Results from RaceTec timed CSA sanctioned cycling events, being over 90km in length from October 2014 – 5 September 2015 are the criteria for your seeding – starting time for the Cycle Challenge! Momentum 947 Cycle Challenge 2013/2014 results will be weighted favourably. Cyclists with outdated or no previous results will then be seeded in the open seeded start group based on the date of their entry. The Cape Town Cycle Tour results from 2015 will be used for Momentum Cycle Challenge seeding purposes however it will be weighted differently due to the route being changed to under 90km. Where is the venue for this year’s Cycle Challenge? Cycle Challenge will be at Riversands Commercial Park. Where can I find the closest accommodation if I am an out of towner? We suggest any hotel or Bed and Breakfast in the Fourways and Dainfern area. MonteCasino is a great option too. How do we enter as a team? Team entries are CLOSED.

Thursday 12 November 2015 Friday 13 November 2015 Saturday 14 November 2015 What is a timing chip and why is it compulsory? · It is compulsory to ride with a RaceTec timing chip. No Chip = No Ride · The Cycle Challenge is timed by RaceTec. The chip will ensure you receive an official result on completion of the race. · You must wear your chip on Sunday 15 Nov 2015. You will require your chip to access your start pen on race day. If you are not wearing your RaceTec chip on race day, you will be required to purchase another one at the start in order to participate in the race. · If you do not have a RaceTec timing chip already, one will automatically be added to your entry. · If you would like to purchase a new timing chip select 'Purchase' option in the entry process. · In addition to being linked to your personal profile, which we access in case of a race day emergency, the organisers use this valuable data on race day to monitor flow volumes, cut off sections and road closures / openings. · Remember: if you are riding for charity / part of a team that may result in a slower finishing time, only your best results are used to calculate your seeding index for future events. As per the Cape Town Cycle Tour it will now be compulsory to wear a RaceTec chip in order to ride the Cycle Challenge this is for your safety, statistical and logistical reasons If you are riding for charity and intend riding slower than your seeding index this ride does not need to be counted and will not affect your seeding index going forward but you are still required to wear your valid RaceTec chip. Race Office hours are: Monday – Friday 08h00 – 17h00 Race Office telephone number: 011 017 2700 HAPPY AND SAFE CYCLING!
