Big Mig Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Hey all join us for a recently launched Kermesse Series on the East rand. A NEW SERIES FOR THE RIDERS BY THE RIDERS ? European style racing<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />See attached photo of 1st Club DCB Logistics / FIT Kermesse held this Saturday at Serengeti golf Estate near <?: prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Kempton Park off the R21.There were 3 categoriesElite/Open, won by Christoff van HeerdenVets 30+, won by James CrawleyVets 40+, won by Sean WheelerOnly R70 to enter All entry money goes back into the prizes so the more we have entering the bigger the purse Roads are smooth and swept before each race No traffic to contend with Elite & Open Vets 30+ Vets 40+ Vets 50+ Novice & LadiesThe day was a huge success with Serengeti spoiling us after the ride by providing drinks and snacks. What a nice touch. The riding is hard but great training and even if you get dropped, and I know how that feels, you can ride your own pace to the end.We hope to see you at the next upcoming dates below. We will be starting a beginners and ladies race of 20 minutes + 1 lap as well.Dates11 October1 November8 NovemberNext years schedule to followWe hope to grow this event by inviting as many as possible. Spread the word & inform your club members. All are welcome.
Spinnekop Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I heard you guys were doing something over the weekend.....Thought it was some sort of "closed" crit only for the rich and famous....

Contaminated Haggis Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I missed out on the this first one cos I had to study. Will definitely be getting my @ss to the next ones.
Big Mig Posted October 6, 2008 Author Posted October 6, 2008 Thanks guys. We are really looking forward to growing this for all concerned. All money will go dtraight back into cycling and the event in particular. AND no rich and famous can join us, but be careful we are East Rand boys.
SGW Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 1st one i have done, it was great fun and very well organised, thanks for putting in the effort. Glad to see there is an opportunity for 1st timers and novices to participate this coming weekend too,
Hampsten Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 What a great format of racing, Kermesse, the good old fashioned Belgian way, approx 1km circuit, one nice long interval session. Spectators soaking up the atmosphere! and enjoying a day out with the loved ones!I must say i hope it goes from strength to strength and all concerned keep the motto...."by the cyclists for the cyclists" Non profit is great, and all entries go to the prize purse. A Ladies and open category is great from 2pm for R 30.00 20min + 1 lap And the serious lot from 2:30pm for R 70.00 1hour + 1 lap with 3x 15min primes

MsBehavn Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I think this sounds like a great idea but see that it's for licenced riders only. Is that correct?
turtlek Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 yes but Big Mig has arranged an open category aswell if i am not mistaken
MsBehavn Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Ok, thanks turtlek. Will see if I can get confirmation from him.
turtlek Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 just give him a pm he is online at the moment
Big Mig Posted October 28, 2008 Author Posted October 28, 2008 It was orginally only fro Licensed riders but we have opened to all now. We have a novice and ladies section as well as open + elites then all vet categories. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE LICENSED FOR ANY OF THESE.
