slowjoe Posted August 29, 2007 Share yeah, they finally starting to promote it as a training venue. Last year it seemed like they were doing you this big favour by opening the track. Cant wait till they put the spotlights up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted August 29, 2007 Share Wed is no pay to play (at least last week it was). I think this is to do with promoting track cycling and the 94.7. scotty2007-08-29 01:27:52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lulu Posted August 29, 2007 Share yeah, the training clinics for the 94.7 are always held at the track on wednesdays so people can go ride for free. I assume it will be like that till november Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokeSpoke Posted August 29, 2007 Share It has been some time since I have raced Kyalami. (About 15 years, use to be called Gestetner kyalami and I think the mine shaft was steeper back then). Use to race criterium (1 hour plus lap) entrance fee's where big (R20) but the pay out was worth it if you placed in the top 5. Use to pay for the weekends party Now, I would be happy to lap in 1 hour, still have R20 in my wallet at the end of the month, and wouldn't know of a party this weekend. Can someone tell me what the format is now, times, day's, entrance fees?

Lulu Posted August 29, 2007 Share did a couple of laps today and saw a few of the TCS guys there. I regonised IanJ but not sure about the others. all of them made me look like I was pedaling backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic Posted August 29, 2007 Share did a couple of laps today and saw a few of the TCS guys there. I recognized IanJ but not sure about the others. all of them made me look like I was pedaling backwards.  Indeed it was IanJ, no.one.knows, and I. I had nothing in my legs couldn't seems to get any rhythm going on the flats... going to be a long season  Still did our 10 odd laps (i think, i lost count at one ) so good training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
