This year’s series forms part of the Gauteng Individual Time Trial Series, together with the Gauteng Time Trial Championships held on 18 January at Lindequesdrift. Riders’ best three results from the Albion series, combined with their championship performance, will count towards selection for Gauteng Colours—raising the stakes and drawing some of the province’s top talent.
The individual time trial, often dubbed “the race of truth,” strips away team tactics and drafting. It’s just the rider, their bike, and the ticking clock—a raw test of fitness, focus, and pacing.
Entries for the first event are now open and capped at 120 riders. Don’t miss out—entries close at 16:00 on Friday. You can register here.
Registration takes place from 13:00 to 13:45 at the Circus Coffee Shop in Daleside, with the first rider off at 14:00. Entry costs R60 (cash only).
For those chasing personal bests—or provincial glory—this is the stage to prove yourself.
