KidCharlemagne Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 What sort of participation do these events receive?
Cycle4Life - Paarl Posted January 14, 2016 Author Posted January 14, 2016 Not enough, but this is proper racing, age cat based, and safe, allowing you to race your peers and WIN a medal, not receive a finishers medal, this is what will make you a better cyclist, so enter
City Cycling Athletic Club Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 the road race was held in absolootly sweltering conditions - the race was held on an undulating 25 km circuit which included 1 major climb. the peleton was blown apart on the 2nd lap of 6 when a group of 10 riders detached themselves on the drag up to the start /finish. Lights by Linea were in the majority and they took the racing to Ray Cox (CWC) , Ivan Venter (Caja Rural) , Brandon Christians (Alfa Bodyworks), Mathew Merrington (Giant), Ian Lategan (Peugeot). on the 2nd last lap Ivan Venter, Rohan du Plooy (lbl), James Tennent and Brandon Christians were all that were left as the heat started taking affect. on the last climb Venter and du Plooy broke away and maintained the gap on Tennent right up to the finish. 1.du Plooy, 2.Venter,3.Tennent. the first 2 riders are u23's but i'm not sure if the rules allow the winner of the race to take the overall championship ie Elite and u23

Remember when Daryl broke his chain and they tried to still claim the victory over Louis because Louis was u23 and Daryl elite.
