I agree GO, there has to be a balance between racing and the enforcement. But it seems like the organisers and marshals seem to be tipping more towards the enforcement side and also seem to be getting "itchy fingers". While the Elites it is as a job and as such are competitive, A bunch seems to be the "amateur" competitive group. I was quite near the front when I pulled out the group so I saw the numbers that past me. A group was still big. While waiting for the sweep vehicle various other groups past me from the lower start groups. These groups were very much smaller. A bunch seems to be similar to the elites in terms of competitiveness. Maybe another option would be to do some form of rolling road closure for A bunch only similar to the Elites? Or else create a new category along the lines of "Open Racing" which would only be open to registered race teams of the various clubs. That would create an A Bunch that would be less like an elite bunch but a bit faster and competitive than B but at the same time a bit more like B.

Maybe I should try get involved but there seems to just be way too much politics involved in SA Cycling at the moment. Instead of everyone working for the good of cycling they seem to be working only for themselves no matter how much hurt they do for the sport. CSA seems to be in complete shambles at the moment, a simple thing like licences is a mess!

 

Predictor, sorry to hear about that. You had a great race!

Indigo, you were 13th in your batch and you kom plane like this. You were just over 4 minutes behind the batch lead. Well done man!smiley32.gif Just keep on doing the races, and the seeding ladder will eventually catch up.

 

I came 12th. smiley11.gifsmiley11.gifsmiley11.gifsmiley11.gif

12th I say!!!!

 

Don't think this race helps much for seeding as it's timed by Championchip.

At least I had a good R4S which is timed by Racetec.

It will help

go check which races are CC events, then go to my seeding index and see the correct answer to your comment

I didn't say anything about seeding, OX said that if I continue to do races the seeding ladder will catch up.

 

CC ???

Closed Corporation races ??

CC = Champion Chip.....

never too old to learn hey

CC events are used for normal races and the seeding ladder but don't go towards Argus' date=' 94.7 etc who use their own seeding series.[/quote']

 

At the R4S race I received a pamphlet saying that Carnival was a seeding race for 94.7 & Amashova.

 

This year it doesn't look like Champion Chip will be timing as many races.

SS Timing seems to be entering the cycling world.

 

Trubie, I did say that.

I thought that the seeding for 94.7, etc all come from Racetec ?

Ok' date=' I'm never ashamed to admit I'm doff...where do we check seedings? On CycleLabs website?

Or is there another place to do it?

check superseeding tab on Cycle lab site yes

SS Timing is sh!t I think. They didn't even pick up my chip in the Komorant. Glad I got my R50 back! Maybe I just rode too fast and they weren't ready for me as a few marshals and metro were still napping in their cars waiting instead of maning the intersections. Also their times for the race were way out! So my experience of them has not been too good up to now.
