Would these be part of PPA calendar or privately organized like these crit races?

These will be privately organized - PPA does not see place for racing reading between the lines!

Thank You Lights by Linea and all the other sponsors plus people directly involved:

"Lights by Linea

A very big thank you to all riders and spectators who made the Lights by Linea Pro Crit Night Series such a massive success.

The riders performed fantastically and the level of fitness improved on a weekly basis.

The prize giving was fantastic and we had Linus Van Onselen the newly crowned over 60 World Champion attend. Well done Linus.

Thank you to all the sponsors who played such a big role in the event Tiletoria, Regent Lighting Solutions, Osram, Flandria Cycles, Atlantic Forwarding, Liquid Blast Energy Drink, Virgin Active, Double Tree by Hilton Hotel Group, CWC Cycles Lutron, Waltons and Eikestad Motors.

We also ran a completion for a Table lamp to the value of R4000.00 for anybody who shared our post and the winner of that Lamp is Henk Neuhoff, well done Henk.

The winner of the sort after Zipp 404 Deep Section Carbon Wheels is Johan Fouche Cillier, well done Johan.

The prizes can be collected from 48 Marine Drive Paarden Eiland, please give us a call to ensure that Wayne is at the office when you collect your prizes.

Very well done all.

Wayne Roberts"

Fantastic initiative.

Really hope it is sustainable.

Really wish that others in the private sector can rise into this space.

Wayne Roberts in association with Alex Heward and Carinus Lemmer announced last SAT night that they will be hosting a Spring League this year, which will consist of circuit races of 120km+ with the longest one being 160km. The races will take place over 30-40km circuits. This is a huge step for cycling in CPT and right now is the perfect time for one system to take over another!

Old Hellshoogte is where the race goes up next weekend get your climbing legs ready! SHARE this post and support this series

Don't think PPA is about to expire any time soon. Their strength is mass participation - and that is growing, especially in mtb.

If someone else wants to cater for and nurture the serious racers, it can only be good for cycling. What is important however, is that it should be sustainable in the long term.

I am trying to keep PPA comment to PPA tread - but a big part of PPA road success has been looking after the more serious "fun riders." The 2013 Spring league they have decided to cancel even after making just over R25 033 off the leagues in 2013 (page 9 http://www.pedalpower.org.za/wp-content/plugins/downloads-manager/upload/2013%20AGM%20book%20Final.pdf )

I don't want to start a PPA debate under this thread! Go to the PPA Annual General Meeting 2013 thread and I am more than happy to debate this their!
