Hello to all the Wannabees
Die winter is hier in al sy Kaapse glorie.
I am sure the ‘die hards’ were out and doing their thing on the bikes where as most of us were just cuddled up and happy to see the rain.
Lekka watching the 7’ns BOKS and ‘die BULLE’ doing their thing from the comfort of my armchair.
The nationals were held in Oudshoorn. No formal results have reached me at time of writing, so please keep me informed.
Klara Rossouw het in Pretoria gaan deelneem aan die finale byeenkoms van die MTB XC (Olympics) SA Cup Championship Series. Klara het in haar ouderdomsgroep (Junior Women) derde plek behaal (bronsmedalje). Met die XCO-reeks (5 byeenkomste) nou afgehandel verskuif die fokus na die MTB XC (Marathon) Series van 7 nasionale byeenkomste. Die eerste twee is reeds afgehandel met Klara wat tans derde plek op die punteleer beklee.
Baie geluk Klara
Hiermee ‘n brief van ‘n trotse vrou, dis die soort interaksie en inligting wat ons wil deel met almal want ons is trots op die besondere prestasies.
Hi Danie, Ek het nou net jou email gelees en sien dat julle al die WannaBees se resultate noem. Fred bly nou wel nie in die Kaap nie maar ek wil darem sy prestasies met julle deel, as n lid van Wannabees. Hy het Saterdag 23 Mei 2009 die laaste been van die Series 5 MTB Mazda MTN Nat XC in Fountains Pretoria gery en is nou die Nat SA Kampioen in die Grandmaster kategorie. Dan is daar die laaste kroning wat gaan plaas vind by die UCI African Continental XC Champs op die 11 Julie by Mankele MP waar hy gaan deelneem.
Hierdie Saterdag 30 Mei is die SA Nat Pad Kampioenskappe in Oudtshoorn waar hy ook gaan deelneem. Hou duim vas!
Fietsry groete,
Ina van Zyl
Herewith a note from PPA
BACK NUMBERS AT MTB EVENTS
Please remember to bring and wear your PPA seeded number at all events, including MTB events. If you forget your number at home, you'll have to buy a back number at the event (either R5 for an unseeded number or R30 for a seeded number).
Additionally, all riders who are not members of either PPA or any affiliate of Cycling South Africa, will in future have to pay a R30 day license fee to CSA for all MTB routes over 20km, and all road routes over 40km.
Herewith some other reminders and news.
The club rides will still be coordinated on Saturdays and Sundays with the new starting time 07h00 at W/Stone village centre.
Please ensure that you have good front and back lights on your bike. There are still some riders with very poor lights on their bikes.
Riders who still want to join the DC training groups, contact John via the club e-mail or follow the training schedule on the blog.
The next training ride will be on the weekend of the 14th of June. More next week.
Wannabee Entry forms for club membership are available at Maverick cycle shop and Helderberg Cycle world.
Please put the blog address on your computer as a hotspot.
