SUMMARY:Joburg Classic
DESCRIPTION:The Joburg Classic constitutes a brand-new signature mass participation road cycling race for Gauteng and takes place on 29 March 2020. \nProceeds from the event go to the Hectic Promotions charities as well as CANSA . \nThe venue for the event is the impressive GOG Lifestyle Park just off Malibongwe Drive in Lanseria and the route offers distances over 95km\, 45km and 20km. \nThe venue is perfectly central for riders from both Joburg and Pretoria. It sits on the corner of the first intersection towards Honeydew from the Malibongwe off-ramp off the N14 Krugersdorp Freeway. \nHectic Promotions boasts a proven record of accomplishment in presenting mass participation cycling events which fulfil the requirements of our sponsors and stakeholders. \nWe are recognised by Cycling South Africa and the cycling public as one of South Africa’s foremost cycling event organisation companies and we boast a history of presenting prestigious events on the national cycling calendar. \nWe will work tirelessly to implement the successful blueprint of the Tshwane Classic on its counterpart to create a safe cycling environment and consequently vest the Joburg Classic as a signature mass participation event on the South African sporting landscape. \nThe race will be bolstered in various ways with our logistical experience and it will attract the country’s top professionals. Through our extensive marketing campaign\, we hope that the event will attract a significant participation base and grow to in excess of 12 000 riders within three years. \nTHE VENUE \nThe event venue at the GOG Lifestyle Park in Lanseria presents ample parking\, ablutions and catering facilities to accommodate a mass participation cycling event. \nALL RIDERS AND THEIR FAMILIES RECEIVE FREE ENTRANCE INTO THE PARK FOR THE DAY! \nGOG Lifestyle Park boasts a wide array of activities which will keep families entertained throughout the day. For more info on the venue go to https://gog.co.za/lifestyle-parks/ \nTHE DATE \nThe date of 29 March 2020 falls within a delightful sunny time of the year two weeks following the Cape Town Cycle Tour. This ensures that Gauteng based riders who take part in the Cape Town Cycle Tour can also take part in the Joburg Classic. \nDISTANCES TO CATER FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY \nThe allure of the Joburg Classic is locked into the wonderful road conditions on a beautiful route\, a brilliant family orientated venue as well as the venue’s vicinity to the major cycling catchment area represented by both Johannesburg and Pretoria. \nThe race presents a feature 95km distance while 45km and 20km distances are also presented to make the event as inclusive as possible. We also have a kids’ event for pre-school and primary school children to complete the picture. \nWONDERFUL SUPPORT FROM JOBURG METRO POLICE AS WELL AS MOGALE CITY \nWith all local government structures in Tshwane supporting the establishment of the Tshwane Classic and Diamond Classic\, we have a keen understanding of how the extent of city servives’ support directly impact on the remarkable success of these events. \nSimilar support from the Johannesburg Metro and Mogale City to create a safe cycling environment will enable the success of the race. \nWe look forward to establishing this wonderful bike race\, which will add immense value to the Joburg Metro and its residents \nROUTE DESCRIPTION – A SPECTACULAR ROUTE!