LeoKnight Posted May 28, 2018 Author Posted May 28, 2018 Race this weekend, might be interesting with a spot of rain predicated for that area.
LeoKnight Posted May 28, 2018 Author Posted May 28, 2018 Seems it is going to be weather wise the perfect day, nearly no wind to speak off, and the road cleanly washed with the rain of the week.
LeoKnight Posted June 3, 2018 Author Posted June 3, 2018 Thank you very much to the PPA for organising. Weather was dry but chilly , we did the short route and notice there were very few participants at this one. Which was sad as it is a good route to get started on. Few vehicles and basically just 4 turns and yii back at the start. Heard unconfirmed news that a cyclist om the longer route got tapped by a vehicle.. Anyone heard about this?

Anyone heard about this?Yeah, was hit by a bakkie. He is "ok" leg broken and ankle not lekker. Being operated on this afternoon. He is a mate, we wish him strength, going to be some really tough recovery
LeoKnight Posted June 3, 2018 Author Posted June 3, 2018 Seems there was a bit of a drop in the number of participants LR - 221SR - 79

Was one of the riders in the A bunch. Could've been any of us (well not me, because I got dropped). It's a sad state of affairs when we're not even safe in races anymore. From what I hear, this was by no means a freak accident, but rather pure negligence from the driver. But again, I had a flat so I wasn't there to see it happen, so I cannot really comment on the circumstances, just reporting what I heard.
Karman de Lange Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 Mid week and yesterday's rain may have played a role.It's also Ramadan. I could not convince myself to wake up at 4:30 incase it might not rain .. so I'm one of those
Skubarra Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Seems there was a bit of a drop in the number of participants LR - 221SR - 79 I thought the turnout was quite good given the week's weather and that it's not really PPA funride season. Did the short route with my dad, every now and then its fun to just ride and not "race"
LeoKnight Posted June 26, 2018 Author Posted June 26, 2018 That time again, looking forward to another ride / race this weekend. Hope everyone will be safe on the roads and no more crashes
LeoKnight Posted June 28, 2018 Author Posted June 28, 2018 Due to the heavy rain predicted for Sunday in the Paarl /Malmesbury area, it was decided to postpone the event until further notice. As safety is of utmost importance to the PPA, they feared that the heavy rain might pose a threat to the safety of the cyclists on the road. A new date for the event will be announced as soon as they have confirmed it (the new date will still be in 2018).
LeoKnight Posted July 23, 2018 Author Posted July 23, 2018 Just a note for those that did not see it, the race that was supposed to happen in July was now moved to 2 Dec 2018.
Andrew_Smith Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 Doing my first official race this Sunday and really looking forward to it. Will start in the unseeded group of course because I am new to the racing theme. Hoping to take the win in my starting group - would make the perfect birthday present!

Will be seeing you at the back, starting with my son and think he will also be unseeded. On another note, I am assuming the registration will occur at PPA offices, or on the morning, or is there also registration points at other places across the cape? The weather prediction is for nearly no wind and 20 degrees..

The weather prediction is for nearly no wind and 20 degrees.. With the exception of one CycloSportiff where the turnout was far greater than anticipated, registration was a painless exercise on the morning of the race at all the others so far this year.
