I think we may fall back as there is no way we are strong enough to hold the pace of those early first groups. I'm a competent cyclist but relatively new to riding a tandem and my mom is not super strong. I feel it may be abit unsafe if everyone is significantly faster than us and flying past from behind, any advice on where to start? We started in that group last year, got dropped after 500m and only managed to hang on to a group (I think G) for the last 15km. We did a 3:48 Argus so I’m hoping someone at a similar pace can indicate where they were seeded, otherwise we’re going to drop back to F or G.

There probably wont be many tandems, so if you want to ride in a smaller group and start earlier then starting in your group will probably be better but if you want to ride in bigger bunches then probably best to drop back into a later start group Anton Kruyshaar 1

Thanks Racetec handles that. You can do it at registration. There is always an admin fee payable CTLonewolf 1
WattsTheFuss Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Asking for a friend: Any way to get a better seeding, just moving a group or 2 earlier, to ride with the guys he trains with?
KingZA Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Excellent registration. Venue is lekka and everybody there was super friendly and helpful. Thank you @NicholasH & team FranE and Wannabe 2
