Minion Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Is WW before or after the pedal power groups? Can anyone point me in the direction of the whole list of groups.The contents of the email: We have made changes to the start line-up in the interest of your safety and to ensure that the later groups cross the start line timeously. You have therefore been seeded according to the following guidelines: If you participated in any of our official seeding events (see below), we calculated your index by taking into consideration: - the distance and degree of difficulty of the course - the size of the field and - conditions on the day - combined with your race result in relation to the winner’s time. The following 2010 seeding series events were used for seeding: Langenhoven Gimnasium Pennypinchers Oudtshoorn Cycle Tour (104 km) - Oudtshoorn Herald VW Tour (105 km) - Port Elizabeth Ninety Niner (121 km) – Durbanville, Cape Town Daily Dispatch / Felt Cycle Tour (100 km) - East London Mountain 2 Mountain (108 km) - Tzaneen Bio-Anabolics Jock Cycle Classique (95 & 140 km) - Nelspruit Dome 2 Dome Cycling Spectacular (91 km) - Johannesburg Kumba Iron Ore Classic (105 km) - Upington MTN Amashovashova Durban Classic (106 km) - Durban Jacaranda Satellite Classic (97 & 119 km) MTN OFM Cycle Classic (110 km) - Bloemfontein Almec Bolt and Engineering Cycle Race (100 km) - Orkney Momentum 94.7 Cycle Challenge (94.7 km) – Kyalami, Johannesburg Die Burger Cycle Tour (98 km) - Stellenbosch, Cape Town And in addition, your time in the 2010 Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour and weighted results from the 2009 Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour were also considered during this process. In a nutshell: As long as you finished within approximately double the winner’s time in any of the above events, you were seeded favourably. We have received numerous requests to take your age and number of completed Cycle Tours into account. If you didn’t meet the above criteria we seeded you as follows: Riders aged over 75 – in group BB; Club 21 members and riders aged 70 to 74 – in group DD; Completed 15-20 Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tours – in group GG; Completed 13-14 Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tours – in group KK; Completed 12 Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tours – in group MM; Completed 11 Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tours – in group QQ; Have participated in more than one seeding event in 2010 - in group RR; Completed 10 Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tours – in group SS; Completed 9 Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tours – in group TT; Completed 8 Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tours – in group UU; Completed 7 Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tours – in group WW; Completed 6 Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tours – in group XX; Completed 5 Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tours & have an active PPA membership - in group PA Have participated in only one seeding event & have an active PPA membership - in group PA Completed 5 Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tours (no PPA membership) - in group OAHave participated in only one seeding event (no PPA membership) - in group OB If you did not qualify for seeding based on the above criteria and are a member of PPA (formerly WPPPA), you were automatically placed in the PPA category. Similarly, non-PPA members were placed in the Open category.

Tankman Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 +2 for VA. I see the ladies are racing with us this time! I might enjoy the wheel sucking view there fixed - see you in VA VA for me again, but will drop a group a two. Got slapped around too much last year in this group. Boy, this year you can get slapped around by the ladies! Sure you wanna give up that chance?

Wannabe Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 But it's not all doom and gloom - I'll be preparing to head to Philip Island to drive a 1947 MG TC single seater special in a historic motorsport weekend...a week before the Aussie F1 GP. (Where I won't be competing.) Lucky BUGGER!!!!! Enjoy it, will be an awsome experience, much better than the Argus.
Wannabe Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) E, starting 06h43.But expect to drop a group once final seeding has been done. Happens almost every year. Edited January 28, 2011 by Wannabe
