In addition, a club category for clubs registered within the Western Cape is being introduced to the league,” explained the WPCA’s road commissioner and league organiser, Eugene Strydom. “We trust that these changes will add up to provide cyclists with solid racing opportunities and look forward to seeing exciting racing in the Summer.” The events are: Stage 1: Sat 11 January 2014 – RON Tour de Philadelphia (88 km) * Stage 2: Sun 19 January 2014 – Tour de PPA league and funride (110 km / 72 km U16) * Stage 3: Sun 26 January 2014 – Bouckaert-Soenen league and funride (126 km / 72 km – U16) Stage 4: Sun 2 Feb 2014 – Rollercoaster league and funride (81 km) Stage 5: Sun 9 Feb 2014 – RON Signal Hill hill climb (5.24 km) Stage 6: Sun 16 Feb 2014 – Tour de Medallion league and funride (101 km / U16 tbc) Stage 7: Sun 23 Feb 2014 – RON Cape Town Criterium (1 hour + 1 lap) Stages 1 and 2: Routes to be confirmed due to current road works.

Oortjies Posted January 5, 2014 Share Can we use the same timing chips we purchased last year for the Lights by Linea races?Hi, you do not have to purchase a new timing chip if you have the chip used in the Lights by Linea races. You will however get a email later to ask you to return this chip which would then be replaced free of charge with a new chip which is embedded in a frame number.
