LongDonkey Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Entered the Virtual Amashova, it is another ride of a different nature so who really minds anyway. edit, corrected info provided Edited September 17, 2020 by LongDonkey
Underachiever Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 Level 1 from 20/09, with a limit of 500 people for outdoor events. I can’t see government dropping level 1 before the end of the year. Wonder what this event will do if level is still in play.I have the endurance...after a good winter Now need to drop 3kg and start with the intervals if the event goes ahead... They need to make the call soon!!! In the mean time I'll have another cookie... mecheng89, Vetplant and Frosty 3
Vetplant Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 Any update if the race is still on?Very quiet on Social Media, I think they are hoping for the best. Hectic Promotions are the team behind this event now. They hosted the Fat Sheep event near Bapsfontein, all went well. They are hosting Cycle4Cansa at Sun City over the weekend, which will give us another indication of events going forward. We might just be lucky enough to have some sort of event, albeit allot of the normal hoopla at the start and finish will be reduced.
MudLark Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 Well, same organizers just ran Race to the Sun last weekend, didn't they?
Frosty Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 Well, same organizers just ran Race to the Sun last weekend, didn't they?not the same organiser - Advendurance organize the Race to the Sun. Hectic Promotions organize the Lost City road/MTB race, the Tshwane race and a few others.
Vetplant Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 not the same organiser - Advendurance organize the Race to the Sun. Hectic Promotions organize the Lost City road/MTB race, the Tshwane race and a few others.Cycle4CANSA MTB successfully took place yesterday, road event taking place today. Might have been significantly easier to get approval for the race there than it will be to get road closures going through the Capital.

Vetplant Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 Cycle4Cansa at Sun City successfully hosted yesterday, 556 total finishers. Batches were all the way from Elites to CL. Would be interesting whether Tshwane Classic can take place with 500 odd participants(Covid restricted). Maybe with a route change that requires less interchanges it may be financially feasible. Will be tricky though to get to Tom Jenkins with minimal road closures.
agilwolf Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 From my email communication with Hectic Promotions the event is still going ahead, using the same route as 2019, unless changed by Tshwane Metro. Vetplant 1

The Ouzo Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 just entered. Havent felt nervous about entering a race in a long time. Might be because I've never done this one or because it will test my post lockdown fitness. Vetplant and Long Wheel Base 2

Everybody is pumped up on indoor training, but not so much on the bunch riding skillz... Underachiever and agilwolf 2

I'm pretty sure they won't leave it until the actual race day, you should know whether you will be able to ride before number collection starts. Not great for out-of-towners that need to arrange transport and accomodation, but in the current climate it is what it is.... Most fair process would be to go on when the entry was purchased and allow the first "500" or how many that took the gamble, and allow them to ride. You snooze, you lose... I think a lottery system will be unfair towards those that put their faith in the race early-on. The Ouzo and Long Wheel Base 2
