The “Back to the 80s” event was held at Bellville velodrome on 20 May 2023.
There was significant growth on last year with more than 50 riders entering. The event is called “Back to the 80s” referring to gear ratios. Riders were restricted to a maximum ratio of 90-inch. It meant that riders had to use high cadence to turn up the speed.
The club competition included a team sprint. Team DSV leads the team competition after round 1.
Carl Bonthuys (CTC) leads Cat A.
We also had riders from Benin and Ivory Coast competing in the elite women’s competition. They are part of the World Cycling Centre – Africa.

Berty Mostert (WP track commission) kindly donated a Ciovita bag to be awarded to the most positive ride of the day. This went to Nuhaa Kamaldien (u13 Girls). This was her first event and she won her second race of the night by attacking the U11 boys and staying away.
