Zeffer Posted January 29, 2017 Share Just had a look and this race is not ons CSA calendar. Is this race sanctioned? If not sanctioned then means I and other licensed riders can not competw right? Frosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted January 29, 2017 Share Just had a look and this race is not ons CSA calendar. Is this race sanctioned? If not sanctioned then means I and other licensed riders can not competw right?It took 4.5 weeks for the race I'm involved with to appear on the calendar.It wouldn't surprise me if there is an adminstrative problem, as I can't believe this event would go ahead unsanctioned. Funnier things have happened. Coffee/training ride for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I was it would be a complicated story.[emoji12]I sent a mail (last week) to Wynand (organiser) to discuss the possibility of permanent numbers - as he has 4-5 events that he manages. No reply yet, but I know how busy it gets in the last 2 weeks before an event. By adding one or two other events, it would be a great way to show how a permanent number could work. clivem, Fat Boab and Gen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on you for reaching out to them. Edited January 30, 2017 by Gen Spinnekop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen Posted January 30, 2017 Share Double loop?!?!?!?!Ja okay smartie pants lol The idea is to try and ride in a group for a longer distance in a race setup to really get used to race pace over a longer distance..
