OG Imports Posted March 8, 2020 Share Hi guys, I was speaking to friends over the weekend and was told the East Rand Classic (supposed to be on 5 April) has been cancelled. There has been nothing about cancellation on their social media pages or website but the cycleevents entry page has been removed: http://www.cycleevents.co.za/road-events/takealot-east-rand-classic/#more-22066. Was keen to do this event but looks like its not happening now? anyone have more info on what the story is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted March 8, 2020 Share Still listed on ASG but entering the event it redirects you to Cyle events and an error stating its not found https://eastrandclassic.co.za/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter-morgan Posted March 8, 2020 Share Was always a nice 'n fast race but in my opinion a little over priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 8, 2020 Share If, what I heard, this isn’t the only race that will be missing from the calendar this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mecheng89 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Keen on the race. Rumours floating that ASG has money problems, but it's just a rumour. Let's hope we get confirmation soon, want to use it as a shake down race before Maluti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veebee Posted March 9, 2020 Share I was planning my trip for this over the weekend, then got onto Cyclevents this morning before seeing this and noticed its gone... its shame, was a good event and would have been ideal before the Maluti. Will probably have to do the Joburg Classic now. Opc_danny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtr1 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Dont know how they have money problems. All you win at the events is a voucher to spend at their shop. Which you cant use on discounted items. And everything is always discounted :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted March 9, 2020 Share CGC or should that be SGC now, are not aware its been cancelled, Entries were open for a while so surely by now those that have already entered should have been notified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertWhitehead Posted March 9, 2020 Share And even at their "discounted price" the prices are still 15-25% higher than everywhere else in SA Dont know how they have money problems.

Dicky DQ Posted March 12, 2020 Share Another ASG eventhttps://winelandsencounter.co.zaEntries are too high and people expect too much. I hope that we soon get back to doing races/rides that offer value for money. Who needs fully stocked feed zones and being carried in the lap of luxury? What happend to Water points that had just that, or maybe a few jelly beans/babys. Less effort/cost on manicuring the trails. Damn, cut a narrow walking trail and the riders ride it. All these races/rides (including the Epic) are normally less than 100km so you take two sachets of drink mix and you are sorted. Lets get real again.

the_roadie Posted March 14, 2020 Share Shared on our race group chat So the event has been canceled. And now ASG is using the Corona virus situation as a convenient excuse in their statement. Absolutely pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
