I can't ride. Can someone else take my entry?

Yes, through the official substitution process:

1. The withdrawing rider logs into their Cape Town Cycle Tour profile and clicks "allow substitution". This releases the entry.
2. The substitute needs a signed letter of consent from the withdrawing rider, including that rider's name and ID number.
3. The substitute pays a substitution fee of R200 per person, by credit card only (no EFT).
4. The substitute collects the race number at the counter for their start group at the Cycle Tour Expo.

Tandems: you can enter your tandem partner at the same time as yourself if there is a cancellation for your partner too. If your partner is already entered, add their details to your consent letter so the two of you are linked as a tandem entry.

Rules (entry terms clause 6.3):

• You may ask the substitute to pay you back, but not more than you originally paid.
• If the correct procedure isn't followed and the substitute is found riding illegally, both of you could be sanctioned.
• You must never give your number or timing board to someone else to use (clause 2.14).
