  2. Event Name: East Side CritsWhen: 28/05/2023Where: ChloorkopMidrand, GautengCategory: RoadJeremy and CGC have been running with these "Training" events for a while now. They are not official sanctioned events with podium etc. They are however a bunch of fun and riders would drop in from all over Gauteng on a Sunday morning and fit a crit into their morning outride. Although these are not official events with podium etc, CGC and Gauteng are using these Crits as part of their talent identification for SA Youth Road, Time Trial and Criterium Champs that will be taking place in East London in July. With enough rider support or a solid sponsor willing to back the initiative, these will become sanctioned events and a regular on our Gauteng racing calendar. You will find toppies, dads and moms doing the C batch with the younger youths. The older Vets and masters racing snakes in the B batch mixing things up with the youths U15's and U17's. And then of course there would be representation from a number of our road teams mixing it up in the A Batch race. Even if you do not think you would want to race, plan your Sunday morning outride so that you can stop and support the guys racing. If you enjoy road cycling, this is certainly fun to watch. There is usually a coffee vendor in the vicinity. This week's distances. C category 30km B category 40km A category 50km The distances are longer than previous events  Last time there was a coffee vendor and ambulance present, Gave me a warm fuzzy feeling :) Enter on the day. https://www.facebook.com/groups/553135972724044/permalink/972103410827296/ Go to Event Page.

  5. Where do I find a set of front and rear QR end caps for Reynolds AR58/62 in SA?
  6. New riders always welcome at HNP. Remember to book, although I spotted a booking from someone New. Must be you. Have fun. Jeremy is doing a track intro session on Saturday morning. That opens all kinds of doors to join coached sessions and race.
  7. Entries open 1 Aug 2021 Watch our web site for mote details https://hectornorristrackcycling.co.za/
  8. I am sitting here watching omloop on GCN now. They must have gotten it sorted.
  9. If you were wondering what exactly an Omnium is. This is where Road and Track cycling meet

We had some awesome racing yesterday with 5 batches fighting things out for the various titles at Joburg Omnium There are more than 6 hours of racing that you can watch here The points races, last races of the day were the deciders in the Elite Men, Junior men, Elite ladies and Masters men Races. Exciting racing to watch. Batches were Mixed Youth Masters men Junior men Open ladies Open men (Elite) https://youtu.be/1gXEOmzVrZM
  11. If anyone finds themselves in Imola area and want to go ride some of the rout, try Cremonini bike in Imola for a rental. They are a Giant concept store situated in the village center. I rented a bike from them in Feb .
  12. What is the best platform to subscribe to for watching cycling races? I already have VPN sorted
  13. Did you manage to get sanctioning and SAPS categorisation for this event?
  14. Must be a membership because actual Race licenses work on calendar year.
  15. I found it best to ask on the hub if you are looking for something specific. Found the first two momsen’s that way. Also sold them here on the hub
  16. Buy 2nd Hand and sell on again, that way you are not going to burn that much money. My kid is 13 and still riding 2nd hand, this year he will be on a 26” that is also 13 years old. Good light 2nd Hand is better than a heavier new bike. Let’s hope they get to ride a bit at least.
  17. Hi Lookinh for a pair of hoods for shimano 105 shifters Think they are 9 speed from around 1999-2000 This is for a youngster starting out on the road, do 9 speed is more than ample

  20. Best place or person to service DT Swiss fork in Jhb?
  21. For your 6 year old son. 20" Momsen with regid fork. Must be as light as you can. Advertise on the hub that you are looking for one. For You Anything because from here on in it is only about your son. Hopefully you have anothe 3 or 4 years that you can hang in there.
  22. Final Results and Track Records https://www.cyclingsa.com/track-cycling-downloads And the result is a nice big Junior squad that is selected to go to worlds this year. It has been a while since we have seen that many Juniors get selected. https://www.cyclingsa.com/track-cycling-press
