DieselnDust Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 They are competing both days. Both days are UCi registered events as well as part of the National Series.Ya I see that from the events schedule. I understood from the Facebook posts the Saturday was the provincial and the Sunday the national and only the national counts for UCI points. I figured they racing the provincial for course practice. So now I'm royally confused

Robbie Stewart Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 I am guessing the UCI crew are going to give all us locals an education of how that trail is meant to be ridden.As for Sam Gaze, I expect him to educate us in the finer details of having a tantrum... JohanDiv and samson99 2
Ferro Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Any idea of some of the pro ladies who will be in the field? Asking for a friend. Tienie 1

samson99 Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Do we need to attend the riders briefing at 16:00 on friday?What if you can't attend.
Ferro Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 See the start list posted previous page by the captain Thanks. Completely missed that.
DieselnDust Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Hi - if i can help explain please call me on 0836778481 - cheers Karl thanks, I think the explanation cold benefit everyone, unless there's politics in the back ground.....?
samson99 Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 and one final question: how does the tech and feed zone work for us normal peeps? I don't think i will be using the feed zone. Will just take 2 bottles. Thoughts?
Donovan Le Cok Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 and one final question: how does the tech and feed zone work for us normal peeps? I don't think i will be using the feed zone. Will just take 2 bottles. Thoughts? Two bottles on your bike will be fine. Otherwise, take a friend to second for you if you want to take it a bit more seriously. If you have a mechanical or puncture, you can only get outside assistance in the tech/feed zone. samson99 1
Karl Beaton Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) thanks, I think the explanation cold benefit everyone, unless there's politics in the back ground.....?ZERO politics - i just hate typing and better with my mouth ... Saturday is SA XCO Cup series 1 and WC XCO series 1 within the same race and Sunday SA XCO Cup Series 2 ( only Elite and Junior) and no WC XCO series - what this means in SA is that the Elite and Junior have six SA cup races in 2019 and other categories have four SA cup races - depending on your category you can drop one race for the points log. From FaceBook page and edited: The National Series offers all-important Category 1 UCI points and forms part of the UCI Junior World Series. Local and international competitors alike will be looking to garner points to boost their rankings early in the season. Western Cape riders will enjoy a competitive start to the year with top racers, both local and international. Sunday 3 February: A second day of racing has been lined up for Junior and Elite Riders. This day forms part of the SA Cup Series and is an opportunity for individual riders to up their UCI points. SA riders ( Elite and Jun)to race on Sunday as the points that they earn will contribute to raise the standing of TEAM SA. TEAM SA needs these points in order to be a qualify to send a team to take part in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Edited January 30, 2019 by Karl Beaton DieselnDust and Nick 2
Nick Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 and one final question: how does the tech and feed zone work for us normal peeps? I don't think i will be using the feed zone. Will just take 2 bottles. Thoughts? I'll be around if you'd like someone to pass you a bottle during the race. Jewbacca and SwissVan 2
samson99 Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 I'll be around if you'd like someone to pass you a bottle during the race.Thanks Nick. Appreciate it. But think i will stick to 2 bottles as I will probably cause an accident trying to grab a bottle. Nick 1
Jewbacca Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 I'm bummed to miss this. A funeral of a close family friend got in the way of me lying in a pool of vomit and hurt on Saturday. The course look pristine, jumps, drops and some really fast sections. (Shakes fist at the world!) SwissVan 1
samson99 Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Sorry to hear Jewbacca. Speaking of jumps - am i the only one who doesn't take the two gap jumps? The remaining jumps i seem ok with but those 2 gap jumps still need practice DavejohnClaassens and Jewbacca 2
