Registration

There will be a registration point at the venue where Team Managers must collect their school’s number boards at least one hour prior to the start of racing. The number boards contain a timing chip with a rider’s details and cyclists may therefore not swop number boards! Should there be any children not represented by a Team Manager, they are to go to registration with a responsible adult. Registration opens at 7:30

Program

Start times may change closer to the time. Large groups may be split into separate start groups. Course and laps will be confirmed later this week.

Participants should be in the start chutes at least 20 minutes before the start of each category. Seeding of the groups will take place in the start chutes and late arrival may cause you to miss your seeded bunch.

Timing

An electronic timing system will be in use. Each number board has an embedded chip which the timing system will pick up. Participants are required to have their number boards attached to the front handlebars before the start of an event. No board, no time!

Please do not swap your timing board with another participant. Your personal information is stored on the timing system linked to the board you are issued with. The bike boards are to be kept for the entire series. If you lose your board between races, a new one can be purchased at registration at a cost of R50.
