Results & Pics: Polkadraai Series #3 presented by Lights by Linea

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.

That's the trick.

Especially in the cash-crunched world we live in.

I can't seem to find the link online to enter the league series?

Online entries will be opened on gustpay.com latest tomorrow afternoon....meanwhile you may enter for the Eikestad Heritage Pedal on www.stellenboschcycling.co.za

Timed, ran, and presented with same level you are accustomed to in Western Cape for last umpteen years.

Guys, seriously. Not everyone is on Vleisboek, Vyskoek, Facebook of wat ookal. Setup a website with a discussion board please.

What are the requirements to race do you need a day license from CSA?

Allee Bleue, 40km circuit around Wemmershoek and Simondium, R45

Is there a dedicated website to this? Nobody really seems to know what's up?

Only way is using the portal (link) on facebook - Light by Linea page

The system requires you to register and pay for all events.

Only credit card payments allowed.

No info on venue, registration, payment at registration, enter of only one event, etc.

Time seems to be 11:00 and venue is Stellenbosch (exactly where?)

Bit of a rocky start
