Wez-O Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Wes-O.I have not seen any news published on SA's? Of kyk ek nou weer soos my gat?I contacted Mike from CSA and he confirmed the dates. Its in KZN (Margate I think).
Frosty Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 Lekker. Will we be able to courier numbers again? How did that work out.? Why don't other races do it? What is the financials behind it?I'm sure that option will be available again (3rd year we've offered it). I remember a few problems last year - but overall it was successful (for those that used it). It's an added extra on your entry, so doesn't affect those who chose not to use it. BUT... given the time it saves having to go to various number collection points, it's a no brainer. Think it was R80.00
Frosty Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 I contacted Mike from CSA and he confirmed the dates. Its in KZN (Margate I think).The calendar on CyclingSA website shows Margate as the venue. edit: now confirmed as Westville, like they had in 2014.

Long Wheel Base Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 YesHow come? But im still glad for the vets we have the longer distance. Great race. Count me in.
Frosty Posted November 15, 2015 Author Posted November 15, 2015 How come?But im still glad for the vets we have the longer distance. Great race. Count me in.Long story - I'm (personally) sad to see it disappear, but it's too much admin, work and effort for 60-odd people. Plus, the delays at the start makes for a really late start for most. We had to revert to the 2014 (121Km) route for the Vets (and obviously the Elites) without messing with the other groups - lots of permutations until the committee was happy I could prove the 121Km event for Elites and 30-49 could go ahead without disrupting the other groups. I'm also punting for hot spots for the Vets, just to make the category a little more interesting... watch this space.
Frosty Posted November 25, 2015 Author Posted November 25, 2015 Same weekend as Sabie again?I can now answer... Yes #dammit
jcza Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 I can now answer... Yes #dammit Can't believe it! I bet the following weekend there won't be a road or MTB race. Sorry Gerald, missing your race again. Need the MTB miles.
