  2. WPCycling is proud to have hosted the Western Cape Road & Time Trial Championships, a decision driven by a firm belief that our cyclists deserve a championship test—right here at home. Staging a road championship in Cape Town, a highly built-up metro, is no small feat. Finding suitable racing routes requires months of planning, negotiation and compromise. WP Cycling, together with Myriad Events and Western Cape Cycling Association quite literally pulled out all the stops. From engaging with authorities and arranging comprehensive traffic control and ambulance services, to securing an excellent start-and-finish venue at Tela Fabrics, Bon Mella Estate, Durbanville, every detail was carefully considered. Even road surface repairs were undertaken—only for potholes to reappear just days before the event, a reminder of the constant challenges of urban racing. Despite this, the championships delivered racing worthy of the title. Conditions were almost ideal and the course was punchy, selective and honest. Elite, U23 and Junior (U19) riders took on a demanding 138 km race, while the remaining categories faced an equally tough but shorter 87 km route. The Youth & Para Cycling Categories were tested on some 'monster rollers'. It was racing that rewarded preparation, resilience and grit—exactly what championship racing should be. WP Cycling thanks all partners, officials, volunteers, and riders for making this event possible and proving once again that, even in a challenging environment, top-class championship racing can and does happen in the Western Cape. Congratulations to our Elite Men's & Women's Champions - Tyler Lange and Tiffany Keep respectively.
  3. the official word from CSA , its part of the membership portal and it cannot be changed. so if you have purchased a day license and you also have a csa / racing license , you will be refunded on request. non csa members may purchase csa membership without belonging to an affiliated club. just choose the virtual regional club ie Cape Metro / Cape Winelands / Eden etc etc depending on where your residential address is. the csa membership will allow you to enter any csa sanctioned event apart from SA's

  9. We have ridden from Knysna to Cape Town on the road plenty of times and a few times on the dirt. your biggest challenge would be to satisfy everyone's diet and their expectations of a good sleep. We never had an issue finding value for money on the 'road' but our 'gravel travel' was a challenge
