Seeded for E, but might be helping push people back in X. Not fit enough to hit Sub 3 this year, might as well enjoy the ride and help others actually finish. 

I'll be waiting.

Still haven't received any comms from them w.r.t my seeding.

Is mine so low they're still going through the Chinese alphabet? ????

Did you actually enter this year, or just assume that the carry over would be enough?

Nope. Followed the correct procedure.

I think physically I'm good, judging by last week's efforts with Pritzen, but I don't think my head is in the game after no racing for all these months.

Any chance this Sunday has a ride with 32ish avg? Keen to join a ride near East Rand

I'm out at 8;25. Assuming the load time of 8:05 is when they will put us in the start area?

Friend of mine is starting 15 minutes earlier. Gives me something to chase. @Chadvdw67 I am coming for you ????

Hau, just because I am fat doesn't mean I am the dangling steak in front of the shark...

I feel exactly the same ,although not sure i am fit enough for a suffer fest and my head certainly isn't in the game to go to the hurt locker for 3hrs .The last race I did was 94.7 2018. Think there seeding is a little generous ( reads sadistic) .

Can you just drop back or do you have to officially apply? Waiting for a mate to get his email for his group .

You can drop back with no issues. You can't skip ahead of your start group

why i ask if you have to apply to drop back ? Is it a Covid regulation?  I know you can’t go forward and hell I wouldn’t want to go to A ????

If you're late to your batch, you're late. 

I think that mail is aimed at riders getting a s-batch seeding but believe that they should be higher up (as example) cause they don't want to ride with the slow, weekend warriors, cause #Stravaaaaaaaa
