milky4130 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Current seeding isn't bad, but I doubt low enough to get into $ (which is the hope). Stellies was cancelled and 99er, with the changed route and perfect weather, the beta wasn't high enough to get me a low enough seeding. So was hoping for one last shot with Tour De PPAthey literally told me if I do well in Tour De PPA I’ll be bumped up from & to $ devocean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted February 18, 2020 Share I'll just leave this here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Md8oSWYP-pw9oekAKP_UJ3J1BpnY0astzyFXvKbR1lo/edit?usp=sharing Feel free to add yourself, but please don't break it Maybe the hubbers can form sub-groups and show everyone how group riding should be done giving it a bump Long Wheel Base and 475 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquaratza Posted February 18, 2020 Share Only ride the roadie for the next few days - if you are still uncomfortable I would suggest slicks on the mtb - if you feel uncomfortable on March 9, you are probably going to be a danger to yourself and others and you probably won't have funTook out the roadie today - did about 350m of climbing before a spoke broke (!?) haha. I'll be fine. Super excited! Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky DQ Posted February 19, 2020 Share One of the most important things to look out for is your front wheel. Don't let it overlap with the rear wheel of the rider in front of you because if he changes direction and your wheels touch you'll go down. He'll continue on his merry way though.And please do not shout Hold Your Line, and if you are in front of some Box that does shout at you ignore him/her/it/whatever. As long as your movements are controlled you will be fine. They are behind you and should be awake. If you feel someone is crowding you widen your elbows or if they are drifting across in front of you, a gentle hand on the hip does the trick. If all else fails lean against the person.

Long Wheel Base Posted February 19, 2020 Share How does $ work exactly, shouldn't you also have a racing license or apply to be in the group? I remember a year or 2 ago there was a guy on the CTCT thread with a seeding index of basically zero, and he also wasn't seeded in $ (well at least not before he complained to the organisers)Think it may have been Spoke101 you thinking about. I remember he did get it right. It was a year Nino was in $ and # was the pen right behind $ and I saw spoke in the pen. In fact IICR I took a photo of Nino and posted it and Spokes shoe was in the picture . Skubarra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted February 19, 2020 Share their mistake shouldn’t come at my cost. You and Donovan should be in $ anyway. Shouldn't be penalised for low loyalty points.Don't need you guys pulling that sub vet train along at break neck speed while us ballies are enjoying our sunday coffee ride Edited February 19, 2020 by DieselnDust Long Wheel Base, Skubarra, milky4130 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamil Posted February 19, 2020 Share That's the key ... Too many times someone 1 or 3 wheels in front reaches for a water bottle and swerves suddenly or just decides to scoot across ... I might not yell "Hold your line" but I'm probably going to yell. And please do not shout Hold Your Line, and if you are in front of some Box that does shout at you ignore him/her/it/whatever. As long as your movements are controlled you will be fine. They are behind you and should be awake. If you feel someone is crowding you widen your elbows or if they are drifting across in front of you, a gentle hand on the hip does the trick. If all else fails lean against the person.
