I think if you have some sort of proof then you can go to them to have it rectified.

 

I've got 1 race missing from my tally (they have me as doing my 20th on sunday where I have it as my 21st), I've got the pics from the missing race, but I could never be bothered gathering all the info and getting it sorted.

Unfortunately all I have is a medal. No photos.

It was on Racetec till about 2016/2017 at which point they seem to have removed old races.

Did you ride 1997 or 1998, and if so, is your result there?

Hi All

Taking another longshot here - but the last one worked out!

Is anyone travelling from Pretoria (Hatfield) on Sunday morning for the road race that may have space for an extra rider and bike?

Initial plan for Michael to get to the race has fallen through....

 

I am assuming that he starts in Elites?  What time does the Elites start?

 

[GaryvdM]

Found it!   I can email them with this 😁

Last batch starting before 08:00, does that mean the numbers are nowhere near where they used to be?

on the e-mail it mentioned 11000 odd, so nowhere near previous numbers.

thats drastically down. I wonder how many choose to do the shorter route rather and how many are just not doing it

[Sandro]

Wow! Thats like half of what they used to get.

That's still considerably bigger than any other 1-day event, besides the CTCT. The glory days are most certainly gone.