\n \nThe Joburg Classic signature 95km distance offers a well-balanced route with 1100 metres of vertical ascent. It’s challenging and interesting throughout and the climb back to Malibongwe on the Elandsdrift Road presents the major obstacle before the finish. \nThe route has been designed to offer two shorter distances as well over 45km and 20km and the starting times for these distances have been worked out nicely so that the short distance riders join after the fast groups in the 95km at the joining points. \nRiders will be familiar with some sections of the 95km route\, which also form part of the Berge en Dale race\, but the Joburg Classic doesn’t include the Hillsnacks or Sterkfontein climbs and it cuts out the dangerous Brandvlei Road. \nThe route goes into the Cradle via Malibongwe and a left turn onto Elandsdrift Road. It turns left into Beyers Naude and almost immediately right into the R374 which runs past the prestigious Avianto Lodge. \nAt the Rhino and Lion Park Traffic Circle the route takes the first exit and then turns right at the Kromdraai cash store. It links up with the Hekpoort road and does a clockwise loop past Maropeng\, returning via the Magaliesberg Road. \nRiders get back onto the Hekpoort Road\, but just briefly before linking up with Hendrik Potgieter extension (N14) at the Engen garage and then a left turn at Letamo Estate to meet up with the in-bound route at the Kromdraai Cash store. \nIt then uses the same route on which the race started in the morning to get back to the venue\, but in the opposite direction. \nThe 20km route starts on Malibongwe Drive and turns left towards the Cradle after the Lanseria Airport turn-off\, and left again at the traffic circle before the Cradle Restaurant to join the 95km route on the way back at Valverde. \nThe 45km route follows the same routing as the 20km ride\, but turns back at the Rhino and Lion Park Circle where it joins the 95km route on the way back. \nClick here to enter

This event caters for the whole family and we strive to make the day as fun as possible; offering Food Stalls & Potjiekos with Music and a Cash Bar. \nWinners of the 60km MTB can win their weight in wine\, and the route\, often used by the Cape Epic\, takes participants over rugged mountains\, through green vineyards and crossing rivers. \nThe 30km MTB is known as the toughest on the PPA calendar in its category\, so novice riders should rather stick to the 18km. \nA 5km fun ride is available for young\, enthusiastic and future riders.\n\nStarting times and cost:  \n60km | 07:30 R 230 \n30km | 08:00 R 200 \n18km | 08:30 R 150 \n5km | 09:00 R 60 \nThe FINE Breede MTB’s main goal is to raise funds for our local Primary School. Breërivier Primary School has approximately 60 learners between Grade 1 and Grade 7. As most schools they are dependent on fundraising to continue the very high standard of teaching offered to learners\, and the Fine Breede MTB is one of only 2 major fundraising events they have. Teachers and parents make up 95% of the work force at the event\, responsible for layout and marking of route\, registration\, marshalling\, manning the food stalls and water points. We rely greatly on the support of our sponsors and entries. Thanks to your continuous support\, we are able to host such a high quality event and raise funds at the same time.

SUMMARY:East Rand Classic MTB Race [CANCELLED]
DESCRIPTION:The East Rand Classic MTB Race kicks off at 08h00 on Saturday and consists of a 25km track which riders complete either once or twice. Click here to view the Route Profile & Map \nRiders will once again get to experience the excitement of riding in the shadow of the aircraft on the grounds of OR Tambo International Airport. \nIt’s urban mountain biking at its best and it’s so close and easily accessible for riders from all over Gauteng. \nThere is just one technical drop-off on the 25km track where riders have the option to either take the dive or use the chicken run on the side. \nThe track is essentially made up of three sections. The first bit is through a forest\, then round the dam and suburbs\, and finally a seven-kilometre flat section right next to the runway – all interlinked by pavement rides. \nThe tree section is absolute bliss. It consists of 6km of winding forest with more than enough room to overtake and slightly downhill – so it’s nice and fast!

