Entries were closed on Friday and the seeding has been completed but there was a flurry of requests to reopen the entry portal till Friday the 25th August. THIS HAS BEEN DONE. The route has been inspected and all looks good (from a car driver's perspective). the flowers are out , albeit a bit a bit small , the Verloerensvlei is the fullest it has been for a very long time. Long term weather forecast is for a sunny day with a light breeze for the entire area.

WP cycling had a crits series for the last number of years - they have tried to formalise it into a series like a WP champs over 4 events instead of just standalone crit inbetween road races. attendences are poor. the road league consists of lap races , ie short laps of 7.7kms or long laps of 50kms. these events have been hosted for the last 12 years , there has been growth BUT......... circuits are being killed as there are just so many routes out there. Gunners Circle was mentioned a few times - there are now speed bumps on the circuit and there is a shop down one of the roads which is very popular on a Sunday morning this has impacted on traffic numbers on the Fire Station side of the course , other than that, it is still quiet for the rest bar a truck or 2 turning into or out of the market.

no feeding from the convoy - i am not riding this year so i will impress upon the officials that this must be strictly enforced. we are in the process of identifying 2 feed zones on the route which will be different from the dedicated waterpoints for those that need to stop and refuel whether it is from the water point or their own roadd side back up. provisional feed zone at the moment will be at the t junction of the Eland Bay / Eendekuil Rd and the climb out of Elands Bay. i need to inspect before i confirm with officials

1.last year - we went according to Racetec results , we were thrown out by there being a dearth of up to date results / events due to Covid - i am also familiar with a lot of the names from WP Road League so if there were riders who competed in the league we went along with those as well. Another curve ball are those entrants that only have Mtb results , their average speed is difficult to assimilate to a RR. 2. it's entirely up to you 3.We were let down las year wrt water points - there will be three WPoints for those who do not have back up. there will also be a separate 'feeding zone' for those who want to take on refreshments without stopping. 4.to date , we are ahead of where we were last year.

it will on the route

i understand and agree - we did consult with the officials regarding feeding for this event. it is unfair to allow teams to feed from team cars as individual riders don't have that luxury. so we insist no feeding from team cars. We don't have the manpower to have a separate 'side of the road' feeding zone where riders are fed by 'back up' as well as a dedicated waterpoint where participants can stop and refuel. to have both in the same location will be chaos hence we and the officials agree that all participants have to stop to refuel at the 'official waterpoints'. our resources are spread thin on the day as are the officials. but i will take up this issue with them. thanks for the heads up.

there was lots discussion why the last water point was not erected. for this years event , it has been confirmed that the Saamstaan waterpoint (188kms) will be erected and manned , water , energade , mini bars ones will be available. the same will be available at Redelinghuys (130km)
