Event Name: The Sabie Experience 2011 When: 15 December 2011 - 18 December 2011 Where: York Timbers Sports Grounds, Sabie, MPU, Mpumulanga Category: MTB Ten Golden Rules of Stage Racing Always ride with your helmet on and properly fastened. Comply with traffic regulations. Ride on the left-hand side of the road. Stay within sight of your team partner at all times. Carry a first aid kit with you. Carry enough hydration liquid and nutrition for up to 45km of strenuous riding. Carry a cell phone - the emergency number will be printed behind your race number. Have respect for the environment and wildlife. Be cautious when approaching forestry operations and transport vehicles. Be careful to follow the route markers. Marshals are provided to assist with safety. Emergency and Medical Services Marshals will be situated at strategic points along the route to guide riders and assist with safety, especially at crossings or blind intersections. They will be identifiable by their red flags. Traffic officers will be positioned where riders have to cross public roads. They will endeavour to give riders right of way, but riders MUST OBEY THEIR EVERY COMMAND. In the absence of a marshal or traffic officer riders are to comply with all traffic regulations. Route Marking for the Stage Race The Sabie Experience route markers will consist of black arrows on white background, with The Sabie Experience logo positioned BELOW the arrow. If the arrow has been rotated or slipped from position, riders will still be able to determine the correct direction. If no route markers are present, carry straight on. At strategic intersections some roads or tracks may also be taped off with red/white candy tape to prevent riders from taking the wrong road. The correct route may also be confirmed with luminous orange (bio-degradable) spray paint, or luminous orange marker squares attached to grass or vegetation. Neutral Zones Stages 2 to 4 will all have a neutral zone start until out of town for several km or until the lead vehicle pulls off the road or well ahead of the bunch. The speed will be limited to 30km/hr. You are NOT PERMITTED TO PASS THIS VEHICLE IN THE NEUTRAL ZONE WHILE IT HAS A RED FLAG UP. Doing so will lead to immediate disqualification. Use this opportunity to warm up properly, and ensure to keep within sight of your partner. Be sure to keep a safe distance between yourself and the rider in front of you, and be ready to take avoiding action in case of any sudden braking. Try not to do anything unpredictable, keep your line and do not brake suddenly without reason. Stage Finishes All stages start and finish at the York Timbers sports grounds. Riders may ride through town to the stage finish and may ride through intersections and normal traffic. All traffic officials and marshals must be obeyed, and in their absence traffic regulations are to be obeyed. Riding recklessly or at high speed may result in an accident which may cost you a stage finish or the entire race. - do not risk it! Race etiquette is the mark of a top rider. A few seconds can easily be caught up over the next stage. Water and Food Teams are expected to carry sufficient water and nutrition for at least 45km. Stages 2 and 3 will each have 3 water points on the route where energy drinks and water will be available. There is also a water point at the finish. Stage 4 will have two water points. No water point will be provided on Stage 4 except at the finish. In emergencies, riders may safely drink the water from the mountain streams above 1400m above sea level. Start Zones and Seeding The start times for the Prologue will have been predetermined by race officials. Your start time will be communicated via the website at least a week before the race. Your time on the Prologue will determine your batch for the next day. Eight start zones (A – H) of about 50 teams each will be cordoned off each morning. The start is at 07h00. From Stage 2 start zone A will contain at least the top five teams from each of the categories, based on their performance over the previous stage(s). Teams wearing the leader jerseys will have their own start zone in front of A. Other teams will be seeded overall according to their accumulated times and allocated in zones B to H. Teams must determine their start zone each morning from a list displayed at the start at 06h00. The teams then report to the marshal in charge of their allocated zone and he/she will check against the start list. Do NOT try to move up into the start zone in front of you if you have already been allocated and signed in. Teams spotted doing this will be penalized. Sabie Lite Teams will be seeded according to Prologue times and results from the other stages. Riders will be given a start zone as well. Please adhere to the above rules and principles.

Du Toit proclaims "I'll be back"

Van Wyk makes it two in a row at Nissan Half Marathon Series

Attekwas 120KM - David George 05:01:50 Barberton 120KM - Max Knox 05;01:31

So everybody thought Attakwas was the monster of all Ultra marathon races in the country, however, Barberton showed its teeth as well and is said to be harder! What do you think?

Hi everybody, I am happy to inform you that we are fully booked for the Advendurance Misty Valley training camp. It is bound to be a fantastic weekend of bike riding and socializing in the luxury comfort of Misty Valley Lodge. For those of you who were not able to make it this time, we will be organising another training camp at Misty Valley Lodge for the weekend of 21-23 January 2011 (the weekend before Barberton). This training camp will be aimed more towards the hardcore Mountain Bikers and will act as great early season training. More details to follow soon.

You guys must not miss the Nissan Van Gaalens race next month. 13th November. Erik (the owner of Van Gaalens) has built some new single tracks specifically for the race and will be "floating" the floating bridge again! There will be plenty of fun activities for the whole family and some great new sponsors on board! Don't miss this one! www.advendurance.com

That pofadder climb reminded me allot of some of the climbs in the 2007 Epic. TOUGH!!! But the rest of the trails are amazing, especially the river single tracks!

Check this Hub forum. But it was Csharpphotos.co.za and Oakpics.com. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/84506-mtn-ride-crater-cruise/page__st__240__p__1162911__hl__crater+cruise__fromsearch__1#entry1162911

It is totally ridiculous! My parents live in Mozambique (a truly 3rd world country in comparison to SA) and my father was able to secure all 3 of his licences (hunting rifle, shotgun, revolver) within a matter of months. None of this bull about waiting for 2 years+ for them to make their minds up. I applied for a handgun here in SA last year April and am still waiting for some/any sort of confirmation from the licencing department. But i guess things take time in Africa, just got to have some patience.

Like I said... "Hi, a company called PikitUp has been contracted to clean up. Unfortunately the event only ended at about 6pm yesterday and PickitUp does not work on Sundays. But I assure you that they will be hard at work today, transforming the park back to its prestine condition."
