19 Jul 2017 Vida Spring league entries are now OPEN
Great news for Cape Town racing cyclists is that entries have opened for the new Vida League which starts in August. The new league series will follow a “Category racing” format and be contested over five road races, a criterium, a hill climb and a time trial.
Off the bike, league riders will be treated to some great specials from Vida, including special offers and discounts. A dedicated leagues photographer will capture all the action.
Category 1 will draw from male cyclists 18 and older with a PPA seeding of A or B. Category 2 will include male cyclists with a seeding of B or C, as well as racing female cyclists 18 and over. Male cyclists with a PPA “D-seeding” will be able to enter Cat 2 should the maximum of 100 riders per category not have been reached. Category 3 will comprise of u/17 male riders as well as junior girls, while Category 4 will be for u/15 and u/13 riders (previously the ‘junior scholars’).
Prize money will be on offer for the top 3 riders in Category 1 and the top 3 female riders in Cat 2, while the top 3 riders in Categories 3 and 4 will win vouchers. Points will be accumulated during the series, with the top 3 riders in each category receiving podium medals and more at the end of the season.
