bleedToWin Posted February 8 Posted February 8 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. MongooseMan 1
Johan A Marais Posted February 8 Posted February 8 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. BuffsVintageBikes, Akon and DieselnDust 2 1

Jbr Posted February 8 Posted February 8 (edited) 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
Jakkals. Posted February 8 Posted February 8 Eks in B…. En uiteindelik is daar weer specials op “The Hub” RustyHWR, BuffsVintageBikes and KB280DT 3

DieselnDust Posted February 8 Posted February 8 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

I think it was a factor but the following weekend so many riders would have been in taper mode I guess
Bashley Posted February 8 Posted February 8 I hope they throw those mats at the rail way crossings ChrisF 1
babse Posted February 8 Posted February 8 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
Skubarra Posted February 9 Posted February 9 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 babse, ChrisF and DieselnDust 2 1

BuffsVintageBikes Posted February 9 Posted February 9 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

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... MSA 1
