Event Name: Funduro MTB Festival @ Grootfontein Bike Park When: 21 November 2020 Where: Grootfontein Bike Park, Gauteng Category: Enduro Welcome dirt friends. FunDuro at Grootfontein is an all inclusive family and friends driven event in a safe and social environment. Both on and off the bike. We’ve designed a program based on fun and connecting with like minded people who have a bike shaped heart and soul. Activities are geared towards learning new skills or improving on existing skills and applying these on purposely set routes. There will be timing and various categories available so you can test your metal too. The venue Grootfontein Bikepark is a multi-disciplined bike park overlooking the surrounding farmlands. Accommodating MTB skills levels from enjoyable leisure to highly skilled technical trails. Built by riders for riders so you can get the best out of your riding. The FunDuro team can’t wait to kuier with you. What is a Funduro? The Funduro is an event for everyone young to old, who loves riding their Mountain bikes, cruising up the hills and racing down. That’s right you are only timed on the “down” section. Boutime will do the time keeping to compete in this event. The race options selected are a combination of flowing. A combination of all fun trials that everyone can ride. Pump track for the kids. One of our major sponsors – Norco will also be there on the day with some demo bikes that you can take for a spin. Is Enduro Only for the Pros? Definitely not! While enduro does require some physical fitness and skill to complete the course, it is one of the most approachable disciplines for an amateur rider. Here are a few reasons why enduro is awesome for all levels of riders: When racing on timed stages, it is just you, your bike and the clock. There isn’t much worry about having to pass or get passed, because you are sent off down the trail at 30 second – 1 minute intervals. If you do get passed (or need to pass someone), it is usually just one person at a time, which is much easier to handle than a whole group of riders in an XC race. Men, women, pro, amateur; everyone rides the same course! So, regardless of your classification, you can compare your times to everyone else. It is totally normal to carry a pack around. In a lot of other racing formats you will be scoffed at for carrying a bag, but in enduro, it is often necessary. If you get a flat or other mechanical, you’re responsible. And, who doesn’t love the opportunity for snacking? Transition stages give you the opportunity to catch your breath, stretch out… and… eat! It is basically a motivated trail ride! Think of enduro as a ride you would normally love to do… just with a bunch of new friends and a little more motivation to push your limits on the descents. The people are amazing. More than any other form of racing, enduro is known for having a friendly atmosphere. Wait for your buddies to finish the timed stage runs and then ride to the top together. And of course, celebrate with new and old friends at the finish line with race talk, good food and a tasty beverage. Instructors Sean Chris Charl van Zyl (Pyga) Louise Kotze What else will be there?

R30 Surcharge on Late Entries IMPORTANT UPDATE Due to continued damage to our temp boards and theft of riders not handing in their race boards back to our timing team. We had to make the difficult decision of implementing a new system where you can buy your very own permanent race number, having to discontinue our loss of temporary boards for on the day. This one you can use time and time again and is assigned to your name, meaning that it is yours and you register for the race online, having no need to collect your number from registration queue, you sign up online and show up at the start line for the race. Your brand new permanent board will cost you R50, alternatively can you rent one of the old raceboards from us for R20. This is in line with other time keeping companies, it will shorten the registration queues for repeated riders, making it more convenient and make the number collection process faster. Route Profiles The routes have been well designed to have a good balance of jeep track (to prevent bunching) and single track (to keep it fun). The profiles are mostly flatish with a small amount of climbing on the longer distances. Route profiles will be available closer to the date. Go to Event Page

i saw on the site that the profiles were published. GPX files on Friday it seems. These guys don't do lap races, it will be like the Mahala Magic. Ingaadi MTB section is going to rock, did you see their post on facebook?

I was a bit late & missed by 60km A batch. When I got to registration there were in the excess of 300-400 race boards still left with most batches gone. Loads of riders pitched on the day and begged for an entry because they didn't make the cut-off so Bouttime just assigned the non-pitchers' raceboards to them(name, surname, cell, id boom!) in order to share in the fun. The trail was one of the best, better than trail seeker, Rosemary stop with brownies WOW, well stocked waterpoints, beer points & coffee points. Instant sms timing with position, time & category which connects to their live website and TV's just behind the arch with live results for each distance. I think they have spent all that money catering for 1500 riders & only ~1100 pitched due to it being free. Sad but what a great race. My registration email says its an SASeeding event.

Event Name: BoutTime WTF Race Sponsored By Navworld When: 3 December 2016 Where: 3ci (Capital City Church International), Gauteng Category: MTB Navworld/WTF MTB Race The BoutTime WTF MTB Challenge presented by Navworld is named after the famous Strava section in Pretoria East called “WTF”. This section is a 1.5km climb with an average gradient of 6.1% and ascents the rider by 95m. This Strava section is used by many mountain bikers to prepare for events like the Cape Epic, Sani2C, Cape Pioneer and has been ridden almost 30,000 times by 2,500 riders!!! Wessel Botha is currently the record holder with a whopping time of 3:52 done in 2016 at an average speed of 23.7km/h and in 2nd place Thinus Redelinghuys with a 4:17 and 21.7km/h.

Most MTB races around Pretoria East takes place on the northern side of the Bronberge so we had the idea of doing things a bit different from 2015 onwards. The route will remain the same as last year until WTF, from there it will become totally different as we are designing a new route with much more Jeep Track, singletrack and will be a bit more challenging.
