Sharkie 2 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 I would say host two if you can but over different routes if possible. Road cycling needs events like yours to grow Unknown MTBR 1

Jurgens Smit Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Tiny bit off topic, but are you planning to continue your Crit Series this year? If yes, can you give an idea of more or less when?
Frosty Posted January 19, 2017 Author Posted January 19, 2017 Tiny bit off topic, but are you planning to continue your Crit Series this year? If yes, can you give an idea of more or less when?Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes - we are planning to continue and will be discussing it this weekend with Gauteng North at the provincial champs. Our club had some discussions with some service providers, and we hope to make it more formal - online entries, permanent number, discount for series entries, and a few other ideas. Sanctioned, of course. Jurgens Smit, Spinnekop and bmw1za 3

Long Wheel Base Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 How much support for only one event? If the second event was a crit series, would you support it?I would definitely be interested. How many races would be in a series? Location would play a part in my decision though.
Frosty Posted January 20, 2017 Author Posted January 20, 2017 I would definitely be interested. How many races would be in a series? Location would play a part in my decision though.I am hopefully meeting with Gauteng North on Sunday to discuss the plans. 6 events, in three regions, or 3 in 2 regions if another region doesn't play ball.

Spinnekop Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 How much support for only one event? If the second event was a crit series, would you support it?Location, Location, Location. And prizes for the SERIES and not for one race. Event 1: Road race: Carnival CityEvent 2: MTB raceEvent 3: CritEvent 4: Hill climb at Suikerbosrand. Total time of the 3 events gives you a series time. One event per quarter. Just a thought........ Frosty, TALUS, ScottCM and 1 other 4
Spinnekop Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Looking forward to do your race in November. Much better time of the year. Lekker 94.7 loosener and as mentioned not as congested. Best organised event in Gauteng. Dexter-morgan 1

Sounds like our club champs - Crit, TT and hill climb. We left the road race out. But I like the concept. Spinnekop 1
