Chrispy Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Reason not to have it in March - its at the peak of track season.Reason to have it in June - its in the middle of road season. June is the middle of road season? Maybe in Europe. Why does the SA season mirror Europe? I never get that. Track is meant for winter when the weather is bad and road for summer. Those Aussies apparently are smarter than us. They get it' date=' we don't.[/quote'] According to UCI rules all nations must have their champs on the same weekend, normally end of June. But you can ask for a different date like most Southern Hemisphere nations does.
shadowchaser-d Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 I would prefer it to be in March, have always wanted to give SA's a bash but the winter months i find to hard to do decent training

It works. I know it doesn't rain in Gauteng in June, but it is miserable in the Cape and is it really the best time for nationals? What do the REAL pro's think? They should be the ones to ask as you want the stars to come out for this one. Not us wannabees and hasbeens.

Willehond Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Mrs Colonel, can you please take away your man's tackle? He's just hooked a big one and it's running! We're never going to hear the end of it. We are trying to have a semi-civilised discussion about the SA champs here

Having fun.When you race at that level we should not be a worry to you but rather the people you race against.Should you race nationals next year: Good Luck and God Speed.
Icycling Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Yo Anton - where have you learnt to write such good English - you were the Afrikaans (Rooi Kop)kid in Canada - (I was your asst manager their) amongst other events. So are you really going to start racing again? Good luck with the training! For all you Hubbers I can assure you Antons schedule of result are quite true so show some respect! One of the biggest problems in Cycling over the past 15 years is that we have not had any local rider to admire like we did in the old days (Alan van Heerden, Willie Englebrecht, Andrew McLean ate). For the sport to grow even bigger we need more local super stars in cycling! Or maybe a the petrol increasing in price 5 fold!
Spinnekop Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 One of the biggest problems in Cycling over the past 15 years is that we have not had any local rider to admire like we did in the old days (Alan van Heerden' date=' Willie Englebrecht, Andrew McLean ate). For the sport to grow even bigger we need more local super stars in cycling! [/quote'] Very true. But to be a "local super star" you need to be admired by people. Normally that goes with being humble and well mannered. Met die hoed in die hand kom jy ver in die land.
Comebackboy Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Is Malcom not someone who is admired as a local super star?? As far as i can remember he is humble and well mannerd?? and no one can argue that he has done some impressive stuff on the local scene!!!
