CSA Membership and licenses
This is a provincial race and sanctioned under Cycling South Africa, therefore the applicable rules by CSA, and by extension the UCI, will apply. Participants must have a CSA Membership to participate in this event.
In each case a reference to the CSA General Organisation of the Sport, Part 1 (effective 19.02.2019) and Part 3 (effective 25.02.2019), applies;
CSA Membership (as per 1.1.6) means a licence issued to any cyclist who wishes to participate in a Cycling SA sanctioned event, irrespective of any other licence which that member may hold. (As per 1.2.11) A Membership Licence allows a cyclist to compete in all sanctioned cycling events including inter-provincial events Provincial Championships and league races, excluding National Championships.
Thus, all participants must be in a possession of a CSA Membership to participant. Day Licences will not be allowed
Trouble with your CSA Membership or License?
We often get complaints about participants unable to enter due to a message about invalid CSA membership or license during the online registration process. Our system verifies both your CSA membership and CSA domestic racing license to be valid on the day of the event. Licenses expire on 31 December each year, so you should get a new 2026license for this event. Membership expires 1 year after your last renewal or purchase. This date could be prior to the event date. Carefully review both expiry dates before contacting us.
New membership or licenses, including renewals, can be purchased online on the CSA membership page.
We kick off th
e New Year with a new favourite. We are going back to De Werf, just off the N7 on Philadelphia Road. This is the perfect venue for cyclists to bring their family and friends along to – there is a market, a restaurant and plenty for the kiddies to do while Dad is out racing.
