PPA Summer League

[Leg breaker]

I train with John, just a tip, racing elites as not as easy as it sounds, rather get your seeding up to C first. I had to get mine up, and a great learning experience it was...

 

My seeding is C now. You think i should enter ?

Enter, thats the fastest way to up your riding if you are not ready yet

Yip.

And readiness is a very fluid concept :-)

Motivation is a far more important thing.

 

Go, ride, spit blood and learn and learn, Leg Breaker!

@CCC2 - what happens if you not PPA member and wants to race? How does seeding work?

unfortunately u have to be a ppa member. if you are a member of a sponsored team and your seeding is outside of the criteria, the league organiser will allow you to ride. so in essence - ppa member & csa member.

Isn't it more expensive to enter as a team? The way I read it, you still have to pay your individual entry fee and then a team entry fee on top of that?

team entry is optional - but then u not in the team competition.

[ccc2]

Do you have to do all 7 races? Can you select only to do the PPA ones?

yes but the entry fee remains the same.

[Thornman]

Will there be prize money this year or will it be a Canal Walk voucher again?

Exclusive Books voucher.

 

Get a copy of Cavendish's latest book.

Cape Cobra Challenge... the one for the lightweight ones.

 

What happened to that event?

you'll have to ask Cyclelab or maybe the ppa about the event.

[StoneW]

yes but the entry fee remains the same.

 

So you have to pay R1190 even if you only plan on doing 4 Races ? I can understand this will ensure that each of the 7 events is well supported, but I think if they allowed the entries to be splir per event they would have more riders doing the league at the PPA events. Some riders just want to ride a few races in a stronger field.

It's a campaign based on a points system.

So it is best if one races all 7.

 

But, more importantly, an event has to be budgeted for and organised for based on the number of entrants.

Ok I contacted the about2time guys. You do have the option of doing only a few events at the cost of R190 each.
