Won't be able to race National Champs then. Did they not maybe starting to apply for sanctioning after the tragedy 2 years ago? Just wondering out loud, but nothing on their website, and CSA calendar has TdW already listed so seems likely Winelands is still only PPA covered.

What is the difference between an event being "CSA santioned" vs needing a CSA license or CSA day license for an event ? The Winelands web page says PPA sanctioned and CSA (day) license needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPA - From the Winelands race webpage, also same wording on Entry Ninja - CSA - From Entry Ninja, when registering for Winelands - Just showing what I see on Entry Ninja ... Open to learn from those that speak CSA, as to what all of this means ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranE Posted October 2, 2023 Share Winelands isn't CSA sanctioned it's a load of Bull, if anything goes wrong it's tickets for you. My son was punched during event and we couldn't take legal action simply because it's not a sanctioned event. I also believe that SA Road Champs is being held from 28th January 2024 so what now🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Chris mentioned - when you enter they mention a CSA license, so I am sure that they will be sanctioned. I wouldn't read too much into the clash of dates with the TdW, this happens all the time with mtb and gravel events that are CSA sanctioned. The only big event I am aware of that is not CSA sanctioned is Karoo to Coast Edited October 2, 2023 by Skubarra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbr Posted November 8, 2023 Share On cycling SA site. Looks like it is now sanctionned ? Fact that I have no idea what my current seeding index is AND that I missed Durbie Dash and One tonner makes me consider doing this rather than Tour de worcester that I was entered for and has been pushed on the same day...

Given that this is not PPA/Racetec/Finish Time i dont think normal seeding would apply? Also same date as Winelands Cycle Tour which is disappointing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also same date as Winelands Cycle Tour which is disappointing Winelands is a seeding event. They have a very different starting order to most other races I have done. The racing snakes have their starting groups. Then the Tandems. Then a few more fast groups. Then the e-bikes. And then the weekend riders start .... (would be interesting to hear how they seed the top riders) They have an early price giving, and a lucky draw session. No absurd long wait for the fast riders .... Then a few hours later there is another lucky draw session for the weekend riders. BEST VIBE of any road event I have experienced. mikkelz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamil Posted November 10, 2023 Share I'm still in 2 minds as to where I'll be on 28 Jan. Leaning towards Worcester just for some variety on my Strava heat map. Skubarra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with the clash of dates the turnout will probably be small, might just turn out to be a long solo 140km if you get dropped early.... but since I have never done it before and the normal date always clashes with other events I will make the effort. With Oudtshoorn done its the only road race in the WC I still need to tick of my bucket list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
