PROLOGUE

 

Welcome fellow bikers to the start of the racing season.  SACA event organising committee would like to thank everyone for your support last year and we hope we will have an even more successful and exciting season, with more prizes and more races this year.  Targeting in Sep 03, the committee is looking to present to you the long-awaited “Singapore Open”, a 3- day event where we hope to see participation from riders from our neighbouring countries.  However, this race would not be possible without the support from the rest of the cycling community.  So if you can contribute in anyway whether as a race official, sponsor or race organisers, please let us know.  But most importantly come and take part in the race.  

 

To encourage/facilitate riders from men sports category to advance to men open even during mid-season, there will be no overall prizes for this category.  Cash and medals for individual events will still be the norm.

 

Details of the overall prizes will be announced later once we get confirmations from this year’s sponsors.
