Gauteng Legends Track League.

[Wendell]

Gauteng Track Legends are serious about track racing. The numbers may not be huge but the quality makes up for the numbers. The League is there for ALL track riders over 50 years of age. We are also catering for ALL Veteran ladies.

 

Why only 50 plus...well it is easy to manage and as it is not an "Official" league we are run by volunteers. The distances are common for ages from 50 to 70plus. The events are as follows;

 

Sprint.

500 m Time Trial.

2000 m Pursuit.

15 km Points race.

5 km Scratch Race.

 

Yesterday was the first of 12 Track Meetings ending in September just before we leave for the World Masters Track Champs in Manchester.

 

Yesterday we held the sprint and 5 km Scratch race.

 

The sprint was won by Grenville Scullard...second Tim Abbot..Third Gerrit Scheepers. Gerrit dipped under the current South African 200m record for the age cat. 55-59. The record IS 12,51 and Gerrit rode a 12,34. We look forward to an "Official" track meeting. Will he dip under 12???? wait and see.

 

The 5 km scratch race was won by Bart Nel...followed in second place by Tim Abbot and in third place was Wendell Bole.

 

The entire league is being run on an Omnium basis..... so EACH rider must ride EVERY event....Tim Abbot said he's looking forward to his first EVER pursuit...it's going to be a blast.

 

The next Gauteng Legends Track League meeting will be held on the 9 th March at 13hoo. the two events will be the 500 meter Time Trial and the 15 km Points race....
