The Saint Posted August 6, 2007 Share So here is the deal. As much as I bitched and moaned about the licensing issue I went ahead and applied for a Cyclo sport License, paid my 75 bucks and filled out the forms. My Cyclo Sport License duly arrives today in the post - thank you very much. Date Of Issue - 31-07-07 Valid Until - 31-12-07 ??????? Ummmmm did I just buy a 5 month license? My understanding is that it would be valid for 1 year. This system seems to me that licenses are only valid for the year in which they are issued. Therefore getting a license in December 2007 is only going to secure you a license for 1 month. Can somebody please explain this to me or have I just missed something?

Delgado Posted August 6, 2007 Share Surely then the amount you should have paid would need to have been pro-rata'd? Oops!!!!........an "innocent" oversight by the authorities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerFace Posted August 6, 2007 Share I agree. A pro-rata rate would only be fair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted August 6, 2007 Share I will refrain from further comment until the relevant authorities get back to me on this issue, as stated I may have missed something in the documentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frame Breaker Posted August 6, 2007 Share I have also applied... how long did it take before you received your Licence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saint Posted August 6, 2007 Share Check with your club as to when they submitted your forms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frame Breaker Posted August 6, 2007 Share Thanks. Will do.By the way I don't think it is a bad deal if the following applies..a) You are going to do two races before the end of the year and don't have to pay for the temp licence at R 30.00orb) you intend to do more than two races, in which case you will still be in the seeded groups as you are only allowed two temp. licences for the year. Or have I got it wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rad006 Posted August 6, 2007 Share i expected as much thats the problem with licensing with a club as such or CGC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willehond Posted August 6, 2007 Share I also bought a licence recently through Pedalpower and yes, R75 for a Cyclosport and I don't have the option of temp licences if I want to ride league! Funny that, I would have expected CSA licences to run per cycling year (like PPA from 1 July onwards) or at least do a pro rata thing. Disappointed...

quinton Posted August 6, 2007 Share They have no pro rata concept for the licenses. They have a flat fee per annum no matter when you join in that year. The finner fin print they don't tell you if you don't ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groot Lem Posted August 7, 2007 Share THere used to be a discount if you join after 1/7 of a year. Your club shouldh've told you, if that is where you got your forms. I think licencing is in line with UCI calender year rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtrider Posted August 7, 2007 Share and so the rip-off continues ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIVETRAIN Posted August 7, 2007 Share MMmmm I'm reminded each time I read these posts why I don't race any longer - such petty issues around licencing & the fees one has to pay just to enter events that for me has become dull & insignificant due to me having to pay for a licence & only got a few months worth ?? - yes like many others I've done .... As far as timing goes & Timing companies not honouring contracts (SHAME FOR THOSE THAT RACE AGAINST THE CLOCK) truth be told I'm waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy past the stage of cracking & wanting to crack sub 3's & what not - I purposfully left my chips at home & raced for the fun of it - hey thats just me ... So enjoy the diatribe of authorities enforcing licencing on us mere "fun riders" or whatever way U wanna put it & enjoy racing ... not for me DT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
