[Event] 2019 Tour De PPA

[Akon]

Eish. Entries already closed. I am used to entries closing on Wednesday or Thursday...

To be [a late on the day entrant] or not to be 

 

Agree...

 

They send an e-mail out yesterday for entries, and then it is closed already?

 

E-mail them, requesting that they re-open it.  I did.  If enough of us do so, maybe they'll be inclined to:

• Do so;
• In future, always list the closing date&time.

 

here's hoping!

I have now also emailed them.

Sending event details in emails in not the way to go. Why would you mention pre-registration on pedal-power event page and not give further details and also lacking to post the unusual early cut-off on the bike-hub post.

I know, saw that after the online entry system told me that entries are closed.

Won't be able to go to pre-registration. I have till Sunday to decide if I want to race or not.  

 

Rage Off

I was undecided about this one, not being able to pre-enter has likely made my mind up. Closing pre-entires on Monday for a normal (i.e. not huge) road ride on the Sunday seems a bit quick and earlier than usual. Anyone know why?

Agreed, normally the thursday??

Plus in an enormous miscarriage of justice my seeding sms says I'm in F but as everyone knows, I'm actually a C rider these days. Sickening. Outrageous. Prejudicial.

Must be about managing work flow, administration burden 

Especially a few weeks before the Cycling Festival.

i emailed racetec asking when they will include the 99er in the seeding results...  no reply but they did update it since then.  guess it was too late before they sent out the seeding.  Mamil will you go for re-seeding or still start in F?

[Mamil]

I reckon MDJ hits the nail on the head when he suggests that the higher seeding group gives more options after the inevitable dropping on Vissershok or heaven forbid on Contermans before that ... which wouldn't be the first time. 

 

Where are you seeded BillyG?

E... but will probably drop down.  my problem is that i don't really have legs for the first 60 to 90 mins, even with a warm up.

... btw, the weather is looking real good for Sunday.
