Pietie5 Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) One used to be able to just go to Rooiwal, bringing some cash, enter, ride and have fun.Now you have to pre-enter or paying a R30.00 penalty, for me that takes the fun out of it, rather go for the Saterday clubride!

Rider3000 Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Ice4... thank you for putting this up !!! I live in Cape town now but used to race there years ago.... this left a pleasant smile on my face to see Rooiwal !!!
jcza Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Still reasonable and great racing Underachiever and NISI 2
Cheese Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Still good price, Although our clubride is very much like a race, I will be thereSaturday.Entering up front makes it much easier for me, as long as you do not have to go and get the number the day before.
Cheese Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Event had a good turn out. With the wind blowing had a good workout before this weeks R4S.
Spinnekop Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Hard and fun racing as per usual. Loads of people. Was beautiful to see!
Job Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 We didn't get medals, we were told that they were finished by fast riders...howz that's :-(
Cheese Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Hard and fun racing as per usual. Loads of people. Was beautiful to see!Think it was mostly hard for us due to you making it hard(and having fun) on the back section with wind from the left. Was nice to see the numbers , I would not want Rooiwal races to disappear.
Cheese Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) We didn't get medals, we were told that they were finished by fast riders...howz that's :-(Sorry to hear, maybe the field was bigger than expected. I for one did not take a medal and I am quite sure Spinnekop did not either although he reached the table first. Go visit Speke Facebook page, maybe you can at least get a nice picture of yourself as a memory. Edited February 13, 2017 by Cheese

They are a friendly bunch and Oom Bulla will sort you out real quick. I also did not take a medal. Waaaayyyy to many lying around at home.
Spinnekop Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 On the racing part..... The "A" bunch was a bit slap gat Saturday........Only 4 old ballies got away and the "Elite" young bunch got sprinted by a GIRL. Maybe that is why the took away the medals? Hehehehhehe. Hennie VR and Bateleur1 2

Scalpel Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Correction!! The girl DID NOT sprint the elites!! She just casually rode away from them on the back section. Never to be seen again!
