Pants Boy Posted December 10, 2013 Share See you there, hope the weather improves, otherwise we are going to have a wet, muddy ride, which I guess is also fun.....It's been wet for a week. It's gonna stay wet for the weekend - fortuantely not buckets, but still wet enough to make it even tougher. http://www.cyclingsa...e.aspx?uid=2176 As we celebrate the life of our global icon, Mr Nelson Mandela and his contribution to the sports sector, please be advised that no activity or tournament either international or domestic will take place the day of the funeral, Sunday, 15 December 2013.

ACM Posted December 10, 2013 Share Two weeks leading up to race has not been good. Training up till last weekend went very well and then came bronchitis...:-( Tried to get over it by resting, but went onto antibiotics yesterday. Eish!!! Weather doesn't look good. Might be one tough 3-days. My first stage race; so am super excited, but now very nervous due to illness & no training since last Sunday!! Will have to stick to team entry name/ strategy (aka easy riders). See you all on Friday; hopefully weather clears up nicely and hopefully health improves and hopefully we can ride on Sunday and thereby honering Madiba (doing what we love doing)!!

ACM Posted December 11, 2013 Share Please post the email contents After consultation with the Vice President, General Manager and General Secretary of Cycling South Africa I can advise you that the overwhelming opinion is that you may go ahead with your race as planned as long as respect is shown towards the relevance of the day. Riders must be addressed as to the importance of the occasion, respectful mandatory silence observed and black armbands worn by all participants.Riders who may choose, of their own accord, not to ride should be respected and allowed to continue the following days stage.We understand that the day has not been declared a public holiday and that the request to cancel sporting events is not supported by the introduction of law but should this change we will advise accordingly. jcza and River Rat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