SUMMARY:Cullinan2Tonteldoos [POSTPONED]
DESCRIPTION:Considering the COVID-19 pandemic and following the stringent requirements enforced by government banning mass gatherings over 100 participants\, Advendurance regrets to announce the postponement of the Cullinan to Tonteldoos Mtb Ultra. The ban spans 30 days starting 18 March and as such this event falls within this period. \nThe new date will be announced in this week and entries will automatically be transferred to the new date. Due to the costs already incurred for this event and in accordance with Advendurance’s refund policy\, refunds can unfortunately not be made\, but substitutions will also be available. \nThis turn of events is completely unforeseen\, unfortunate\, highly annoying and beyond our control and Advendurance appreciates everyone’s patience and understanding in this matter. \n\nThe Cullinan to Tonteldoos MTB Ultra Single Stage event will take riders and their support crews over 260km of unmarked district roads. The journey starts from Cullinan in Gauteng to Tonteldoos\, a small settlement in the Mpumalanga Highlands. This race takes your through unspoilt scenery from the old-mine village on an open gravel road that will both challenge you mentally and physically. This race is especially exceptional because it takes you from the afternoon straight through to the next day. The  race village at the finish has a beautiful setting in the Highlands where participants and supporters can truly relax after the challenge and long day spent on your saddle. \nDate: 17 & 18 April 2020\nDistance: 255km\nStart: Cullinan\nFinish: Dunkeld Country & Equestrian Estate\, Dullstroom.\nElevation gain: 3200m ascent over the total distance\nRace cut-off: 24 hours \nClick here to enter

SUMMARY:Cycle Lab Maluti Double90 [POSTPONED]
DESCRIPTION:In the light of the current COVID-19 pandemic and the ban on gatherings over 100 people enforced by government\, the 2020 Cycle Lab Maluti Double 90 powered by Biogen will be postponed until further notice. We are not going to cancel the event but adopt the mindset of waiting until we are able to put the event on. This means that all current entries remain active until a new date can be confirmed.  Due to the cost of the event\, no refunds will be given to teams who decide to cancel their entry but we hope that no-one will need to cancel their entry.  If a team cannot make the event on the new date then they have the option of doing a substitution at no cost or\, if not able to find a substitute team\, unfortunately their entry will be forfeited.  We pledge to give at least 2 months warning as to when a new date will be promulgated.  Right now we have no guidance on a new date as we must wait until the various gathering restrictions have been relaxed. We do understand the frustration for everyone with the pandemic unfolding but we ask for patience as we do our best to find a suitable alternative date\, which will depend on availability on calendars\, venues etc.  We ensure riders that we are doing our best to honour the event and the entries the best we can. Yours in cycling \n\nThe Maluti Double90 is a team time trial over 180 km. The event takes place on Saturday 18 April 2020 and is limited to 120 teams. Teams can enter up to 12 riders per team\, with the time of the 6th rider across the finish line being taken as the official team time. \nTeams can enter one of three categories: \n\nFemale\nMixed (minimum of 3 riders of the opposite sex in the first 6 finishers)\nOpen (any combination of gender)\n\nEarly bird entries open on Tuesday 9 July for a limited time period.  Please click on the ENTER NOW tab on the homepage for more information about the early bird entries. \nThe start and finish will be at the President Square\, Clarens. The route will take teams from Clarens to Bethlehem to follow the R26 before turning right onto the undulating R714 towards Warden and Eenzaamheid. Thereafter it’s a right turn onto the R57 towards Kestell before the last stretch on the R712 which includes a tough hilly section through the Golden Gate national park. The route is generally undulating\, with some steep and tough hills in the last 40 km. This is not a ride for beginners. \n\nStart time: 06h30\nCut-off at the finish line: 16h30\n\nTeams will start with 30 second intervals and have up to 9 hours in which to complete the event. A cut-off will be implemented at the Supporter Zone in Kestell (107 km). Additional cut-offs may also be implemented en route. Your team’s time will ‘keep ticking’ while they refuel at the Supporter Zone and there will be no “time-out” period. \nTeams will be seeded prior to the event\, with the start times published on the website prior to the event. \nIt is not an easy ride and teams are encouraged to put in the training miles\, taking into consideration the average altitude of roughly 1900m and elevation gain of over 2200m for the event. \nIn line with all events organised and overseen by the PPA\, the Maluti Double90 will fully comply with all relevant local and national legislation.

