Awesome! Been wanting to try out some crit racing for some time now :w00t:

 

Can't the line entry time be extended? I see open only starts at 16:15, so do I need to go there at 12, enter, and chill there for 4 hours? Don't mind watching some of the racing, but not everyone would want to chill there the whole day...

To the guys that didn't (couldn't) support the two events we (Germiston Wheelers) organised recently, and you stay close by to this event, please support it. This is the only way that Gauteng (as a province) can grow Crit racing.

 

We have had 49 for the first event and 120 the second time around. Word will spread and before we know it, we'll have hundreds of participants honing their bike handling skills, pushing their limits and most of all - having fun.

Sure we will be able to fit you in. Note though that the categories and start times might/will change depending on the number of entries. Combining some categories will move the start times of the latter groups forward.

 

Better maybe to 'pre-enter' and ask to be notified of your start time  ;)

This looks like a really cool race, and I think one should not underestimate that route  :whistling:

 

Any particular reason for the afternoon race times rather than morning time?

Busy clearing the road surface now

 

Just learned that the area where the racing will take place is known as the Suikerbosrand. Hehe
