They use a Racetech chip ... optional to have it scanned "The issue" relates to having to take the Racetec chip to number collection, i.e. taking the timing device to registration.

Mine is permanently strapped into my shoe laces ...😋 will have to take the shoe if I want it scanned. in March most regular riders just walked past the scan booths. Very few stopped to have their tags checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W@nted Posted November 17, 2022 Share Friend went to collect my number. I was re seeded. Now my jersey number is different and they gave another frame number different to my chip number from last year. Which one do I mount on my bicycle? The new number does not have a chip in.

Deurmekaar Are you licensed? If yes, one is a race number, and the other is the timing device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not licensed, but was seeded in VB (like the previous 3 years 947). At registration they said I am not allowed at VB this year and reseeded me to A batch. Then handed me the new numbers. I assume I need to mount my old number with the chip, as suppose to the the new plastic board without a chip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing one is all you need, plus your “paper” bib number. W@nted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
117 Posted November 17, 2022 Share So what's the number board with the rfid tag in it for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Licensed riders have another board with just a number, that matches their bib number. It’s road cycling, something so simple and be so complicated. 117, ChrisF and TheoG 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, I abandoned just before the race, was sitting in the parking lot contemplating and then decided its not worth it to put myself & bike through that ... 😁 OVERDRIVE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted November 18, 2022 Share A slight head-wind going up a hill can have a cooling effect that is better than when it’s from behind; for me, that is. Chadvdw67, agilwolf, ChrisF and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because you climb faster than a mountain goat !!! Can't even ask you for a push because these idiots reseeded me and then left my number the same Must say this year the organizers have really F%$#ED everything up and it's with low entry numbers, imagine if 20k people had entered.
