I have a black MET helmet, no problem in summer

Racetec was not used

I havent got one i ordered on the 14th of this month

As i said earlier i had to leave the event early so i didnt manage to get the finish.

. . .

One rider from Nu Water/Cape Town Market managed to get away from the main bunch, in head-wind conditions many attempted to bridge the gap to the breakaway but only one Smith & Associates rider managed to get across.

Race started at Cycle Lab Paarl. With Paarl Rock and Taal Monument as an amazing backdrop. The Elite bunch set off to start the 110Km course at 10:30am. All the big CPT teams pitched up, this was sure to be a tough race for all.

Okay well, im u18 so i cant change it to Public. I will post a few of the better ones on here, or if you really want you may add me on facebook.

Precisly, the guys that are backing the PPA on here act like PPA are gods, PPA has helped up and coming riders in SA just as much as CSA has.

Here's the link to my album of pictures from the race: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10200130667490273.1073741855.1258252442&type=3 I had to leave early so i didnt get the finish

All great things start out small

7-Days till D-Day!

The guys in the WPCA that control the prize money are directly linked to the money going to the youth festivals, I represented WP at the last Eric van Enter there ever was 3years ago, ive been back up to Gariep for the last 2 years and went to Oudtshoorn last year. WP have had atleast 2team(6riders) in age categories from U14 all the way to Junior(U18) yes, WP struggle to get money every year to pay for those whom arent as fortunate as myself. But trust me if the WPCA board thought that some of the money made from Winter League needed to be used for youth festivals they wouldnt hesitate.

Would love to see how everyone would speak to eachother if we used our birth names on here. Some people would soon realise that they actually no nothing about what goes on behind closed doors in our sport and that some people are telling people that have a huge influence over what happens in our sport that theyre wrong.

Its a pity both Gariep and the Oudtshoorn have made their distances so long, i get that SA Cycling is trying to get on par with European cycling but instead of taking the Junior raod race from 100km to 150km, take it from 100km and then up to 115km, slowly build it up. Ive represented WP as an U14 and as an U16 for two years, and last year was terrible, we're made to travel for 10hours, just to be told we must race 105km(or more i cant quite remember) as U16s, and not just race it we must do it after we had down a TTT of 20km is the morning and the Road Race starts at 1pm and those of you that have been up to Gariep you know how hot it can get. Because of last year, i dont think WP are even sending a team up this year.
