stringbean Posted July 29, 2013 Share Anyone hear anything?I can't see this happening until CSA and PPA sort things out.No matter what your opinion is,if you are a licensed rider you can only ride in sactioned events.I didn't take part in winter league but spoke to a lot of guys who did and EVERYONE said what a great job CCC did.What about it CCC?How about organising spring league,so what if it clashes with PPA.Don't look like many road rides in PPA calender any way.I heard that the block on races in southern peninsula is still on. ThereCan of worms has been opened.SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaco-fiets Posted July 31, 2013 Share It is really sad that its August (tomorrow) and nobody knows if there is even a spring league. That is piss poor for a sport that is supposedly the fastest growing sport in the country (one of them anyway even if it probably is mtb'ing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortLegs Posted August 7, 2013 Share Couple of points; to reiterate any fully licensed CSA riders will not be able to ride any PPA race if it's unsanctioned so lets hope they sort their $%^# out pronto. Also <rant> PPA are supposed to be promoting WP cycling BUT by not organising a single road race after Argus it seems they are doing nothing but lining their own pockets. Also how many races are organised 100% by PPA? 1 Tonner? Argus? what else? 3 races per year is disgusting for an organisation of their size/calibre/history. <rant/> CCC have done a sterling job along with the Polkadraai series over this winter, why aren't CSA and PPA for that matter leverageing the skills and organisation to improve cycling as a whole in WP?

Rusco Posted August 7, 2013 Share Spot on Short Legs! I think you will fall on your back when you see PPA's finances. Shameful that they profess not to want to be involved in so called racing and are only interested in revenue creating fun rides.....no chance of developing the racing component of the sport. Why not give it to another body? Money and politics, that's why!Of course the current legal matter with CSA compounds matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniax Posted August 7, 2013 Share I heard that the Cobra was postponed / cancelled... Yes, I got confirmation from the organizers. I quote "Due to various reason beyond our control it has been decided to postpone the Cape Cobra Challenge until 2014". Sucks though Edited August 7, 2013 by Daniel Rossouw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaco-fiets Posted August 7, 2013 Share Ok so what PPA road races will we have before end of year apart from Tour de Worcester and 1 tonner? Also, where are the new PPA numbers? Edited August 7, 2013 by Jaco-fiets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomo Posted August 8, 2013 Share gone are the days of us southerners having a bunch of races we could pedal to start line Yip, unfortunately southern suburb events appear to be very reliant on Ou Kaapse Weg and has been hit hard by the seemingly endless road works on main road (and other).I don't see many events happening until that is sorted, and there'll probably only be a couple of those 50km dashes from Fish Hoek.
