Has ROAG (KZN Sports entry website) shut down?

[ajnkzn]

Hi Team

 

Does anyone know if ROAG is no longer?

 

There only seem to be Mauritius based races on the site now.

 

Bizarre - until end 2024 it was the default place for MTB, Trail running, multisport and even some road bike races.

 

Where will one enter all of the races that used to form part of the 8-10 race ROAG / Quattro MTB series now - I see that it's been renamed the KZN Super Classic Series on the calendar.

 

Does anyone have the inside scoop on what happened?

I think ride-online.co.za has replaced ROAG as far as club memberships go.  I'm not sure about race entries, a lot of the KZN Gravity entries have been moved to the CSA platform.

Dear Meezo

As you have probabaly already heard, ROAG and Club ROAG are closing down at the end of August, bringing to a close nearly 20 years of a KZN sporting industry icon.

You are recieving this email because your Club ROAG membership is due to expire between September and December 2024.

But fear not, as there is an alternative!

Ride-Online is going live on 1 September 2024, and will operate in in the exact same way as the old Club ROAG,
and will be run by some of the same people, namely myself, Tim Whitfield, and Louisa Whitfield.

Ride-Online is a virtual club with no facilities or club house. There are no fixed facilities which means great savings on all the extras associated with a physical club.
The club is officially registered with various sports bodies, such as Cycling South Africa, an provides club members with a cost-effective oppourtunity of registering with those sports bodies

The price will remain the same until the end of December 2024, at R155 per year.

So please head over to www.ride-online.co.za when you need to renew your club membership

Kind Regards
