Red Robin Posted October 21, 2022 Share They have seeded the short 35km race too, I am in D.Ā Children automatically with me I think as I entered them as minors and have not received any other emails for them. They do actually have their own seeding though as they did Trailseeker before but don't think that is looked at as they have to ride with an adultĀ at all timesĀ which I totally agree with.Ā Ā Ā TheoG and 117 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have colour coding for the number entered/completed. White <10 Yellow 10-14 Blue 15-19 Red 20-24 Green Road/MTB double Not sure what the colour will be for those that have done every event. Ā edit: Peak Timing are only doing the timing. The organisers are doing their own seeding. so not the same timing board as last year ? they've given me the same race number as last year though.

I amĀ confused as I gave away myĀ road ride Jobug entry last year as had Covid and couldn't trainĀ but I got a message a while ago saying seeing as I had entered last year and received a number andĀ bracket freeĀ and the number will stay with me but I never received it as didn't do the race. Also did the MTB last year andĀ think I used the boardĀ from 2020 mtb. But IĀ presumed I would useĀ thatĀ this year as also doing the MTB one.Ā Ā I am not sure if you use the same boardĀ for mtb and road even though it is only the 35km one AnywayĀ I bought another board just in case for road but will only get that after MTB as expo is after.Ā Ā Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itās the same timing board as before. The same technology that is used in the runnersās bib number is used in the Faces timing board, which is why anyone with those big square, white, antennae can read the timing chip in your number.

It itās the big number that goes in front (as per MTB regulations), then itās not the same. Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoG Posted October 21, 2022 Share Since it will be my first 947 MTB & Road ride, I need to buy a "timing board".Ā But its not working on here: https://ridejoburg.co.za/timingchip/ I enter my details and then nothing happen after that.Ā Anyone know what the issue is? Would also like to know if I can use the same number/board for both races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā Nope, the mtb is a small board for the front of the bike. It is a small board (which is great) but it is a different number to the road race.Ā Its clever - they make you pay for two boards for both rides, instead of using the same board for both.

Ā No it doesn't look like that. The mtbĀ is the one with theĀ biggerĀ numbers that goes in front like you described. OK so I am glad I bought one for the road also. I will email themĀ and ask if you useĀ the same number for both races out of curiosity.Ā Ā Thank you.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a very efficient collection system and its easy enough to buy a board.Ā I'll give you mine, maybe they can link it to your profile when you collect the race pack? If not, then just buy a new oneĀ š I tried last year to have the same board for both races - wasn't possible unless I missed a step somewhere Red Robin and TheoG 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
