Carnival City Macsteel National Classic Cycle Race
The 30th edition of the ever-popular Carnival City Macsteel National Classic Cycle Race will be held on 23 February 2014, just two weeks before Argus. Carnival City and Macsteel continue their sponsorship of this magnificent event which is again hosted by the Rotary Club of Germiston in conjunction with Germiston Wheelers.
The race is a seeding event for this year’s Momentum 94.7 Cycle Challenge and gives competitors a chance to ride the 160km, 120km, 103km or 65km event. With road safety in mind, rolling road closure will take place from 06:00 on the day of the event.
On request from CSA, and to start bringing the event in line with international distances, the Elite Men will ride 10km further on a new 160km route. The event is CSA sanctioned.
This event is a fun day out for the whole family with 160km for the elites and a 65km to get the legs kicking.
Distances & Fees
160km – R270
120km – R250
103km – R240
65km – R170
Once again, ChampionChip will be used to provide accurate timing and results for this event. All cyclists, including licensed cyclists, are required to make use of a ChampionChip. Those cyclists that do not have a chip can purchase one with their entry. Entries can be done online at www.championchip.co.za
All cyclists that are present at prize giving will be eligible to enter the lucky draw by filling in the tear-off coupon on their race number. Two Mongoose Tyax Sport 9R’s are up for grabs and numerous other exciting prizes. In addition every R10 donated through the entry process also gets you one entry into the charity draw where you can win a Cannondale CAAD10 105 to the value of R20 000. Prize giving for all the licensed cyclists will start 10:30, while the main prize giving will start at 12:30. The lucky draw will take place at the main prize giving ceremony.
The event has teamed up with Lynx Couriers to provide a race number courier service, which can be selected as part of the online entry process. For a small fee, entrants can have their race pack delivered to their door.
The race is a ‘Ride for Charity’ event and all proceeds are ploughed into deserving areas within the community, more specifically Rotary Community Projects, The Rotary Foundation and Germiston Wheelers Charity Projects and the development of amateur cycling.
