Mamil Posted November 16, 2018 Share True story but at least I'l be able to claim improvement - first time I did this race three years ago I got dropped before the right turn after the start, the second time I suggested to everyone in the start chute that we should all play nice and help the mamil along which also didn't work - held on to halfway up conters ...... --- #mamilcanonlygetbetter Why bother?

MDJ Posted February 19, 2019 Share Ppa seeding is up to C ... but thinking ill start in e or f Why not start in C and have more options after Vissershok . I made the mistake of dropping from A to B for the 99er and then landed up with a mechanical wishing I hadn't. Its all good fun though - see everyone at the start line Karman de Lange and Mamil 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
