Cycling SA Membership and licenses

This is a national race and sanctioned under Cycling South Africa, therefore the applicable rules by Cycling SA, and by extension the UCI, will apply. Participants must have a Cycling SA full racing license.

Cycling SA Racing License means a license issued to any cyclist who wishes to participate in a Cycling SA sanctioned event, irrespective of any other license which that member may hold.

Thus, all participants must be in a possession of a Cycling SA Full Racing License to participant.

Trouble with your Cycling SA License?

We often get complaints about participants unable to enter due to a message about invalid Cycling SA  license during the online registration process. Our system verifies both your Cycling SA membership and Cycling SA 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 2023 license 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 Cycling SA membership page.
