I will get the club to support the next one .. I really was out of the loop this round 

[Jurgens Smit]

When will the next one be? Unfortunately I only saw the post today :/

[Frosty]

I've amended the date (on the first page) for round #2

 

Expect more "good spam-like" behaviour to get the numbers up for event #2.

Next event is 14-Aug

With this kind of support it might be viable to open it up to a Mtb class as well , of course no slicks should be allowed .

[Frosty]

Time to "spam" post this event, at the request of NordicElf...

 

14-Aug.

Same venue, same format - hopefully more entries.

 

You don't need to be competitive to take part, you can even use it to benchmark you fitness level (or lack of).

Hope to be there

Morning bump... 3 weeks + 1 day to go.

WINTER CRITERIUM CHALLENGE #2 (same event, date updated to event #2)

Germiston Wheelers Cycle Club, in collaboration with Gauteng East Cycling, invites you to join us for 20 minutes (+ 1 lap) worth of fun in the winter sun.

• Where: Klipriver Industrial Estate (Google Maps: -26.4323669, 28.0625618);
• When: Sunday, 14 August 2016 @ 10:00;
• Cost: R50 (enough to cover cost of toilet hire and medics);
• Who: All ages, abilities and genders - there will be a category to cater for all abilities;
• Prizes: Top 3 for each category.

What to expect:

• Line entries only – pitch, pay and ride/race;
• Each race will be held over 20 mins + 1 lap (4-5 laps, depending on speeds);
• A 2.5Km circuit comprising 3 right turns and a left turn on super smooth tar;
• With approximately 11m elevation per lap, it really is a flat course with speeds through the corners in excess of 40km/h. Add some crosswinds and fellow competitors and you get some awesome racing.

More information, and a video from our club champs can be viewed on www.germistonwheelers.co.za, or by following @germistonwheel on Twitter.

HOW TO GET THERE:

From Alberton

• Follow the R59 south to Vereniging;
• Take R550 exit (Randvaal/Heidelberg Road);
• Turn right, over the R59 on the R550.
• After 1.7Km turn left, and follow road for 1.7Km.
• Crit circuit is held behind the brewery on the industrial park roads.

From Meyerton/Vereniging

• Follow the R59 north to Alberton;
• Take R550 exit (Randvaal/Heidelberg Road);
• Turn left and keep left on the R550.
• After 1.7Km turn left, and follow road for 1.7Km.
• Crit circuit is held behind the brewery on the industrial park roads.

If you start driving/riding on a dirt road, you've gone too far. The left turn is just before the tar road becomes a dirt road.

This looks like fun. Although you may need to time me using moon phases, tides or a calendar.

we only need to count the number of laps and after 20 minutes we will send out the sweep vehicle... [emoji12]

[Jurgens Smit]

Do we need to enter online? Or is it on the day entry?

Do we need to enter online? Or is it on the day entry?

for this year it is day entries only.

 

This is the second of two events, and we're working to increase the number of events and allow online entries - edit: for 2017.
