2020 SA Road Champs

[Long Wheel Base]

It looks like VERY few ladies have entered. Such a shame.

I see Daryl Impey, is somewhere close to Hoodspruit in Limpopo, some friends also mentioned it is in that area.

We should have some age group SA Champs already.

 

Not quite PE, but at least its happening

 

 

Anyone have some ears on the ground in the bush??

Is it normal that only about 3 to 5 people partake in the age cat group TT's per cat? Somehow I expected more?

There is another thread about SA champs, Possibly the CSA thread? I remember discussing it recently and non of those posts are here.

I haven't followed SA champs for a few years, so I can't comment on the last 3 years or so, but this problem of depleted fields for women is not unique to this event. The remoteness of this event is probably compounding the situation, but there seems to be a bigger problem somewhere else (cue the WTF CSA thread).

Are there ever big numbers for the TT?

From what I can find, 12 Elite ladies at last year's event (actually more than the Elite men, 9 starting). The biggest field then was men 35-39, where 18 rode.

Have a look at "HA Toere" on Facebook. 

 

A lot of the Vets podiums only have 1 rider! (Not sure if they are the only rider to attend the podium ceremony or merely the only rider who entered).

You also a fan of whatsapp web I see.

It’s convenient on the desktop.

Can someone with more knowledge clarify the minimum number of riders needed to qualify for a medal or jersey? I see a lot people standing on the podium alone with a jersey.

Can't remember.  Think 3 or 5 participants.

Remote place on earth.

Last year in Pretoria we had AMAZING big field and great spectator crowds.

 

I see Australia has fixed their venue of Nationals for the next 3 or 5 years.  

How clever.  Bring cycling to the people and KEEP IT THERE.  Novel idea.

And I type a hell of a lot faster on a keyboard.
