Cape Winelands Cycling is hosting the Western Cape Road and TT Championship, and also incorporating the Cape Winelands Road & TT Championship from Saturday, 20 January 2018 to Sunday, 21 January 2018.

Number collection

You race numbers can be collected in advance;

Date: Friday, 19 January
Venue: Windmeul Cellar, Paardeberg (Use the navigation map above)
Time: 15h00 – 18h30

Or on the day, starting at 06h00 each day.

Timing Chips

Riders with a Mobii timing tag assigned to their name should bring this along. Do not another person’s tag, as your time will then not be recorded. Please get your tag tested at number collection, as the batteries do run flat even when not used. We do not support RaceTec tags!

Riders without a Mobii can collect one at number collection, preferably on Friday, so not to be rushed. Riders must pay R100 IN CASH and is refundable at the end of the event. These tags cannot be purchased (they are not ours to sell).

Managers Meeting

All managers must report to the manager’s meeting, which will take place at 07h30 on Sunday morning at the start line. Please bring along your valid CSA Managers License for verification.
