This one is always a killer

I see that the Durbie Dash 90km is an official seeding race for the CTCT 2019.

 

I'm looking at getting my better half a seeding for next year's CTCT.

 

I'd like to know if doing the 45km will also be used towards your seeding index (with penalty of course)?

No

 

Only the 90 plus km races are seeding events as listed on CTCT WEB

60km same route as last year? Too lazy to check it out...

ALL races are used in the seeding index.  The 46km will get a 15 point penalty (at least) due to the distance being shorter than 60km.  Other races (greater than 60km) that are not premier seeding events get a 5 point penalty.

No, it is different from what I can tell on their tiny jpeg route map.

Here's a KML file that you can open in Google Earth.

 

It has the 90km route in it and that'll give you some decent elevation info etc.

Meh, R295 for 90km... 

 

No PPA discount either     

[Pure Savage]

Also they try rush you for a CSA fee...     

 

Good joke for a Friday Durbie Dash.

[Rouxenator]

That's cheap, I paid R390 and only got 60km... However it does come with 1800m of climbing and from previous years I do recall that it tries to break you.

 

So good value at R6.5 per kilo - I guess

I can offer you a 100km mtb ride at R5 per kilo, its on special

fun rides are too expensive now. i race those routes so often with my club for nothing. goodbye ppa

If the South Easter pumps next week like it does today the cost per minute riding time might be less than last year.

The 60km MTB route looks lame!!! 

[Andrew_Smith]

Entered for my first Durbie Dash.

 

What is this CSA nonsense day permit thing?   

At least I ranked up from Z to H, so hoping to upgrade a little bit after the race.

 

Sadly I struggled with well-being these couple of weeks, resulting in quite a loss of fitness.
