Cycling KZN is very disturbed that the number of road races for 2011 has drastically decreased. This is because sponsors are not willing to sponsor events that are not supported by the very same people that complain that there are not enough races in the Province (The Cyclists).
Cycling KZN plans to add 11 x low budget races to our calendar for 2011 on condition that we get the commitment from our cyclists that they will support these events.
