\nAfter a very successful debut in 2022\, the Velddrif 222 Velddrif returns. This circular route takes yo u inland from Velddrif to Piketberg before swinging north-west to Elandsba ai then south along the coast back to Velddrif. It’s a challenge! 222km with some serious climbs\, giving you 1300m of ascent. You’d better start training soon!
\nThe race will work on a handicap system with the s lower batches starting first. Start times will be issued to participants once the entries are closed.
\nAND to spice things up\, we are incor porating a club competition to the race. Clubs and Teams can start togeth er but they will start in the batch of the fastest seeded rider(s)\, so it ’s important to have team members who are of similar strengths. So get ta lking to your club mates and get entering. Teams may consist of up to 8 t eam members with the combined time of 6 team members counting for the team competition. Ensure you have indicated your club during the registration process.
\nThe event will have 3 competitions. Fastest Team\, Line honours will go to the first person across the finish line and of course r ace honours to the rider with the fastest elapsed time overall! So plenty to race for.
\nPlease find below the start lis t with batch assignments and start times.
\n\nThe route is a circular one\, starting and ending in Velddrif.
\n\nWPCA officials will use previo us race data to seed the start groups. Participants will be notified of t heir start group and time by email a few days before the race takes place.

\nThe second feed z one will be in the area of Redelinghuys\, 126km into the race.
\nThe final feed zone will be at SaamStaan\, on the way back to Velddrif. This zone is 188km into the race\, 35km from the finish\, and probably a neces sary stop for a lot of people.
