scotty Posted January 25, 2010 Share Full license if you want to race provincial and nationals, otherwise cyclosport lic is needed. If you have cyclosport lic and your seeding is good enough to qualify for the vets 40+ you will be slotted in depending on how much space there is, otherwise you will be seeded in open category. If you are seeded in the vets but would rather race open then you can fall back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan4251 Posted January 26, 2010 Share cool, Thanks for the help. If i dont license will i then automatically be seeded in the open class according to my previous times all depending if the race was timed by champion chip or racetec. One other thing is when i enter a race am i automatically seeded licensed or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kori Posted January 26, 2010 Share i also found the explanation on the my race site rather lame.in the past you have always been required to produce a lisence for any of the racing groups in all the big events.it seems its no longer needed.

alan4251 Posted January 26, 2010 Share ok, so if its not needed anymore then how the hell does it work because i really want to ride in groups that are at the same level as what i am. and not have to dodge and dive traffic in the open class, that kills me and really buggers up my time.

Try ROAG membership is free, you just need to take out a CSA lic (R75 for Cyclosport) http://www.roag.co.za/about/2010-licensing.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fandacious Posted January 26, 2010 Share someone mentioned the other day that if you had PPA membership, you automatically had a cyclosport license. is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted January 26, 2010 Share Forgot to add cyclosport is multi discipline, so you can race road, mtb, BMX, track, anything on 2 wheels without an engine or 1 in the case of a unicycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankman Posted January 26, 2010 Share someone mentioned the other day that if you had PPA membership' date=' you automatically had a cyclosport license. is this true?[/quote'] Yes fan, this is true. I emailed PPA regarding this and they said Cyclosport is included with your yearly membership - valid until end of June/July (whenever they renew). When asked what if I get asked to produce this cyclosport license at an event... "just show them your ppa membership card" Tankman2010-01-26 02:11:03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan4251 Posted January 26, 2010 Share ok, I have registered with Roag and have gone to CSA's website registered and purchased a cyclosport license. Tell me what happens now, do they post your license to you or what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"just show them your ppa membership card" thats pretty cool... So now I dont need to purchase a cyclosport license to race league, or SV @ the argus. However, you will need a full license to race nationals / provincials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
