Due to the fog and safely concerns the Lady Loch race started a bit later than planned, but the extra wait was well rewarded. The undulating hills of this well known circuit ensured a challenging race, resulting in a number of break-aways.
The results from the weekend is nearly ready, delayed due to technical reasons. Here the results for the Lady Loch circuit. All queries should be directed to results@wpcycling.capedjco.co.za.

Getting accurate results
We still find a number of problems in getting the results out to you in time. Our aim is to have the results available online as you cross the line, not 2 days later. But we need your help.
You must have a Mobii timing tag; we still find riders participating with no tag. In future this will not be allowed for Cat 1 and 2 and we will force you to buy/rent a tag.
Your tag must be working; we are pro-actively identifying riders with faulty tags. We see the tag in the video, but we do not have results. The tag battery lasts about 2 years, but under certain conditions it can run down quicker, like when you leave your bike close to the finish line, where it will stay activated. We will replace your battery free of charge.
The tag must be correctly assigned to your name; we have identified instances were we do not have any record of your tag. This could be a result of recording/entering the wrong tag number into the system. These tags will appear as not working and this forms part of our process to get those records updates.

On Sunday 9 April, the Killarney Race Track played host to vehicles of a different kind – ones that run on pedal power! Local cycling club, The Outriders, together with Just Property and Western Province Cycling Association (WPCA), celebrated a festival of cycling which had something for everyone, from kids as young as two years old to the elites who were out to score points on the League board.

The events included circuit racing for the serious riders (split into category 1, 2 and 3), Juniors and Schools racing, a Criterium, as well as an inter-club, ladies only, and kids’ races, the last three providing non-licenced riders the opportunity to experience the thrill of racing at Killarney. The Just Property kids races took place on the adjacent karting track, with the top three in each age group receiving medals. All participants went home with a certificate.
The future is bright for cycling in South Africa
The day’s events culminated in a 20-minute criterium. Designed for maximum spectator value, the course took the riders on a technical and tricky route through the pits. ”I loved the crit format”, Category 1 winner Martin Fryer enthused. “It was quite nerve-wrecking, but it was technical, short, interesting, and great for the public – we should have more races like this in the Western Cape.”
Killarney provided the perfect venue, with its smooth, car-free surface, as well as being safe and spectator-friendly. Organiser of the event and Chairman of the Outriders was thrilled with the success of the Festival, “It was a fun and family-friendly event. We really wanted to provide something for every level of cyclist and it’s safe to say we succeeded in doing that. However, the event couldn’t have been pulled off without the support and commitment of the club members.”
The Outriders meet every Saturday morning outside Planet Fitness in Parklands and encourage riders of all levels to come and join in their rides. Visit www.theoutriders.co.za for more about the club and the various ride times on offer.
