very first vets appearance. It's gonna be a lonely ride! Edit: Hopefully I won't fall like last year. I hear the racing is more "mature" in vets . Edited January 12, 2018 by Lostee
mecheng89 Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Probably (correct me if I'm wrong) the fastest race on the Gauteng calendar. Still in two minds as to whether I want to do this one.. seeding is taking a beating, 947 seeding was a lot weaker than anticipated (damn you Daryl!) bmw1za, umusneva and Lostee 3

One that comes up very close is Gerald's race... Any race will help with seeding, and you might get lucky since this is the first one this season... Maybe guys aren't that fit and you might get a bump up the ladder.
Ispeed_V Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Entered. Just need to ensure I make the start line Lostee 1

Lostee Posted January 12, 2018 Author Posted January 12, 2018 Dream on. All the top vets are in shape for the upcoming provincial and national champs. Haha, true! Given that, I think I should just race open on this one and try vets on another flatish one.
Underachiever Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Haha, true! Given that, I think I should just race open on this one and try vets on another flatish one.Nah, Rule #5 and see how lekker vets racing is. Long Wheel Base and Lostee 2

Jase619 Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Amped for my first one! Holiday injured the fitness a bit though, but we will see! Lostee 1

It's one of the easier races to get into vets racing. Rather start with a flatter ride as opposed to the hilly rides, especially if your climbing is not up to scratch. Underachiever 1
Blue Monster Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Haha, true!

Two years ago the A batch remained as a massive group to the end, and Racetec could not record all the finishers. I had to send garmin file to get a result. Large group in vets (usually smaller than alphabet soup) is much better than large group in alphabet soup. Vets tend to have better skills, but the racing is hard, but fun.

jcza Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Nah, Rule #5 and see how lekker vets racing is. It will be fun they said Underachiever and Lostee 2
Underachiever Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 First race as a non-member of CyclingSA for me. #BoycottingIncompetence Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI have less years racing left, so cave in to the pressure to register and race again... against me also wanting to teach them a lesson...

Underachiever Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 It will be fun they said It is fun eating your breakfast twice. At least muesli and bananas tastes the same the 2nd time around. Lostee, jcza, bmw1za and 1 other 4
