[Event] The Tiletoria PPA Elgin MTB Event - Postponed

[LeoKnight]

don't they use your PPA Mtb seeding?

 

They do, but some people only participate in few races in the year, and the road races get penalised for mtb races

[Skubarra]

 

 

Can you print your own numbers yet?!

 

When is the last time you did a PPA MTB event? We have permanent bike boards now

like .......since a year ago

Oohh... another seeding debate! Why don't they use a central seeding system? What heppened to SASeeding?

 

Can you print your own numbers yet?!

 

 

 

LOL

 

SASEEDING?? Go look sup your profile and witness the dodgy data they used to calculate your index. and they don't answer queries sent via their "contact us" page.

REally wish they would get it right. Seemed it wasn't broke then they tried to fix it and broke it

If there was anybody out there doubting the wisdom of the organisers to postpone the event, ...good call IMHO.

Was always a risk that they might have gotten it wrong, but based on the information at their disposal they made the correct call, which were validated.  Even trying to imagine how dangerous it would have been up there on Groenlandberg and coming down in the rain / snow / hail.

Anyone know if this is a GO for this sunday?

[Rouxenator]

I would say it is.

[Donovan Le Cok]

I have an entry for the 70km on Sunday for anyone that would like to do it, and if you can even do substitutes on the day. DM me if you would like it.

[LeoKnight]

Was a bit worried yesterday that the temp might make for a very difficult ride, but so far it looks like a lovely day to climb out Groenlandberg
