[Event] Cyclo Sportif #5

[Pure Savage]

This does give some perspective on why we have so few road events, we are quick to bash PPA & entry fees but it is not a trivial exercise to host a road race!

Writing a nice little article on this exact thing

Did my comment get PPA to change their cycling interests?

 

Maybe they can change the Committee page to reflect the current committee as I believe it is only 11 and 12 still on the page! AGM how many months back?

 

I always wonder if a company cannot get the basic right how the hell will they get the rest correct. Most fearful experiences are on planes and a for example a toilet not working thus as a passenger you have to wonder if the rest of the plane is OK!

Maybe this well worn discussion (including my comment) belongs to one of the many PPA bashing threads and not the Cyclo Sportif event thread?

Nope they have changed this in the past 24 hours - too:

• Cycling Interests:MTB, Road, BMX, Commuting

But they possible should ticking all the boxes - maybe not Triathlon, they have in recent years made contributions to track cycling!

I agree!  Especially as at the price they even offer great value.

 

I wasn't expecting them to match the experience of Argus, nor do I mind riding the same route more than once either clockwise or counter clockwise.  That area remains gorgeous every time.  The highlight is the view from the top of Bothmanskloof Pass.

I find it interesting that people want more variety for events so I though I check my rides for this year (2016-12-01 - today) on veloviewer Wheel (I've done 2 social rides this year , rest is races , either road or Mtb.  

 

If argus happened this year, I would have covered the southern suburbs as well.
