Very cautious indeed! My 2h40 CTCT and 2.0 PPA seeding apparently doesn't qualify me for any category at all and since I skipped Winter League I'm probably only good for Open? 😆 Sending email now to rectify. Seeding systems never fail to deliver more than their fair share of comedy. 🤪 WaldoZ and Akon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamil Posted June 22, 2022 Share So group 5 will start at 9am? Is that right? I'm in group 2 at 7.30. to beat an 8 hour mamil to the line you, the proper cyclists need to average about 35. Which, being proper, they will easily do. If I manage 7.30 then group 5 will need 37kmph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they'll put you in the last group. Must do. Trying to work out .... I've been practicing a victory celebration at the end of every training ride for the last decade and I'm just wondering what I need to average if I'm going to get to use it on Sunday and wondering if it's worth applying for an upgrade to a 2 hour headstart. peetwindhoek and Akon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit I was scared for being seeded in Group 5… I’ll take group 4… even group 2!! BUT I wouldn’t be happy if I was group 5 and a Cat 1(ish) rider is 90min ahead… never mind 3 of them!
