JA-Q001 Posted January 5, 2015 Share I say lets do a "no start" protest at the next BIG race. Asking them to just make number collection possible on the morning of the race at least. For racing groups they can even only have number collection and sign in on the morning of a race, opens an hour before and closes 15min before each racing groups start. Then the CSA official does not have to waste their own time on 2 days prior to a race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickc Posted January 5, 2015 Share So a year later. We now have Sumsung S4's, Ipone 5s, 4G, 3D printers, we have landed a guy on the moon. blah blah blah And yet we still cannot print our own race numbers. I have to drive to Johannesburg. Fork out toll fees. And collect a piece of paper that I can print at home. Seriously? Nobody have a better idea? Still after our money that we spend at bike shops when we collect the race number? Ag no man. MTB is going the right way Spidey, all the Advendurance hosted races - permanent no (SASEEDING) and for the Nissan Series free Registration Pack delivery to your home - Free, I think thats forward thinking. Now the road race organisers need to get on the bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broker Posted January 5, 2015 Share I think we need to hang this on the big clock. Lets send the link to this thread to Carte Blanche as well as Supercycling and see if they, especially Supercycling are brave enough to have this issue discussed on the program. I will forward this to Supercycling and to Carte Blanche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DieBees Posted January 5, 2015 Share I dont see anyone doing anything about it. It is dictated onto us. But hey, maybe it gets aired. I also always have to arrange a day extra or ask someone to help! Hating it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubarra Posted January 5, 2015 Share So ANY race organisers out there that has thought of a better idea of printing race numbers? Thus far everyone wants me to ride through 2 days prior to the race to pick up a piece of paper.......I have now made a FIRM point of NEVER buying anything from any shop that "hosts" this race number pickup things Any organisers that are willing to "team up" and give ONE race number to an entrant to compete in say 4 different events?Gauteng wise.......I would buy a "package deal" where I get one number for all these events:Fast oneSerengetiRide for SightCarnival CityBerge and Dale And yet nothing..... Us Capetonians don't appreciate how good we are having it with PPA running things (despite their flaws) One day Gauteng might just wake up and get with the times....

Spinnekop Posted January 5, 2015 Share See we need to go and register at the Central Gauteng offices for the Gauteng Champs :-(Jip. Fast One in Jhb.Same with every other race I want to do....... I wonder how many money the organisers loose by forcing riders to pick up their numbers instead of printing it themselves? O yes....now I remember.....organisers doesn't make any money....so it just gets written off as another cost..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatGusto Posted January 5, 2015 Share Spinnekop - why not put up a poster at your LBS asking for people to share in the cost of sending one person per race to JHB to collect numbers for everyone in your 'hood? Easy to share cost if there are 10 or 15 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broker Posted January 7, 2015 Share Response I got from Cycling SA - Thanks for getting back to us Greg I have forwarded you mail to our GM Mr Mike Bradley for comment (mike@cyclingsa.com) he is in constant contact with Race organisers and better placed to take up the concerns with them. Regards, Greg Gregory van HeerdenSecretary General Cycling South Africa Our GM has indicated that he is looking into a Cycling SA ranking system that could potentially provide permanent numbers for road racing, but in the interim will bring the matter to the attention of those event organisers which sanction with us.

I will forward this to Supercycling and to Carte Blanche.Doubt supercycling will help. Who is the face of supercycling? Where do we have to go to register? Do some of us buy stuff while we there? I'm pretty sure they benefit from it financially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to share cost if there are 10 or 15 people.You get 15 different people.......6 are licensed, 3 does not have their licenses yet, 3 funriders and 3 still wants to enter.... Won't work as it becomes a battle to the guy that has to pick the numbers up. Just make me print my own number? Why is this foreign????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
