  1. Next year please make sure that someone leads out the cats that know the rout Leadrs on both 20 and 60 had to turn around at least once
  2. Would love to get a tandem. will need to be small back and front Want to pair Gustav and Kyla on some of the longer races They are both only 11 but you must see these kids ride Gustav was 3 rd U15 with a 33kmh averagre (on under 13 gears) and Kyla was the second Girl overall with 3 wheel changes in the process. These Kids have heart.
  3. Well organised event and CSA sanctioned. That gets my vote and support for sure. Lets see how close they get to that 6500
  4. If that overstating of numbers is true, I am a very disappointed customer. I entered my son purely based on the numbers in the hope that he might have a good race and that there would be enough competition. Lets hope all the faster kids, their mommies and the ice-cream man will at least be there.
  5. Mini Paris Raubix and stalls now also added to an already fun day. Come and join us for the final Youth league race of the season. Track cycling is one of the more exciting cycling disciplines to watch.
  6. My advice is not to tell your kid how to race. It places rhem under huge pressure and could take the fun out of riding their bike.Rather just encourage and let them figure out how to race and if they want to and can win every race. At the end of the day you want a kid that enjoys the sport . They cannot all be race winners and they all develop at different rates.
  7. There will now be youth racing on both Saturday and Sunday.

  19. Saturday Program Loaded
  20. I doubt that there was 480 riders in total. A lot of money spent on a very well organized setup as far as the entertainment food stalls and venue is concerned. Awesome venue with perfect viewing spot from the terrace to follow the races. Start needs to be separated from the finish or moved off the loop. Lots of riders were hanging around on the course waiting to start the next race. I think they were lucky they did not get the thousands that they had hoped for, there would surely have been a crash or two next to the start/finish area. My suggestions : Prize Giving:Have a proper prize giving for each cat directly after the cat has raced or have at least two prize givings. A couple of kids (and parents) waited 4 hours for a prize giving that did not materialize. Will not hang around next year.Have decent prizes for all racing cats and advertise these beforehand, that way you will draw the racing snakes. There was clearly a big enough budget for the event.Have a Sprog event (U11+U13)Have a Youth Racing Cat (U15-U17)Have a Masters racing Cat (Men and Women)Shorten the weekend warrior cat or lose it altogether (We will still come and watch if there is good racing) , this is a crit after all, there are enough normal road races out there.I think that trying to cater for all bikes and all types of riders may not be a good idea. Pull riders that get lapped, rather than delay your next cat by half an hour. It needs to be crisp, fast and hard and you must do something to draw all the best racers in Gauteng to your venue. Crit racing is an awesome concept, It is an awesome venue and I hope you get it right next year. .
