Tsela Cycling event cancelled due to low registration

The cycling road race, which was organised by Tsela Riders cycling club, was expected to be a battle between cyclists of different categories, from Under-23, Elites, Juniors, Women, Masters, Veterans and Open section. Speaking to SportMonitor, Tsela Riders chairperson, Charles Vaughan, said the turnout was bad because people had gone for holidays.

However, some cyclists came and they used the day to train along the Otse-Kanye road. “Since the club race was cancelled due to low registration numbers, we decided to still ride the route as training in preparation for the Jwaneng General Manager cycling challenge as we assist those who will be doing Ride Joburg cycling challenge. Besides our Tsela Riders cycling club members, we had other cyclists from other clubs joining us in the ride, it was all fun, nothing competitive,” he said.
