TrackCyclingSA club supports local events
TrackCyclingSA started the track year at the Jeanné Nell track classic that was held at Bellville velodrome. The even took place on Friday 25 February.
What an event celebrating one of SAs most talented sprinters. There was racing for scholars, women, veterans and elites. Local businesses, Intellibus and New Door, sponsored the event. It was definitely one of the top events that the velodrome has seen over recent years.
The program was innovative and racing was positive and fast. Well done to club members Simon Augustyn, Donna Marriott Lowry, Dirk van Zyl, Callie Greeff, Matthew Ferguson and Jaco Scholtz who participated.
TrackCyclingSA club took the top step in the masters competition after Jaco Scholtz won the points race and tempo races.
Dirk van Zyl and Matthew Ferguson both went through to the B-final of the keirin competition.
