no calves Posted June 5 Posted June 5 Help!!!!!! I cant seem to add the SASeeding Ticket to my name on howler. Any idea what i am doing wrong?
dexterdent Posted June 6 Posted June 6 I also had that issue - you need to use a different email address for the SAseeding thing. I spoke to the organisers and they were aware of the issue, but said the workaround would not cause problems later.
BuffsVintageBikes Posted June 6 Posted June 6 Sadly this race date conflicts with the Vine & Views race in Vredendal which is also the WP Champs. Would love to have done both 😔 Skubarra 1

Jbr Posted June 6 Posted June 6 (edited) keen to hear when anyone has info about the cars transfers. I'm most likely going to be on my own on this one so will need a car transfer from franschhoek to hermanus on race day. Last I checked it wasn't yet available. Edited June 6 by Jbr

Leave car in FH, get family to pick you up in Hermanus. Do a Sunday recovery ride to FH to pick up your car. 😆 PS. 100% typed this as a joke, but it's looking like a good idea to me... Jbr 1

So we could go to hermanus friday evening, I drive saturday morning to the start and then the next day I go get the car back, and then bring the family home later in the morning... but we'd need a nice late checkout though, because cycling to FH on a recovery ride and drive back before 10 will be a bit tight
Chingy182 Posted June 18 Posted June 18 Hi guys, Just a question on this race (and perhaps in general). Noticed last night that GPS devices are required for this race. How does this work? Essentially the race is not well marked or at all? Never done this before and have always just used my Garmin watch for rides and races. Do you simply just upload the GPS file to your bike computer and go? Wanting to enter this race, so can borrow a GPS device from a friend if needs be.

Unless something changed from last year you wouldn't need a GPS device, last year the route was marked. KeenMTBer 1

I think they just say this because they want people to load the route in case of someone tampering with signage etc. KeenMTBer 1
Hilton. Posted August 26 Posted August 26 This is my closest approximation, using the updated changes shown in the email last week: .fit file. Should work like a .gpx Race_to_the_Sea_Route_2024.fit
Hilton. Posted August 26 Posted August 26 Here it is on Ridewithgps.com : https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47243894 I had to approximate a straight line on the rolling gravel road a few k's from the finish, for the updated 2024 route.

Thanks Hilton, got in contact with them as well and they said they will email the official GPX on Wednesday
Michael S Posted August 26 Posted August 26 Looks like the weather is playing along for the day! Should be a great day out, JohanDiv and KeenMTBer 2
