Marius Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Should be a fun race. For the first couple of hours at least. Does anyone have a route profile pic or at least accuate distance from last year? PPA's distance estimates always seem to be about 5% out... (By the way' date=' Maties/UCT came 5th in 2001. It was more Maties than UCT.)[/quote']

The Crazy German Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Should be a fun race. For the first couple of hours at least.

It was more Maties than UCT.)[/quote'] But I think that velouria is confused with 2003 wher Maties/Unicyc against the odds flattened Sub3(now Richard kane) and cyclelab/barloworld and took down the course record in ceres in the process Though Unicyc is long gone and maties are riding but as far as I know not with a full team and so with modest chances of a fast ride. Getting old I am still from the days willpower was hanging on at the back off the racing bunch
WorcesterWheelers Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 You can add to Daikin team as a darkhorse to finish on the podium at least...... Might not be able to climb with the "laaities" but with age comes experience, and pacing yourself over 200km takes a lot of that.... But looking at the team put together by H2C2 / UCT, they have to be favourites in my books. WW has suffered a few unfortunate losses, but we will have 4 teams out there, some more competative than others.
CVANC Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 WW has suffered a few unfortunate losses' date=' but we will have 4 teams out there, some more competative than others.[/quote'] ...and not even everyone from CW is on that 4 teams.

Verraaier.... Next year I want to put together a tandem team for the DC. Any body interested, let me know....or just keep it in the back of your head after finishing this year.... Anybody know of any tandem team entries for this year?

splat Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 PowerBar Oakley is the one to watch this year. Last year's winning team (Virgin Active/Oxygen) isnt coming down this time. 'Please note that no prize money will be awarded in the female racing team category, nor the racing tandem category, due to insufficient entries having been received in these categories'
Harley Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Top 3 to beat Powerbar/Oakley, Richard Kane, UCT
mdk555 Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Anybody know of any tandem team entries for this year? Not yet but did see this on PPA site - Please note that no prize money will be awarded in the female racing team category, nor the racing tandem category, due to insufficient entries having been received in these categories. However, there will be a special prize for the first all-female team to cross the finish line ? please be at the prizegiving!

But do not fear.... This is a notice one year in advance: WORCESTER WHEELERS / MANIC CYCLES will most definately be entering a mixed tandem team for next year. Applications can now already be done....(mdk555 - how about a sponsor for such a team? ) Applications can be e-mailed to francois@maniccycles.co.za Good luck to all on Saturday, see you all out on the road.
