VENUE LAYOUT:
The term “ladies first” takes on an even more special meaning later this month when the first KZN Cycling event is staged at the Shongweni Club on Sunday 27th September 2020, this being the KZN MTB Spring Queens Classic. This mountain bike marathon event will be limited to entry by ladies only – young and old, competitive or simply those that like to ride their bikes – and has an entry limit of only 250 ladies. This will be the first event staged in the province since the Covid – 19 pandemic forced all cycling events to be curtailed since mid – March, and although there have been a number of virtual type races and events staged these past few months, this is the first opportunity for riders to physically get out there and race against their compatriots, or simply be part of the process.
Due to its non – contact nature, cycling is one of the few sporting codes given a dispensation to be able to start staging events and activities again from the beginning of September, and organisers are excited to start seeing riders being able to take part in competition again, albeit with some agreed to parameters. Strict guidelines have been agreed to with the relevant government departments, and competitors will need to adhere to some new elements at events for the foreseeable future, for their safety as well as for all others involved.
The Spring Queens Classic will see two distance being offered to the entrants, a 20km and a 30km route in the area around the Shongweni Club near Hillcrest with the brief given to the course builders to ensure that the routes are challenging enough for those that are going to go out hard and fast, but also rideable by all. The entry fee for the event is R120 and entries are now open. Entries for the event close on 23rd September and it is important to note that due to the Covid – 19 parameters, no late entries for the event will be accepted.
