Pure Savage Posted October 3, 2019 Share I'm guessing the 2020 one is on ice?? http://www.stellenboschcycletour.co.za/ still listed as a seeding event for CTCTMedihelp Stellenbosch Cycle TourEvent Date: TBCDistance: 102kmType: RoadProvince: Western Capewww.stellenboschcycletour.co.zaDont think so, website is taken down.

Skubarra Posted October 3, 2019 Share Dont think so, website is taken down. Think it will happen again, but imo the new timeslot & venue killed off the Stellenbosch CT as a premium event. The early December date gave you something to work towards through spring as the last race before the end-of-year holidays, now it's just another PPA funride in the lead-up to the CTCT. Sad to think that at one stage this was the largest cycle event in the country after the Argus&94.7. Wannabe, MDJ and Pure Savage 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to think that at one stage this was the largest cycle event in the country after the Argus&94.7. i'm going on shaky memory here, but i think they have in the past really kept details announced late, including actual date. maybe they're still trying to work out how to get 3000 cars into val de vie in 90 minutes.

After Val de Vie, said would never do this again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPA are fairly flexible with their Sportif dates though? But you gave me an idea, this time round I will do the Sportif in December and skip the SCT in Jan (the date clash with Attakwas anyway) Pure Savage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karman de Lange Posted October 3, 2019 Share Its the old Bouckaert Soenen race now rebranded Thanks, just figured that out ... see its on feb 02 2020 .. so not sure where SCT can fit in without both events sacrificing entrants.. noone going to race 2nd week of Jan , and then its normally event every week or 2 till argus Edited October 3, 2019 by Karman de Lange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dev null Posted October 3, 2019 Share Skipping the SCT if it's going to be the same venue as this year. Definitely NOT sitting in another one hour traffic jam while staring at other people's money. I would much rather do one or two of the Sportifs. Edited October 3, 2019 by Moridin Skubarra and raptor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shebeen Posted October 4, 2019 Share so this is still a 2020 CTCT seeding event then, nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDJ Posted October 4, 2019 Share Cool, I'm game - happy to do any race over Hels and into Franshoek, love that route. I wouldn't be South African if I don't throw in a complaint though ... so here goes. We need a hill at the start, it was quite a dogshow with the large batches all the way until we go to Hels. All the mamils charging in super tuck down the hills to close off the road and get dropped on the climbs x 10. C'est La Vie ...
