Last Chance to Enter the World’s Biggest One Day Bicycle Race
Hosted in spectacular Cape Town, the Cape Argus Cycle Tour in South Africa is the world's largest individually timed cycle race. This event is also the first event outside Europe to be included in the ICU's Golden Bike Series.
Is cycling still growing in South Africa? You bet! The world famous 109km event (which has featured greats such as Greg Lemond, Miguel Indurain and last year, Jan Ullrich) has opened its online entry system recently.
If you, like thousands of cyclists, want to improve your time and rankings in the spectacular setting of the Cape Peninsula, visit www.cycletour.co.za to enter now.
Despite a recent Cycling South Africa initiative (which adds unnecessary admin and expense to local cycling) to license all domestic cycling - including fun riders - more than 10 000 people entered online in the first 48 hours.
Entries opened on September 1, and by Saturday 8th September, this event had reached a subscription level of 70%. Thus, by the time you read this entries to the Cape Argus Pick 'n Pay Cycle Tour may have closed.
Organisers have resolved the acceptance of Virgin Credit Cards, and describe the rate of online entries as ‘unprecedented’.
The world’s largest one day timed cycling event takes place in the first quarter of next year, on March 9. Only the first 35 000 paid entrants will be allowed to participate.
