PPC Kremetart 2012

[IanJ]

I think people are getting confused between supporters cars (which have to leave 20min before the stage start) and support cars normally driven by a team manager who has to be at the managers meeting and will be given a sticker. They drive behind the various categories to give support to their riders.

my first time but for a polish boy i am rather excited about all this poijtie kos and klipdrift!

[Agteros]

Awesome... would you like to make an offer? How much would you be willing to pay?

Maybe I'm getting a tad over excited here. I'll rather let this one slide...

We would once more like to make the PPC Kremetart most enjoyable for everyone involved, but our first priority lies with the safety of participating cyclists. We appreciate your assistance and compliance regarding support vehicle rules.

1) Supporter buses will be available on race day! Please make generous use of them. It is good fun and some tour guides will be available to inform you and answer your questions.

 

2) We aim to ensure total road closure for the duration of the race. Support vehicles will therefore be strictly regulated along the entire route.

 

3) Traffic and race officials will not allow any vehicles along the route without official support vehicle identification. No vehicles will be allowed between bunches.

 

4) Support vehicle stickers will be available at registration but is issued at the discretion of the race organisers. Nobody without stickers will be allowed on the route.

 

5) All registered support vehicles will leave 20 minutes before the start of each stage. If they stop along the route, they will only be allowed back on the route after all cyclist and sweeper vehicle have passed.

 

6) Pro team managers wil meet with commissair and race organisers to familiarise themselves with requirements.

On the Sunday after the Kremetart there are Mountain Bike races, in Hanglip forest.

The 20, 30 & 40km rides have some Fantastic downhill singletrack in indigenous forest.

Be warned The Zoutpansberg is a serious mountain so the 40km will involve about 800m of ascent, but all of it is in forest.

Do not miss out on this awesome race - you are in Louis Trichardt for the weekend, make the most of it. If you have entered only for the 175 Km race, bring a mountain bike and enter one of the Mountain Bike races and I guarentee that you will not regret it. The distances are 50, 30 and 10 Km.

Kruiwa, do you know if cyclists will be allowed to put a folding chair on the tog bag van? I think that I will be in need of a decent place to sit between stages.

Yes you will be able to do so! Just see that you mark it or tie it to your bag

SANRAL, Provincial and local permission to close the road for the time being of each stage!

Last year they managed close to total road closure. I came across one car that had slipped in somewhere.
