A big step forwards for the current growth and propulsion in ladies cycling!
We are excited to be part of cycling moving forward in the Western Province and will be lining up in full force this coming weekend😁💪 ...
ATT: LADIES CYCLIST
WP Cycling has decided to give all ladies their own race going forward. In other words, ladies will NOT start with Cat 3, but rather on their own.
We do require a minimum of at least 6 ladies to justify such a decision. If less than 6 ladies arrive on the morning, by default ladies will start with Cat 3 like they did in the past.
We encourage all ladies to attend as many events possible. Our last event at Windmeul Primary we had more than 10 ladies start the race - This was indeed very good to see.
So come on ladies - Lets make it happen.

A fantastic weekend of racing for UCT unfortunately comes to an abrupt end with lectures and classes fully underway for the year. However, it is a guarantee that in every students thoughts run the successes of the weekend’s activities.
On Saturday we had a number of our athletes competing in the Fedhealth Exterra Full Triathlon in Grabouw. 🏊🏼♀️🏃🏽♂️🚴🏼♂️ Well done to Mike Ross who finished 10th overall and to Aaron Adler who came 3rd in his age group! A massive congratulations goes out to our first year Hayley Preen , who finished in an impressive 2nd female and 1st South African female overall. 🔥
Sunday saw PPA’s annual Tour de PPA in and around the Durbanville area where we had multiple club and team members participating! Well done to Martin Freyer for your 4th place and to Michael Lambrecht and Nicholas Lambrecht for animating what was for sure an interesting ending to the race.💪
Lastly but not least, comes what was an amazing experience for some select team members who had the amazing opportunity and privilege to race in The Herald Continental Cycle Tour - Road hosted in Port Elizabeth. As a high profile road event, we wanted to target a different race as a learning experience mainly for our female team, which consisted of UCT-record-breaking 6 riders.🔥
The route profile presented what was a competitive and fast race with attacks happening early on during the hilly first half!
In the mens race, Zandi Rohrer , Luke Evans and Matthew How raced strong with Matt staying away with the first and lasting break! Well done to Luke who managed to pull off a 5th U23 overall! 🔥
The ladies had the privilege to race from the get go in their own start category which is always exciting and creates an enjoyable competitive nature to the racing. Climb attacks started and split the group early on with Courteney Webb managing to stay in the break until the sprint finish where she crossed the line splits behind the winner in 6th place overall and 2nd U23 female. Rounding off the U23 podium was our new face Amy Tait! 💪💪
Thank you to everybody involved in getting us to and from this event safely (William Simpson Nissan) and for all the help in making such a memorable experience for our team possible!
A promising start to the teams racing for the year!
