Entries are now open for the annual Winelands Cycle Race on Sunday, 22 January.
It will start and finish at Huguenot Primary in Wellington. The race will be an excellent one to help people gear-up and improve their seeding for the Cape Town Cycle Tour 2023.
There will be two races, with online registration, timing and seeding by RaceTec under the auspices of the Pedal Power Association.
They will start in General Hertzog Boulevard, and from there cyclists can travel on two routes (long or short) in the rural area. The first race, over 102 km, starts at 06:00 (entry fee is R350).
For more experienced riders it is a seeding race for the Cape Town tour. Its route takes riders to Hermon, Riebeek West and Voor Paardeberg (Slent Road) and then back to Wellington on the R44.
Proceeds of the race go to Paarl Rotary projects focusing on early childhood and youth development.
