Frosty Posted June 7, 2016 Share We're hoping this will become a regular series of events through winter each year. We're starting off with 2 this year and hoping it will spread to other areas (in GP) to make it a bigger series. It is a sanctioned event, approved by Gauteng East Cycling.

Baaisikilist Posted June 7, 2016 Share Hmmm... Right around the corner from home...Reckon I'll have a go...What categories will there be, Gerald...? Frosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 7, 2016 Share Depending on numbers on the day, the categories will be licenced and open. Thereafter we split by gender and then by age group. We don't want to incur the expense of online entries, so it will be difficult to determine numbers. Baaisikilist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted June 7, 2016 Share We''re setting the price at R50 per person, to cover basic (mandatory) costs, and the club will add in prizes for the category winners. Edited June 7, 2016 by geraldm24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eon du Plessis Posted June 7, 2016 Share Bit of a far drive for such a short event and it clashes with a mtb race that I have an appointment with after suffering through it last year, but will definitely try to grab the next one! Hope it's a super successful event with many more to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted June 20, 2016 Share Don't think I mentioned prize money for each category. Not a lot, but something. Sent from my SM-T320 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanAW Posted June 23, 2016 Share Any idea yet on how many riders and categories can be expected? I'm starting to get excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 23, 2016 Share Any idea yet on how many riders and categories can be expected? I'm starting to get excited!We have no idea on numbers - the downside of line entries. Judging by some feedback, if everyone that said they are interested comes, it will be great racing across all age groups. RyanAW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
