ADM Posted February 23 Share Hello, looking for cycling companions to do some prep for 10 March. Just arrived from London, UCT grad, based in Sea Point on holiday, aiming for five hour CTCT time. Looking to cycle in morning with those of similar age (67) and fitness (we regularly go out in geater London area). Any takers? Alistair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Well after the PPA race, my seeding has now jumped to 11 and Im in the & group for the Argus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those doing PPA didn't even get a first seeding group, they held them all back until after they've presumably done some calcs off the back of that race.

ChrisF Posted February 26 Share On a lighter note .... I got seeded in 3A. Few minutes earlier than 2023, happy chappie. Starting more than an hour later with the charity groups. Now my switch to the charity group was done, and confirmed, first week of December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the racetec seeding the same as the cycle tour seeding? I have yet to receive my official seeding email because I raced last weekend but on racetec I see a start group.

throttles Posted February 26 Share I didn’t have a seeding for Argus since I did the 99er and the PPA yesterday. I’ve received nothing other than the email I got last week saying that my seeding will come out after the 99er or PPA respectively. But today I went onto the PPA Results page and I have a Start time Woohoo.. last yet 1H this year 1D with an increase in seeding index of 10points 🤨 gna query it at the expo.

If they don’t move you, see you in the start pen. Racetec also has me in 1D. Down from last years 1B with what I believe to be better results but o well, it’s still ok I guess. # would have been better but I think my days of racing tandems are gone until I start racing every weekend again. throttles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
