Edition 507 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Was this commasaire from the 50plus cat the lady in the blue Lexus ISF? If so I hear she is quite strict and I also hear she is the wife of one of the riders. But my Intel isn't super reliable.Us 30 plus guys got DQd the last time we raced at that venue so we know how you feel.I hope her hubby is not a 50+ rider otherwise a bit of a conflict of interests.

RastaMan Posted March 14, 2016 Share Trouble is we have these young commissaires who become little Hitlers because they possess a bit of power. Probably never raced a day in their lives and have no idea about what is going on in the race. Worst is that they don't understand all the rules and are not consistant.I here you but on the other hand you get riders that don't read the rules, then get dq'd in the race then they complain to the commissionaire but if they read the rules it would not have happened. Karan Beef boys were on form, their numbers were a clear advantage, they controlled the race from early on. Matthys is a monsterThe VA race was hard initially 3 in the break, then 12 then 4 again and 6 at the sprint Was a bit unhappy that there were riders not in our age category competing in our race made the results very confusing, and handing out medals and taking them back was not nice. But sh#t happens i suppose. But by far my hardest race so far about 86 km in the break and I was bleeding.My NP for the TT was 326 and also 326 for the road race no wonder I was broken.4th in the TT and Road race next year I will come back with a vengeance.

Dgas Posted March 14, 2016 Share You can go read through the documents here http://www.cgcycling.co.za/documents.asp and the constitution http://www.cgcycling.co.za/documents/CGC_Constitution_2005.pdf Note, I am just sharing their documents and not saying it's great!! Point 14 in the consitution talks about their vision, mission and objectives. Point 15 is about the executive composition; "The management and control of the affairs of CGC shall be vested in an Executive consisting of 10 (ten) members who have been members of CGC for at least 12 months." But the current team seems to be less than 10? http://www.cgcycling.co.za/cgc_executive.asp Last financials were from 2013 that http://www.cgcycling.co.za/cgc_financials.asp but I am sure there are laws for when they should be published so not sure where 2014 and 2015 is? 2013 Equity (net assets) of R666k; Assets of R756k of which R314k debtors, R299k investment account and R143k cash. Income for the 2013 year was R1123k and expenses R995k Largest expenses are salaries 30% of expenses, race expenses 10% and interclub & provincial race costs 10% --- Are there any hub members on the committee or who perhaps go to the meetings? I also looked at their website, it's out of date, the financials are 3 years old and most documents non existent. And yet we keep on paying them. I copied the below from their objectives. I would say that they have failed. Has anybody seen any initiative from them? "The main objective of CGC is to encourage, nurture, control and promote cycling, particularly recreational road cycling in Central Gauteng. This objective has developed to such an extent that certain aspects of road racing are also covered by CGC. In fulfilling this main objective, CGC performs various functions for its members which include both natural persons and clubs." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 14, 2016 Share I only know of one husband (rider) and wife (official) combo and he rides VA. I don't know the other families involved, but out of the officials that were listed for duty at the CCMNC race, their are two surnames in common for both riders and officials. If that is the case, then I suggest the riders in VC object if it's a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
