Hello all

Headlines in this mornings BURGER is that of yet another rider’s death while training.

A lot of tips follow the report including the fact that we should train in groups, that we should wear reflective gear etc. etc. This will not solve the problem of drunk drivers and people with aggressive attitudes that drive on our roads.

We often wonder why we belong to clubs. The reason is that we are always reminded of the safety aspects and we have the chance to ride in highly visible groups. The call thus also to wear our club colours as the tops can be seen from far due to the highly visible colours that were chosen.

This does not absolve cyclists from blame1

We must also obey basic cycling standards. Please don’t get upset if someone in the bunch calls for orderly riding.

Enough said

I unfortunately did not get any results of the BURGER race. Drop me a line if you know of any PB’s etc.

Hopefully there will be an attachment with next year’s CSA program
The rest is usual cut and paste

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.

Contact us via the gmail address or Charlesnesbitt@woolworts.co.za

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
