Dear Rider,

On behalf of the KZN-MBC I would like to wish you all the best for 2010. We are looking forward to the MTB season ahead, and our Chairman, Donald Paynter, will be sending out a news letter next week.  Of particular importance right now is 2010 licensing and hence the note below.

The 2010 CSA license system is now open at MyRace (www.myrace.co.za) and after a few issues, I believe is now working well.  On behalf of KZN-MBC I would like to appeal to you to support the licensing system and get yourself licensed.

New CSA Licence Regulations for 2010 (www.myrace.co.za)

Major changes from 2009 into 2010:

1.    Removal of the Recreational Licence

2.    Minimum licence requirement for participation in events change from:
2009 – Club Membership or Day Licence
to
2010 – Cyclosport Licence or Day Licence
Riders are still required to join an affiliate or club to obtain a Cyclosport license

3.    The full Racing License is only required for UCI registered events
4.    The JUNIOR LICENSE. Junior riders 18 years and under (born 1992 and onwards) and intending to ride in timed cycling events as per adult regulations must procure a Junior License. The Junior License carries the combined benefit of a Cyclosport and Racing License.

1.    Cost is R35
2.    They would have to comply with UCI-governed restrictions, where applicable per discipline, in gear ratio's in all events – monitored and controlled by the relevant affiliate's officials
3.    This license is administrative in nature to ensure that these riders can enjoy seeding, ranking and racing log privileges.
4.    Junior riders can apply for the Junior License via their club, affiliate or CSA.

5.    Development Licences are removed

1.    All development riders may apply for a Racing or Cyclosport Licence via a recognized development program or affiliated cycling club, at no charge

6.    ALL licenses are multi-disciplinary.

7.    The CYCLOSPORT License is only available to riders who were born in 1991 and before. (19 years of age and older)
All timed cycling events require the participant to carry a license.

To get your CSA License you now have to www.myrace.co.za

Registrations for 2010 Cycling Licenses are open!

Due to a significant overhaul of the CyclingSA licencing structure, licence applications for 2010 will only open on the 24th December 2009. All applications received and approved by the 10th January will have their cards printed and posted during that week.

Your 2009 licence will remain valid until the end of January 2009. 

The New License Structure has the following benefits:
- Simplified approach
- Lower cost of entry
- Free Development Licenses (by application through CSA)
- All License types carry a seeding benefit.

PLEASE NOTE: Seeding will be based on participant history and ability ONLY. Licence type will not carry any seeding advantage.
