Hello all

With the DC on this weekend, just to wish all the riders and supporters a wonderful day.

Between John and Petie the weather could be warm and humid with no wind to slightly overcast and a bit of wind and rain. Make your choice.

The main thing is to make sure that you are appropriately dressed, well hydrated and well stocked with energy food. It is a long day in the saddle.

At this stage already a thanks to all the supporters along the route.

Unless your team has decided otherwise, we will use Helderberg Cycle World’s gazebo as a meeting spot post race.

Each team has received an allocation to be used as they see fit, so no other refreshments will be supplied by the committee.

Morning rides

No official training program will be in place until the Argus next year. Riders can however get together at 06h00 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, if they so wish, and do some group training

Saturday and Sunday rides will be coordinated as usual from Waterstone village at 06h00. Be aware that over the holiday season we may have many visitors riding with us, help the committee to keep good and safe riding principles in place. Please try to wear your Wannabee top on a weekend ride.

A new batch of riding tops is available. Please contact us if you need a new top

Membership

We ask all the riders to please rejoin for the next 12 months.

In the previous year we managed to spend the whole R250 on members who joined in club activities.

We endeavour to once again have regular club rides in the New Year. We look forward to breaking the 160 mark in membership for the next year.

CSA news

We are not quite sure how the CYLOSORT licence system and seeding will work next year.

We have received a preliminary report from CSA but it does not yet make much sense as to where the clubs, PPA, the non existing WPCA and CSA all fit together.

We shall keep you all up to date as we get more info.

RACE ENTRIES

Remember that those who want to enter the big races, our club name is still officially CYCLING CLUB HELDERBERG and not the WANNABEES.

We are however trading as the WANNABEES

Check the Dirtopia website and the PPA websites for the latest in racing and fun ride fixtures.

Wannabee Entry forms for club membership are available at Cycle Addiction and Helderberg Cycle world
