Jules Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 An unashamed cheapskate, I joined Standard Bank's cycling club for the free kit. Anyway the fees for 2009 have gone up quite a bit so I'm reviewing my options. From the CSA's website I gather it's compulsory to be a member of a club in order to be seeded at CSA events. If this is the case (perhaps someone can confirm?), what are the best value-for-money clubs out there? Are there any that offer free kit? Which club do you ride for? Is it giving you a good deal? I don't really mind which club I join so long as the kit isn't hideous and the club members don't have a reputation for unsportsmanlike behaviour.
TNT1 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Springs Wheelers is quite cheap, as is their kit, but, oh, wait, their kit is hideous...
Spinnekop Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Club whore. OK.....my deur....gotcha......
Capri Wheeler Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Jules, I ride with Capri Wheelers. The kit is VERY nice, comfortable shorts. They not a racing club so everybody is so friendly and always talkative. And you seem like a nice guy so I'll look after you and introduce you Meet at melrose Arch sundays at 7.... I would love you to join and TNT, when you say cheap, how much is it?
VincentBikes Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Just for comparison : Cycle Lab subs is R400 per year and your first kit is R400.
Capri Wheeler Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Jules, you dont wanna drive all the way to FOURWAYS to ride when you can ride right here!
AfricaMike Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Westgate Wheelers charges R400 for the first year (including a free club cycling shirt) and then R200 per year thereafter, including CGC affiliation fees.
TNT1 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 and TNT' date=' when you say cheap, how much is it? [/quote'] The chairman reckons 09 will be between 500-600 rond for subs including set of kit...TNT12008-11-10 06:30:30

Thug Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Std Banks fees if you renew prior to 30 Nov are R 550 which includes a set of kit(shirt & bibs) and your CGC affiliation. You ain't not going to get cheaper than that.

You ain't not going to get cheaper than that. Perhaps Thug, but it's always worth considering one's options before committing Michael, I think they do have hospitality for 94,7. It's at Chilli lane, isn't it?
