Pro Classic Series - Western Cape Spring League

[Eugene Oppelt]

I think A.T is scared of the Dale....lol!

 

I find this is a perfect entry into league as Summer is for the mountain goats so atleast you would have a better fitness by then...

 

I'm more of a mountain goat.

So, will hold on to rear wheels during the roller fest season, JB.

See you in the mix with your FFWD hoops.

[Eugene Oppelt]

Right........

i hear there are over 200 entries across the categories.

 

Well, after some start-up issues in Spring 2012, let's roll!!

Too much hassle with this Spring League in my opinion, that is why I will rather wait for Summer. R990 for 2 proper races, a couple of circuits and a hill climb is not my idea of fun.

what do you consider a 'proper race'

[RaymondC]

By far the best Race the WP can offer, no shelter from the wind and rolling hills. I could race on these roads every weekend.

All the best for tomorrow, guys and girls! Let the fun and games begin!

 

Weather looks excellent tomorrow.

Fantastic race for Elites...however I just want to thank that very smart motorcycle marshall who stopped dead in the line of cyclist on lap 1 in the last 7km stretch while we were busy guttering causing about 7 cyclist to crash, why on earth would you just stop in the middle while we cycling....stupid chop! Otherwise very good first race!

Beautiful Boland morning.

Tricky course with testy easterly breeze.

 

Elites & Juniors lining up at dawn:

Sorry to hear.

That's rough.

 

As far as I know, there were no crashes in the Vets race, other than the near-miss switching and technical halts.

The marshall was quite awesome.

Dunno. They should've continued using the proclassicseries website as the central point. Racetec probably not pressed, because it wasn't a funride.

Yeah it's touchy. The cyclists don't listen, but to do that stunt also doesn't help.

PPA rule book in the race pack mentions something about result up by 12:00 on Monday on their website.
