Velddrif 222 Velddrif

Not just another cycling event

We can't compare the V222V to the European 1 Day classics yet nor is it a seeding event for any funride but it is Two hundred & Twenty Two kilometres of hardcore uninterrupted tar. This is one event that every cyclist will want to have on their palmares.

The circular route from Velddrif passes through Piketberg before swinging north-west past Redelinguys and Elands Bay and then south for last 70 flat and fast kilometres back to Velddrif

It’s a challenging 222km

The racing will be a paced handicap with the slower batches starting first and faster participants starting with a time gap handicap based on each starting group's estimated average speed over 222..

AND to spice things up, we are incorporating a club/team competition to the race. Clubs and Teams can start together but they will start in the batch of the fastest seeded rider(s), so it’s important to have team members who are of similar strengths. Teams may consist of up to 8 members with the accumulated time of the first 6 riders across the line to determine the team's position overall. Ensure you have indicated your club/team during the registration process.

The event will have 3 competitions. Fastest Team, Line honours to the first person across the finish line and of course race honours to the rider with the fastest elapsed time overall! So plenty to race for.

Who will bite the bokkom first.
