We have a new race added to our calendar – Kalbaskraal.  This is the third race in our league series and it’s a good one.  64.5km and 550m of climbing – twice, for the Category 1’s and 2’s

Cyclists start at the Kalbaskraal Rugby Club, and ride in an anti-clockwise direction, taking in Philadelphia Road, past the silos, before heading to Malmesbury on the R304, then turning back towards Kalbaskraal.

The event forms part of the WP Road League for 2023.  Race entry costs R275 for senior riders and R175 for scholars and U19 Development.  Entry into the league for the race number and timing board will cost an additional R50

Route

The race starts at the Kalbaskraal Rugby Club and heads in a southerly direction towards Durbanville.  A left turn onto the Philadelphia Road takes us along to the T-Junction with Wellington Road.  Another left, past the silos, before turning left again, back towards Malmesburg.  A final left before hitting Malmesbury brings us back towards Kalbaskraal.  There is a railway crossing just before Kalbaskraal that you need to be aware of.  The finish line will be just before the railway crossing on your second loop (those that are doing 2 loops)