SUMMARY:Husqvarna Classic Mid-Illovo MTB Challenge & Trail Run [STATUS TBC]
DESCRIPTION:We wish to announce that in light of the current situation regarding Covid19\, we are working on alternative plans with ROAG regarding the Husqvarna Classic. The health and safety of our staff and our participants is of the utmost importance. Keep up the training and we’ll keep you posted with all developments in this regard. \n\nThe Husqvarna Classic Mid-Illovo MTB Challenge & Trail Run has entrenched itself as a firm favourite on the mountain biking and trail running calendar with this year’s event scheduled to take place on Sunday\, 19 April 2020. The MTB route boasts what some riders have called “the best single track of any single day event”\, traversing a picturesque game reserve – the Gwahumbe Game & Spa. \nWe have been working hard to make some awesome revamps to the existing routes. Over the years\, the 40km MTB Trail had become 46km and some of the return climbs were tough for the riders.  You’ll be glad to know that we got rid of some of the smaller ascents on the return route and have reduced the distance. We have kept most of the single track\, so it will certainly be a more enjoyable ride. The trail runs will have new routes starting at Gwahumbe and dropping down into the valley which should make for some fun\, fast running in spectacular scenery. \nThis year\, E-bikes are welcome to participate in the Husqvarna Classic. E-Bike riders will be required to start in the last batch of each event and will not be timed\, but are welcome to come and enjoy this annual event.

SUMMARY:joBerg2c [POSTPONED]
DESCRIPTION:Due to the ongoing global Covid-19 (Coronavirus) crisis and in light of president Cyril Ramaphosa’s declaration of South Africa’s ‘national state of disaster’ on Sunday evening\, joberg2c will unfortunately not go ahead on the event’s scheduled dates. Our nine-day\, 900km ride was to have taken place this April\, running into May (24 April – 2 May 2020). \nOur organising team is committed to doing what is best and fair for all involved in the 2020 event and are currently working on a solution. \n\njoberg2c is a 900km\, 9 day\, 110% mountain bike adventure across four provinces of South Africa. It is 99.5% off-road\, passing through 220 private farms with more than 280km of single track trails. \nStarting 85km south of Johannesburg and finishing at Umdoni Park Golf Club\, Pennington on the south coast of Kwa-Zulu Natal\, it is a tough rewarding journey that uplifts the soul. For some it is a race for most it is ride. \nIf you are fit enough to enjoy joberg2c\, it could just be one of the best ways to experience a large part of South Africa and the incredible hospitality of local communities. Ride the Beloved Country. \nNow in its eleventh year of existence\, joberg2c attracts a loyal following of local and international riders. \nThe 2020 event is sold out\, but sign up for the waiting list here

SUMMARY:aQuellé Tour Durban (Road & MTB) [POSTPONED]
DESCRIPTION:The organisers of the aQuellé Tour Durban cycle race have taken the decision to postpone the 2020 edition of the Durban classic to a date later in the year\, following the national government state of disaster announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa last night in response to the coronavirus pandemic. \n“We are working with the relevant role players in a bid to locating a suitable weekend in spring that can host the two days of events as planned. We will do all in our power to ensure that the event\, which clearly has a very large following\, can go ahead\, and at the same time to retain the benefit to The Domino Foundation that is the beneficiary of the race. \n\nThe road races will take place on the 26th April 2020\, once again coinciding with the Freedom Day long weekend\, and will include a new 115km elite classic\, and a new 90km race to go with the popular 45km ride on the M4 on full road closure. \nThe cyclocross event has been replaced with two new MTB races to be held on Saturday 25 April\, starting and finishing at the Cornubia Mall. \nAnother new addition to the programme on Saturday 25 April is a race for the athletes from districts each training centre run by the KwaZulu-Natal Cycling Development programme. \nSaturday will also see a new junior race and a kids trike race at Cornubia Mall for the younger riders keen to get in on the action of the weekend of cycling events. \nThe revised program is aimed at offering an expanded choice of rides for cyclists that have supported