2 X 2 Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 CAADman, I take it that you took out the licence for road? This licence will enable you to enter road races and be seeded for them. If you, however like to also do a bit of offroading, like me, you will be required to take out a licence for Mtb asswell. Otherwise you will have to take out a day licence when entering an Mtb race
Prince Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Backlash, like your signature. I have read all the Hitch Hikers Guide books about three times!
driewiel Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 I e-mailed Gail Heuvel and received the application form. It refers to a R75 primary membership and a R150 direct affiliation. I asked which of these we would have to pay, and she replied "both". Nothing is as simple as it seems??
2 X 2 Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 If you start to take part in other diciplines like track and Mtb you will be required to take out licences for those diciplines, which costs about R20.00 per dicipline, I think
Prince Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Ok now im confused. The form i got from Gail has no mention of R150 anywhere!!
Nettie R Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 So if the membership fee is per year, do we enjoy the benefits of affiliation untill next year July, or do we have to do this all over again in Jan 2008?
shova Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 That is awesome news to all cyclists as well as race organisers! Well done to CGC
Tims Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 In the <?:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Free State we are required to join a club to get a license. R75 for the cyclo sport license and it is only valid till end of 2007. I am officially a registered fun rider now.
big.mamma Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Shova it sounds more like a ripp off than good news. What do you do with the R 30 day license fee?
mallo Posted July 10, 2007 Author Posted July 10, 2007 Guys CGC is in the process of setting up a total licencing package for 2008 not because they want you money only but it has become LAW from CSA to do so. We are like the car drivers complaining about road rage taxi's etc yet we ride without seatbelts and change lanes without indicating(Does that makes us any better?) You do not need to licence period but if you want to partake in any formal racing from now onwards do the right thing and either join the province or a club and get on with it. By the way are you guys aware of the fee structure CSA will implement next year for licencing both Full and Cyclosport. I believe CSA and the provinces are heading in the right direction and YES it will piss some persons off but where does one start to address these issues. It would be interesting to hear the opinions of the "Riders Association" with regards this matter.
shova Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 The license money goes to the CSA - perhaps you can contact them. I know that they have big plans to grow cycling and to make the structure sound which I think is a great idea! No - sorry the Shova is not a rip off - you get good value for your money!
shova Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Well done CGC - if we all look at things in a positive way we will make cycling better for everyone - Annie
driewiel Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 OK, lets worry about 2008 when we get there. I am sure CSA are pure in their motives and it does make sense, maybe not financially. What concerns me is 2007. Now according to CGC i can affiliate direct (R75 + R150) which will give me entry and seeding in the remaining races for 2007. Good, so R225 to get a sort of license, compared to R248 for my car?? Now, what about 2008, do we still have the direct, maybe direct with CSA?? Do we have to join a club, club gear, membership, license???? I just feel that once again, the people enetring the races, thats the bulk of us "fun riders"are forking out stacks of cash, fine if we had some idea what it was for and even better if we knew how it would al work. Instead we have several ideas floating around but no hard and fast answer, like pay this and you can race and be seeded. Sitting on my A$$ and drinking beer is maybe not such a bad option, pity about the bike
