[Event] XCOSA.CO.ZA Race Series #2

[Robrider]

Yes for Saturday 28 April participants and spectators will not be charged the usual R25 entry fee, but that is entry to fountains only, not Groenkloof. So entry to Foutains is FREE!!

 

Thanks, Entered

Is this race still going ahead? CSA saction issues sorted? What happened at 'the meeting'?

Will I, as a CSA licensed rider, be fined if I participate?

 

All questions that came up yesterday.......

The event is going ahead, with full CSA Sanctioning in place.

I will be the Commissaire at the event.

 

There will be no penalties, fines or any other actions against any riders, as this is a sanctioned event.

<p>Funny, the "meeting" that Spinnekop referred to was a confidential meeting that only 4 people (attendees) knew about - and sanctioning was never an issue as the XCOSA.CO.ZA race is sanctioned with Gauteng North Cycling with insurance, race levies, medical evacuation plan, hospital notification and all relevant issues in place. Now where did that rumor started, and was there perhaps malicious intent with that ...?</p>

Some of SA's best pro elite riders racing at XCOSA Race#2 tomorrow. Awesome track and sponsors really pulled all the stops to make this a fantastic event. Great fun for the whole family - late entries till 9h00. CSA sanctioned the tooty ( to all the sceptics ...:-)!)

And what an awesome event it was! Everything was top notch. Keep it up and we will have a great development platform for young riders and great fun event for the not-so-young. XCO rocks.

 

Thanks guys.

Really glad things turned out they did in the end.

There were a few heartbeats missed just before the first event started, but from there everything was smooth sailing.

Congratulations to Pierre and the boys for putting up a great event.

I look forward to the next event.

Thanks for a great race!

 

It was my first XCO race, and I really enjoyed it. Not too technical, but still challenging.

 

The pace of the leaders was insane. Philip B lapped me like I was standing still. Oh well now I have a goal. Definitely have to include more anaerobic training if I want to cope with XC

Hi Robrider, XCO conditioning is definitely not for the fainthearted as it requires much more than just riding. Nice thing however, if you're fit for xco it is very easy to adapt for marathon, but not vice versa. Also bear in mind that technical skills is a function of conditioning, and the more technical the course, the more you total conditioning plays a part. From the next XCOSA race on 28 Jul 12 the technical requirements will be raised a bit - remember our skills workshop on 21 Jul 12 ...
