Cycle Race comes to Carnival City
The 30th edition of the ever-popular Carnival City Macsteel National Classic Cycle Race will be held on Sunday, February 23, just two weeks before the 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 distances.
With road safety in mind, rolling road closure will take place from 6am on the day of the event.
On request from Cycling South Africa (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 also CSA sanctioned.
This is a fun day out for the whole family, with 160km for the elites and a 65km route to get the legs kicking.
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 who do not have a chip can purchase one with their entry.
Prizegiving for the licensed cyclists will start at 10.30am, while the main prizegiving will start at 12.30pm.
The lucky draw will take place at the main prizegiving ceremony.
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.