this popular event in the past. \nNew event director Alec Lenferna says the 115km route is aimed at providing a challenge for the elite men’s field that always supports the Durban classic as well as the fitter cyclists. \nHe added that the route\, designed in close conjunction with the city’s traffic management team\, would take riders into a new section of the city. \n“It is essentially a reverse of the old 100km route\,” he said. “From the race headquarters at Moses Mabhida Stadium it heads north up the M4 past Mdloti and turning at the Watson Highway circle before heading back towards Durban. \n“Then we turn onto Riverside Road and then along North Coast Road and onto Queen Nandi Drive and cross the Mgeni River on the new Super Highway into Pinetown before descending on the M7 and returning to the finish on the South Coast freeway\,” he explained. \nThe new 90km race would create a new option for riders who had comfortably finished the 45km race in the past and are looking for a new challenge. Both the 45km and 90km races will use the popular M4 lap from Moses Mabhida to Mdloti and back. This is also the route that will accommodate the various racing women’s groups. \nThe race remains steadfastly geared towards raising money for the Domino Foundation\, that runs a variety of programmes aimed at supporting\, uplifting and empowering the Amaoti community north of the city. \n“That is what makes this race special\,” said Lenferna. “It is a chance for Durbanites to join cyclists from around the country to enjoy riding the roads under full road closure\, on a long weekend\, and in the reliably good Autumn weather\, the whole time knowing that they are making a massive difference to the lives of the people supported by the Domino Foundation.” \nTo enter the road races\, click here:\nhttp://www.cycleevents.co.za/road-events/aquelle-tour-durban-2020/ \nTo enter the MTB races\, click here:\nhttp://www.cycleevents.co.za/mtb-events/aquelle-tour-durban-mtb-challenge-2020/

SUMMARY:Swartberg100 ​Gravel Fondo [POSTPONED]
DESCRIPTION:To read the full statement about the postponement\, click here \n\nThe Swartberg100 Gran Fondo starts and ends in Prince Albert\, arguably one of the most attractive Karoo towns in South Africa\, it covers 170 km of which there are 3 gravel sectors covering 79 km. The final climb is over the gravel Swartberg Pass\, a relentless climb of 28 km\, the last 9.8 km being on gravel with gradients of 16% in places. \nThe Swartberg100\, in true South African tradition\, will be one of the toughest Gran Fondo’s in the world. We have created a course that goes back to the days of old when mountain passes were all gravel and brave cyclists climbed them on single speed bikes weighing in at 16 kg. A course that allows us to pit our modern training knowledge and technology against an old foe\, a road surface that isn’t always friendly.​ \nChoose your weapon carefully for this race\, too much rubber could slow you down\, too little could make the gravel sectors a lot tougher. Watch those gears\, not enough top end and you’ll spin out on the flats\, not enough bottom end and you’ll be walking up those 16% inclines. – Bike choice is key… \nThe Gran Fondo\n– 170 kilometres\, 3000 metres of ascent\, 79 kilometres of gravel in 3 Sectors.\n​- The last 2 km to the Swartberg summit is at an average gradient of 12%\n– The summit is at the 150km mark\, from there it’s a nail-biting 20km descent into Prince Albert\n– The start gun goes at 7am (Sunrise)\n– Cut off at the end is at 5pm\n– If you don’t make water-point 3 by 2:10 pm the sweep bus will take you home.\n​- Finishing this race is an achievement. \nThe Medio Fondo\nExact Measurements:\n– ​53.75km and 389 metres of ascent.\n​- A flat fast route an average rider will easily complete in 2.5 hours. \nThe Staffetta\nStaffetta is Italian for “relay race”\, we thought we would keep to the Italian theme\, after all it was the Italians who came up with the idea of a Gran Fondo\, a fun race\, a great challenge for all riders\, professional to amateur to enjoy together\, back in 1970 in the small town of Cesenatico\, home of Marco Pantani.\n\nThe e-Fondo\nSwartberg Pass provides a great challenge for e-bike riders\, spectacular climbing over 65km on a morning outing on your e-bike. You can race it\, but you will need to conserve battery power and plan your tactics well. Or … you can just ride it and enjoy the scenery in a safe environment with medics\, marshalls and water points to help you on your way. \n65km and 1900m of climbing
