Something new and different to get your warm this winter ! Burg Wheelers Cycling Club is hosting this fun and social event to raise funds for track renovations at the Sax Young Cycle Track in Pietermaritzburg. Open to Roadies, MTBérs and even eBike teams, and there are Junior (-18), Mixed (at least two ladies) and Master’s (60+) team categories.

All proceeds go towards new LED Globes and upkeep of the facilities. There will be snacks, drinks & prizes donated by various sponsors and the entry fee of R600 per team (of up to six riders) offers excellent value for participants.

This is a social event, so teams may start whenever they like and ride for as long as they want. Team members may also ride simultaneously, although we would like to see at least one rider per team going around the track at all times – if possible. The total combined distance of the six riders will be the Team Score.

The SA team’s luggage after the Continental Track Championships was certainly quite a bit fuller with all the medals won over the four days of competition and the three young riders from KZN certainly played their part in ensuring that it was a case of “mission accomplished” is Cairo. Courtney did extremely well as a first year elite winning four bronze medals and Ainsli came away with two golds, a silver and a bronze in the Junior Women category. James Swart was exceptionally good throughout entering six competitions and walking away with six golds and dominated the Junior Men’s category. He’s certainly going to be looking forward to returning to Cairo in September for the UCI Junior Track Cycling World Championships. Well done to our young riders for keeping the KZN flag flying high.

The provisional programme schedule for the 2020 SA National Track Cycling Championships that will be staged at the Sax Young Track in Pietermaritzburg is now available to be viewed.
