devocean Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 Anyone wanna carpool to the piketberg race tomorrow? Don't mind driving or coming along with you. Can split petrol cost.
billygoat0523 Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 I'm a bit late to the party... only started cycling last year. Why has the road races in the Southern Suburbs stopped?
Thomo Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 I'm a bit late to the party... only started cycling last year. Why has the road races in the Southern Suburbs stopped?Roadworks and traffic congestion would probably be top of the list of reasons.
Dicky DQ Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 I'm a bit late to the party... only started cycling last year. Why has the road races in the Southern Suburbs stopped?Cost of traffic department is also a big issue. There are so many intersections and each one needs x staff members and they cost a lot.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yes, a mate of mine just messaged, he's teammate went down, very very horribly still in hospital, apparently he was out for 20mins Without bashing anyone or club etc but this is honestly unacceptable. Its the same category as using medical insurance payments towards salaries at CSA. I really hope the gentleman / youngster who went down is ok, to be out for 20min is very very serious.

This was CSA sanctioned event, I would have thought part of the job of the CSA commissure at the event, is to check if basics like this is actually in place?

Allrounder Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Hi guys, I know this is not exactly the place, but I came across a gentleman from kommetjie who is keeping kids of the streets, by learning them to ride bikes.He himself is a very active cyclist. If you have any small road bikes, frames, parts that you do not want or need, you can always pay it forward to him. He is currently helping 14 primary school kids.
Allrounder Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 4 of those 14 are active in the WP school league.
J Wakefield Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 This was CSA sanctioned event, I would have thought part of the job of the CSA commissure at the event, is to check if basics like this is actually in place? I would presume so, honestly I do not know but regardless how can you not have a ambulance there? Its a race. It actually upsets me to see how far down the barrel road cycling in the WC has gone. We used to be a power house and now I just don't know.

It actually upsets me to see how far down the barrel road cycling in the WC has gone. We used to be a power house and now I just don't know. My understanding is that there was one ambulance, there was a bad crash and they then had to use that ambulance to take the person to hospital. Then they realised they dont have another one and then cancelled the remainder of the race? Regardless, they should have had 2, especially if its all the way out in Piketberg. Common sense.
