Seeding is then done and in theory you should have it 3 to 4 days later. Unfortunately this entire process is out of our control and is handled by RaceTec/Finish time. K20Champ and Wannabe 1 1
MongooseMan Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Let it begin 😉 Usual “if you believe a Cape Town forecast a week out I have some nice snake oil to sell you” disclaimers, but temperature is looking nice, at least. that cross-headwind on the way back could make for a lot of people sheltering in the gutters and could reduce the echelons crossing the middle line at least 😂 ChrisF 1
mikkelz Posted February 2 Posted February 2 "No race number collection on race day." 😠 Number collection is the worst part of these races. Durbanville and Claremont as the only collection points.

Winelands, etc So we have cater for the 2 major regions: Southern suburbs and Northern suburbs

Paarl Southern suburbs CWC But yes, it is always going to be a logistical issue.
cadenceblur Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Should there not be an option for us to print our own if we choose to do so? or will normal paper not stand up to the rigours
NicholasH Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Hi That would be very difficult for us as organizers to control and get uniformity. Each race category is a different colour. The Trilogy has a different race board, etc. Also, this whole process is controlled by Racetec, not us. We are messagers delivering the message 😁 Lastly, remember the Cape Town Cycle Tour disaster when a professional organization like them tried to print race numbers on the day..... cadenceblur and ChrisF 2
Skubarra Posted February 3 Posted February 3 @NicholasH Quick question - do I understand the website correct that no substitutions are allowed? I entered early but a school activity unexpectedly popped up for Sat Morning, would not want my entry go to waste.

openmind Posted February 3 Posted February 3 The gravel route says it crosses 14 A-frames at some point - are these ridable or are we going to do some cyclocross running up and down these?

That sounds like the Klipheuwel trail, with a string of A-frames. All perfectly ridable. Patrick and his team keeps a good eye on these, or rather, members moan quickly and then Patrick fixes it the next day. openmind 1

It depends if you know your way around going over an a-frame. If you are a mountain biker, it's easy peasy. The fun part is the bumpy single track, which isn't gravel bike friendly, inbetween the a-frames openmind 1
