Underachiever Posted January 14, 2016 Share Stupid cows!! Changed a lot of plans to be here for the champs, and NOW they tell us. And I pay money to these imbeciles!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baaisikilist Posted January 14, 2016 Share That's BS if they want to postpone a event they should email you.There's a lot they 'should' do. Like organise a date for the event, well enough in advance that people can train towards said event. Then organise a route for said event, well enough in advance that potholes and other hazards can be addressed. Then inform competitors of the route, various distances and start time information, well enough in advance that said competitors feel less like they're being taken advantage of, (sans any lubrication) by their provincial/national body, and like the annual fees they pay actually benefit them in some way...

Owen Posted January 14, 2016 Share I think the provincial and sa champs are too close to Christmas & New Year holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymann Posted January 14, 2016 Share Way to go having the Provincial Champs *after* the SA Champs. Not that you actually have to do Gauteng champs to make the trip to KZN. Good thing I hadn't started moving my seat and bars on the TT bike. Still, could be worse. TSA is holding the SA Duathlon champs (yes, the one where you get selected to represent TSA at World Duathlon champs) after Worlds...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were invited (over Twitter) to go and recce the route for the Duathlon Champs in Spain in December 2015 and give feedback, for the event only happening in June 2016. That's how you should do it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted January 14, 2016 Share Jeez are CGC and the ANC the same bunch of people? All bluddy useless.If it is postponed till 12/13 March that's after SA Champs. Makes so much sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WattsUpPowerlab Posted January 14, 2016 Share A week after Argus, hell of a thing you don't get your bike back in time!!! or you are down there for a week Oh well I guess it is a R300.00 donation!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted January 14, 2016 Share Eish, is there a way to elect another managing committee??yes, there is away, but sadly many don't know and I'd hazard a guess that many don't care about it either. Then, who is going to stand for the various positions and make the required changes happen. According to the CTCT organiser's numbers about 9000 cyclists head down to CT in March and there are 19000 timed finishers in the 947. That makes it a lot of cyclists that can make a change happen - deduct a small number for those outside of GP but in neighbouring provinces.

ewep Posted January 14, 2016 Share Can they not "relocate" the champs? Surely there are other roads that can be used around the area! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a pain, but these guys are a disgrace to the sport! If they start calling around surely some "nice" traffic department in the Vaal will help. Vanderbijlpark for one maybe? Are the routes restricted to GP only, or can it, as an e.g., loop around FS or NW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted January 14, 2016 Share A week after Argus, hell of a thing you don't get your bike back in time!!! or you are down there for a week Oh well I guess it is a R300.00 donation!!!they haven't delivered on an advertised service so in my books that equals a refund. I will then decide if I accept their March date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurferChild Posted January 14, 2016 Share A week after Argus, hell of a thing you don't get your bike back in time!!! or you are down there for a week Oh well I guess it is a R300.00 donation!!!There was a message out on Facebook from Central Gauteng Cycling claiming that if a cyclist cannot attend the new dates then a refund will be made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
