bleedToWin Posted February 8 Share 2 minutes ago, MongooseMan said: Makes sense, though I think the general confusion is that a lot of people (including myself) have a much better index than last year (even taking penalties, etc into account), and yet have dropped 1 to 2 batches. Oh well... Likely due to the mentioned lack of clashing events this year there are more strong riders entered filling the first 3 groups.

Johan A Marais Posted February 8 Share Relax and enjoy your seeding - I am in "R" for Really WTF? 🤪 In what world did I ever?! Will try to change it, but if not possible, I will be riding my MTBike on the trails come Saturday.

Bub Marley Posted February 8 Share 11 hours ago, K20Champ said: Still not convinced that the whole FinishTime timing system and seedings is at the level it should be. 2022 seeded in the A - finished with the winner of the group 2023 seeded in the B - finished with the winner of the group 2024 - Seeded in the C group - Strange Did you do any other races after last years 99er?

Jbr Posted February 8 Share I gave away my entry but still got a number 😅 Weird thing is that number is pretty high although still in $ group, I don't think the guy I gave it away to qualify for that group but also I'm usually closer to single digits numbers. Who knows what's going with Finishtime's seeding, just hope they don't surprise me with CTCT seeding Edited February 8 by Jbr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted February 8 Share In B… see y’all inthe douches 16 hours ago, Skubarra said: Mine is also lower than I expected, but possibly entries were high and the field could be stronger than usual. Past few years the 99er date clashed with nationals & some other big races, this year only Tankwa? it used to clash with the first round of the WP XCO but that’s not massive numbers ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a factor but the following weekend so many riders would have been in taper mode I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babse Posted February 8 Share Reg was smooth. Lekker trap from parking area to the collection desk but no biggy. Greaful for the south collection point... saves a lot of stress on the morning. ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubarra Posted February 9 Share Heard there are 2000 entries on the long route, increase on last year. Very glad for the organisers and it would explain the lower seedings DieselnDust, babse and ChrisF 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffsVintageBikes Posted February 9 Share Rather interesting to hear the numbers are up yet the biking industry is taking major shots. It contradicts what's happening in the market. ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It contradicts what's happening in the market. Who's taking shots? It looks to me like it's booming judging the prices of new bikes, helmets, shoes etc...
