Dear Cyclist

RENEWALS FOR 2009

(docs on DMBC website:)

http://www.dmbc.org.za/documents.html

Renewals via your Club are now open for the year to 31/12/2009.

DMBC SUBS ND MEMBERSHIP HAS TO BE UP TO DATE FOR 2009

Any rider who has not renewed by 31/12/2008 will be removed from the data base, and that will allow new applicants the opportunity to ride in the cane.

Existing licence holders do not require a photo. The application form needs to be completed again, as many details change throughout the year. The Indemnity which you have already signed will remain in force.

PLEASE, we cannot reiterate enough- ensure strict compliance with the rules. We need a “Big Brother” attitude out there. If you see ANY rider infringing the rules, take his/her number, take a photo, and report it to Margie, so further action can be taken. Only by ensuring that the riders adhere to the rules can we ensure that the privilege will continue.

The rules are clearly laid out and everyone who joins signs that they agree to abide by the rules,

The most blatant infringements are times and routes:

TIMES

“Marked routes may never be used before sunrise or after sunset, and may (unless specified otherwise) only be used from :

1 May to 31 August

Mon to Fri 15:30 to 17:00 (Not 15:15!!!)

Sat Sun 06:30 to 17:00

01 September to 30 April

Mon- Fri 15h30 to 18h00

Sat Sun 05h00 to 18h00

ROUTES

The routes as specified on the EMBA map are the only permissible routes.

We are in the process of marking the routes and this will be finalised by 01/12/2008

A new map will be issued within two weeks. This will clearly show the routes. It will be available on the website and a copy will be emailed to all on the date base.

kind regards

Friday, November 7th, 2008
Due to a lack of uptake in entries in the 3-stage event which forms part of the Expedition, it has left the organisers no choice but to cancel the 3-stage event. The single day events on Sunday, however, are going ahead as planned. This means that on Saturday, Giba’s trails will be 100% open and it will be business as usual.

Sunday morning will still see the start happening at Giba, but the riders will all be out the park by 8:00 so that it can be business as usual for the Sunday too.

All riders who entered the 3-day Expedition are being reimbursed and they still receive the merchandise as advertised for their entry and they can ride the last day events free of charge. Please direct all questions to wynand@cyclingnews.co.za
