To license or not to license that is the question ..

[Minion]

Well one needs to be quite good to be in cat 4? For if I understand correctly the first 600 rider’s according to ability (men and ladies) will make up cat 2-4?

The way I understand it is that it's the top 600 licensed entrants. If race results are a rough guide to seeding, then for a race like 94.7, anyone who finished faster than 2:43 this year would be eligible. That's most of the currently licensed bunches, most of the A bunch and a fair amount of guys from B-D.

 

Edit: you'd likely get even slower riders than that, since many of the A-D guys probably won't license, so others who have licensed can fill the spaces.

Stop worring about th license guys.No need to waste your money and time to get one.You think anyone is even going to ask you for it....please.Well at least not here in the Cape they won't.That will entail that someone actually has to do some work.I bet there will be no checks on license,kits etc.

license checking is done automatically online during race entry in kzn (if no license then day license added to your entry), and now this year i think a lot more online entry sites will be doing it

If you guys are talking about SABC TV licence then don't do it, they will even chase after you for money when you are dead

Hi everyone,

 

Just a heads up that Gavin Kilpatrick (aka as Spartikus on the hub) has started a cycling club - Cyclelink CC. Cost is also R50.00 - hubby and I are going to be signing up with Gavin.

Hey PG, OK we did it with Cyclelink (3 of us ....) and it took exactly 24 hours and the licence was in my grubby paws.

 

Well done to Gavin and CSA

That is brilliant news. He's a great guy. Just waiting for pay day and hubby and I will be officially signed up. Forms are ready and waiting. What can I say but it's been a hectic month with back to school and school fees

 

:clap:

you can Join Free State cycling for R100-00 annual fee which include the R75 CSA fee.

For those who really just want to ride without getting into clubs but also do not want temporary licence every time.

Could anyone explain to me why it is necessary to be a member of a club in order to get a licence.

This doesnt seem to serve any functional purpose and simply costs me more money for no actual gain.

Guess it is so that the clubs don't die. You can probably ask the question why take out a license as we can not see it serve any function.

Hi

 

Other threads seem to indicate that the world is ending quite soon so think the day licence route will give the best long term return.

[Spartikus]

if you are planning to do 4.5 races or more a year it would be beneficial to join the club as it saves ALOT of admin when entering
