At the weekend's Herald, I rode in the Open Seeded, instead of the racing vet batches. Lekker, I'm starting there as well so will see you in the start chute HdB 1

I currently have a 21 seeding so expecting to be in 1A based on current results. What would i need to get to to jump into one of the racing cats?

I'm not riding August in March but as a guideline, the past two races I got BL start with a 15 seeding. I see I am now back in "AL" with a 11.89 seeding based on Ride for Sight (already on PPA seeding webpage) Edited February 20 by Spinnekop

The CTCT is the one race where I'm actually uncomfortable with a higher seeding than my capabilities on the day. 🙂 You basically go all out (uphill and downhill) trying not get a heart attack and ignoring all the beeping from your HRM to stay in the bunch until you drop into Constantia...

It's been worse in previous years but I've always ended up in this group since I turned 40. If you are in A group for PPA seeding which is 0 - 15 then you should be able to make the leap to the racing cats. DieselnDust and Bub Marley 2

Men’s age group prizes for age groups 50-59 will be awarded from this group only. https://www.capetowncycletour.com/seeding-faqs/ DieselnDust 1

They stretch it out max 300 so between the two age groups they generally take the top 150 seeded riders from each age cat that have entered. So a seeding <20 isn’t a guarantee a rider will get into &. an “A” seeding or index <14.99 will deliver a racing group start 99.9% of the time at 95% confidence. Index <12 is a 100% at 100% confidence ( which statistically is impossible but just wanted to emphasise even so ,1A and 1B are pretty good groups as well. Just stay off the front for the first 60km MongooseMan and Spinnekop 2
Bub Marley Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Ya will see how this weekends race goes but Im feeling quite strong. Obviously if there is rain, will probably change everything as I won’t risk it. I suppose the bigger question is do I even want to be that high up? 1A should be plenty strong anyway. ChrisF 1

Get that seeding UP there ... Weather (or whatever) dependent you can always start later 👍 Wishing you all the best for a fast and clean event throttles 1
