SS Club & Races

[Riding in Africa]

Hello,

 

As their seems to be more SS riders these days, who would be interested in starting a SS only club????

 

The CGC rules say that we need 20 riders + R650 to regester the club + R75 Affilation fee + R75 licence fee =R182.50 Very cheap than joining some other clubs.

 

The DH riders started their own club last year and it has gone very well.

 

Also if we can get enough riders to commit to riding the provincial XC races then i will make a SS class and award provincial points/colours.

We could also have two levels, Grant Usher vs the rest!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would be keen to join, as long as I do not have to do all the races with the SS. I also do the odd road race

What would the club offer ?

At that price I guess just a cyclosport licence ....

What happened to the days when you met all your mates in the car park. Chose a route and raced. Then all had ice creams from the dude on the bicycle cart with a bell?

 

i would dig to race like this. Mailing list. meeting point and off we go.

 

We just need a few more southern suburbs peeps and an ice cream man who gets up early.

What would you want from a club????

 

Most clubs do not offer anything for SS riders, This way you would be able to meet like minded riders and then organize rides races create an identity.

 

It is just an idea!!!

Quite frankly most clubs offer absolutely nothing, this is why I am asking.

I am a singlespeeder and I honestly can't see what our "own" club would do to make life better.

Meting like minded people yes, but all else, I am not too sure.

If its "your club" then you make your own rules.

 

As i said the DH guys have done it and have run ther own club(GAS)race series as well as the provincial series very well. If you want to see how well come to there prize giving on the 4th December to see it working

It's worth a try I guess, it will attract a lot of posers though.

You're right. I'd join

Only those that have new carbon niner,s!!!!!!!B**tards

[EigerSA]

I think it's a pretty good idea, I would just add that you should break it down into individual chapters, as in a KZN ss chapter, a cape ss chapter etc...

 

And naturally we would need kit

I think instead of a club, there should be one ss race/rock concert per year, where ss riders from all over the country get together, race a tough course and party afterwards. A club takes a lot of effort and I think there are already too many mtb clubs in SA.

My ss should be ready soon. The other day I made a lousy attempt to ride only in one gear for as long as possible on my geared Mtb. I gave up after 10kms by changing to an easier gear on a little hill. With the ss I will now be forced to ride in one gear.
