Robert can be contacted on 071 268 1928

Lets face it, the organizers do it because they make money no doubt about it. If my memory serves me correct, dont the amashova pay more to the riders than what Argus do ? Compare the numbers, 5000 Amashova Arugs 35000 - 7 times more, then the prize money should be 7 times more than what Amashova pay.

Roadstar, Thanks so much for the update !! Brad get well soon

Dear Eugene, Helen and Gaz, Brad is in our prayers and we are thinking of all of you. He is such a special young man . May he have a speedy recovery With lots of love from Blacklers KZN

One wonders ! Winningtime has been changed to "Race Tech" then you have "My RAce" Is this just a coincidence or do both companies belong to the same person/s ??

The next event in KZN, will be the Tour Durban. Not too many races in KZN this year. You can go onto the website and will give you the events cyclingkzn.co.za

Hi Gary, The race is in Richards Bay on Sunday 22 March, you can contact Seonaid Benningfield 082 452 6372 first batch off at 7am.

If race organizers put some of the money back into cycling, I am sure many riders would support the events.

Springfield used to be great, but they have built on , so not so good. I will find out ,maybe the top of the Pavilion ? I think this could work.

The reason behind this that there were insufficient "Officials" as they all in Pietermaritzburg for the Jacob Zuma case !!! There must have been around 3000 riders turn out this morning. I dont think Cycle Safe will leave it here. Watch eTV and Daily News were there too.

6 Riders were taken out this morning by a truck. Yet another Hit and Run. Not too sure of all there names , Anne Schooling has had a 2 operation and I believe not too well. Mary is in hospital with a broken leg and not sure how the other riders are doing. Reminder KZN riders, please joing the Protest ride on Tuesday morning, meeting at 7.15am at the kings Park Pool and ride will start at 8am sharp. Riding to the City Hall !!!

Wishing you a speedy recovery. My contribution done ( ref; Big mama -KZN) Please keep us posted on Bernard's recovery.

All the officials were with the racing cyclists and not the open batches, so I really cannot answer that one. The norm is that he can drop back and ride with the next batch as long as he is not contesting the sprint for prize money or assisting the riders who are racing for the prize money.

There were no officials in the open cats !! I know because I organized them from Gauteng !! Did your 18 yr old friend ride the 50km or the 105km. What I saw happen was the recreational riders who rode the shorter distance started mixing with the racing 105km riders on the M4. This is probably where the officials asked him to remove himself from the racing bunch doing the 105km. <aybe he did the sub 3 for the 50km who knows only the rider himself.

Guys, let the girl ride, The final stage is a killer, would like to see some of the Elites race it. Anyone who finished the tour needs a huge medal, it is a very hard tour. I battled just driving a car up the climbs never mind a bike !!! Ronel , yes we do need you back in the sport !!! Could I nominate you as a selector at congress???
