PPA Summer League

[DMC007]

Here's your answer...its only a Draft, but I'll doubt these rules will be changed.

OH FFS ....

I also prefer morning racing as I do things on weekends...

 

I enjoy cycling and racing my bike, but it will never be my life...

Not disagreeing but I need to add my 5c because you do not get a 2c anymore:

• I do not want to race on a Sat afternoon...whole day gone esp 170km
  
• PPA cater for guys like me who is fit enough to race but do not have the ability/time to race 160km
  
• PPA cater for the masses...to move a ride/race for 20-30 guys going to SA's not worth it.
  
• Gauteng does not have a league like us never mind 160km races.
  
• SA's age-group racing....think Western Cape is up there.
  

The Light's by Linea is great for Elite racing in Cape Town but I like my 80 - 110km morning races.

 

 

I agree, this afternoon racing sucks!

 

I dont mind waking up at 4am to get to a venue, atleast I have the weekend left afterwards.

Dude, the entry fee into the league is for all 7 races...

 

PPA membership is cheap...

 

If you not happy with the layout don't do it.

 

PS: coffee and muffin cost money too

looks like I need to find a team to enter the league...getting a bit steep.

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?

The team entry is an additional amount to be paid extra ontop of the individual amount

[StoneW]

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

[Omar]

No One that can answer my question?

 

What happens if you not a PPA member?

i heard that you must be a ppa member , if your membership lapsed and your new seeding doesn't warrant a place in league they will consider if u a member of a sponsored team or club.

Additional R1200

When you ride for a team they usually cover your entry fee for the league....

Ja Ja, what im saying is that LBL had cut out all the middle men. And i could ride where i felt comfortable. Now we are forced in a blik again. I still say strength vs strentgh is the correct way!

 

Then the strongest ride 160 and get lowered by strentgh.

 

Im a SV with no PPA seeding as i didnt ride PPA races last year. Now i must go and ride Open, which means i ride with the Vets, which i dont have a problem with. Do you think they wont mind?

 

And my 2xcoffees and a muffin still cheaper ;-)

I think what Lambtjoppie is trying to say is that he needs someone who can sponsor his entry fee!!

I hear you, that would be cool

 

 

Ek sien jy oefen hard, waars my training invite ;-)

Thats procedure, I had to work my way up to a seeding for elites, so you will need to do the same....just how life works.
