Hi All AfriCycle-Tours plan to take yet another group of young riders to Europe in 2014. Riders in the u/16 and u/18 male age groups are invited to join the group. The planned tour will take place from the 26th of June untill the 9th of August. As in previouse years we will be based in the town of Geleen (Netherlands) in the province of Limburg. Attached you will find a tour program as well as a breakdown of the tour costs. The tour will only take place if we have a minimum of 7 comitted riders by the 15th of May as we have to pay deposits for accommodation and transport by then. Total Cost for the tour = 3000Euro (All inclusive) 50% payable by 15 May. It is important to note that the cost is estimated in Euro due to the ever changing exchange rate. Riders will be taking part in 6 official age category races. They will also parttake in weekly racing on Landgraaf, a local circuit where al age groups race for plus minus 90 minutes. The average speeds at Landgraaf range between 42 and 47km/h. Riders will also parttake in a weekly Track race with their road bikes on a 500m outdoor track. 60minutes of racing again all ages, at average speeds between 40-45km/h will hone their bunch racing skills. All of the above is in preparation for the Tour de Assen.This is a 6 day tour in their age groups. With over 130 riders racing for yellow. http://www.europeanjuniorcyclingtourassen.eu/ Riders will also be treated to a day trip to the 2014 Tour De France. Riders that are serious about this opportunity, but do not have the funds and wish to do some fund raising, can contact me info@africycletours.co.za so that we can talk about a motivational letter to look for sponsors. Hope to hear from you soon. Kind Regards George Stroebel 0824424988 info@africycletours.co.za
