The Herald Cycle Tour - 2021 Event Cancelled
To all our Herald Cycle Tour Riders,
We hope that you are all keeping well and safe.
Following the President’s announcement on Tuesday, 15 June, we are once again impelled into a space where planning for a mass participation event under current level 3 restrictions pose a challenge – even more so that the duration thereof is indefinite. The everchanging shift in outdoor capacity permissions has caused such a major deterrent in allowing us to go ahead with The Herald Cycle Tour MTB Race, which we were hoping to host this year.
With that being said, we have made the decision (and not an easy one) to cancel 2021’s Herald Cycle Tour MTB race and will spend the remainder of this year planning for 2022’s Cycle Tour event – for both the MTB and Road racing disciplines.
Yes, one cannot say that we will or will not find ourselves in the same confined situation, however the next few months will allow us more time to intensively plan every possible scenario for next year’s event.
As a team, we will always strive to stage an event that will provide riders and their families a memorable cycling experience (we don’t believe in sub-standard!), and we’re grateful that the next few months will allow us the time to plan and create a cycling space that everyone can enjoy.
Dates have been set for 2022. Please diarise the below confirmed dates. Entries will open later this year 2021.
2022 dates:
MTB Race: Sunday, 13 February 2022, Addo Polo Club
Road Race: Sunday, 20 February 2022, Pollok Beach, Summerstrand
Rider entries that have been paid for in 2021 will be transferred over to 2022 at no additional cost. If you have any queries, please feel free to contact us on: heraldcycletour@arena.africa
Thank you all for understanding this very difficult situation we find ourselves in. We will definitely see you at the start line next year in February!
Kind Regards,
The Herald Cycle Tour Team.
