no calves Posted June 5 Share Help!!!!!! I cant seem to add the SASeeding Ticket to my name on howler. Any idea what i am doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexterdent Posted June 6 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffsVintageBikes Posted June 6 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbr Posted June 6 Share 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.

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...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chingy182 Posted June 18 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they just say this because they want people to load the route in case of someone tampering with signage etc. KeenMTBer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollyinnes Posted August 26 Share Anyone have the GPX file for the 2024 updated route? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilton. Posted August 26 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilton. Posted August 26 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
