Underachiever Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Dropped Armando Ribeiro from Gauteng South another e-mail to give us more details. Let's see if his news year's resolution to be a better communicator and administrator of the sport becomes real.
MrDLR Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 From what I've heard it will be from the 16-17th January somewhere south of Johannesburg and they might only be doing entries on the day
Underachiever Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 From what I've heard it will be from the 16-17th January somewhere south of Johannesburg and they might only be doing entries on the dayYeah, I've heard it will be close to the Circus (no pun intended), but details on distances, etc, etc, etc are missing. Would be interesting if they will split the results into the 5 new "regions", hence crown champions in each, or will it still be only split into Central and North - as per previous years.
Frosty Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I've got a meeting the GE cycling on Thursday for our race, and they'd better have an answer for provincial champs

Wez-O Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Yeah, I've heard it will be close to the Circus (no pun intended), but details on distances, etc, etc, etc are missing.

Underachiever Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Organised by clowns indeed.We can only judge their organisational skills once they starting organising :-). To date they've done NA-DA, NOTHING!!
Underachiever Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 According to FB - road race on the Bosco circuit. Whatever that means? No other info.
Ronster Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 It's the circuit around the circus out in the south. Probably around 20km a lap
Long Wheel Base Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 According to FB - road race on the Bosco circuit. Whatever that means? No other info.The new venue for last years race for victory was the circus, So a short lap around there.I'm pretty sure the wind usually blows out that way.Don't know the area too well but I guess we will go near Lido hotel or suikerbos?
Ronster Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 If its a lap course it will just be around the circus. It wont turn off to lido or suikerbos. The lap is around 21km. I have raced it before.
Frosty Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I rode Gauteng champs on this route in April 2009. We did 4 laps that day.Here is the route I would assume they'd follow, based on previous provincial champs, interclub and Vet's Tour. http://ridewithgps.com/routes/11702250
Frosty Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Vets 30+ and 40+ would probably do 4 laps.50+ and woman probably 3 laps.Elite - I think they did 5 or 6 laps (memory is a bit sketchy, it was 7 years ago).
Frosty Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Prevailing winds blow from the top of the map down, (NW, NNW, N, NNE), so you get pushed into the gutter (crosswinds) going up between Km 122 and 102 (on the map). So you effectively never have a tailwind.
