I say that every time and then we're off and I try smash it. First one about 5 years ago and was pleased with 4.59 on my momsen mtb. 31 minutes ago, Jewbacca said: 4:30, but it was NOT a good set up and my left crank arm fell off 3 times. I have a pretty sexy BMX setup now. I can actually sit and pedal - sort of and the gear ratio is a million times better. Sub4 if the weather is good should be good. If I feel good I will go hard and try get as close to 3:30 as possible Ha ha... What a scream. 3.30 on a bmx.... I just bought myself some dark horse 50mm rims after I bust another spoke and this time split the rim on my oem bontragers and I'd like to be 20 mins ahead of you. Embarrassing really.

DieselnDust Posted September 19, 2021 Share 1A@6:29 a enalty must have been applied since CTC T2020 was my last race of the seeding event pool. Not enough loyalty points again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleedToWin Posted September 19, 2021 Share 1 hour ago, Karman de Lange said: nope.. 10 points penalty. I also see they again forgot to reset the beta for CTCT 2020 to 1 , still on 0.89 .. (and all CTCT must be 1 as its the base events) I got seeded on 99er of 2020 . racetec really really really need to get there seeding sorted. but ja.... not topic for this thread. CTCT has a penalty for your RaceTec seeding, as used for sportives or other events, but not for CTCT itself since it's a seeding event. It's a bit of crackpot, but that's how it's suppose to work. Your RaceTec seeding only gets used if it's better than your best premier seeding event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is definitely a sub 3 group, provided the weather is good. Luckily it's still one of the groups where there will be plenty guys willing to work.

My most recent result is a mediocre CTCT 2020 time where I was dropped in the first 5km. If they check again I might just be dropped down 10 groups..

(not trying to be negative, just pointing out reality) That kinda takes a big stinky dump on the "premier" label attached to the so-called "premier seeding events". The idea is (supposed to be) that organisers assume you can replicate your performance from a premier event regardless of how much time has passed. ????♂️ Grateful for my Winelands result in the rain now!

billygoat0523 Posted September 20, 2021 Share this reminds me of a reply i received from an unknown Racetec employee in 2019: "Hi. The 99er is a seeding event, while the Cycle Tour is not. That is why the Cycle tour has a bigger penalty." Sent them a screenshot of the CTCT website which states that the CTCT is a premier seeding event and eventually phoned and spoke to Janine who was much more helpful than this anonymous person and sorted my seeding out. some people there know what they're doing, others not.
