Slent Road Circuit Race
We are all accustomed to racing the Slent Road circuit as part of our season opening time trials, both individual and as a team. This time, we are racing as a group. This replaces Zevenwacht as the second leg of our double header, the first being at Atlantis on the 7th November.
COVID Regulations
We are still required to adhere to the COVID-19 regulations that have been published by the Department of Sport and Culture. To this end we require that all cyclists maintain social distancing while not racing. The use of masks prior to the start of the race is compulsory. You will be required to have your temperature taken at the entrance to the Registration Venue. This needs to be done before anything else upon arrival at the venue.
It is imperative that we adhere to the social distancing protocols. We are looking at ways to work within the bounds laid down by CSA and the Department of Sport and Culture to ensure that we can hold a successful event.
