Roons Posted September 18, 2009 Share Do you need to get permission to ride the 94.7 route twice? A group of us are thinking about doing it as a training ride? I just want to know if you need to get permission to do so? How often do you get to ride Jozi streets traffic free - might as well make the most of it.

Prince Posted September 18, 2009 Share As long as you finish your first lap before the last guys start no one will know anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Worm Posted September 18, 2009 Share Just take your timing chip off when you do the second lap otherwise they'll be a bit confused when they see your name come up twice at the finish... I'm also thinking of doing a second lap this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baster Brak Posted September 18, 2009 Share You have to enter twice and then ask to be seeded in the last batch for the second lap and ride with the elites for the first lap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porky Posted September 18, 2009 Share As far as I was aware last year they asked folk NOT to ride the route twice, as they did at the Argus. Pretty sure if you contact race office they will confirm this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bateleur1 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Argus have a problem. Did not recall any issues with the 94.7 folk. As long as you start your second lap before the last group departs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idrive Posted September 18, 2009 Share Surely if you do it twice, you must pay twice. After all, you get twice the benefit of those doing one lap. Twice the water tables, twice the medical services .... etc! If you go to restaurant and order a second meal you have to pay for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frail4Life Posted September 19, 2009 Share Yes. The organisers may allow you to ride. I would pay for a second entry. I did the ride and race with permission no hiccupps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob22 Posted September 19, 2009 Share You may ride a second lap but its real tight. You need to be back before the last group leaves which is at about 9:30 If you can get off in a ealry group it will give you time to get back by 9:30. The highway needs to be opened as soon as possible so very little time is allowed after the last group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted September 19, 2009 Share My 'strong' training buddies have ridden it twice a few times....shouldnt be a problem if your timing chip is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
