If anyone happens to be in George on the Sunday afternoon of the long weekend, 11th of August... we're doing timed chainless DH runs for fun. More info on the Entry Ninja page. https://www.entryninja.com/events/80856-hillbillies-chainless

Here's last years route. Lite category was stages 1, 2 & 5. https://www.trailforks.com/route/witfontein-enduro-2023-full-category/ This year's route will only be announced at the beginning of September, but will be 90% the same.

...

Yeah 💪 I see you guys have entered the Full E-bike category. Brave. Because it is a national, that category requires an annual CSA membership, and NOT a day license. You can't purchase an annual membership through Entry Ninja. You have to do it through https://www.cyclingsa.com/membership/. Which means you also need to be part of a club, and the club has to approve your membership. It's a schlep, I know. Drop me a mail if you want to change anything on your entry.

The route isn't set in stone. There's a small chance there will be half a new stage. Definitely a B-line coming for the steepest of Rock 'n Roll. Other minor tweaks.

Some okes were feeling a bit sorry for themselves in the light drizzle during their first stage. What's Witfontein without some damp rocks and slippy roots. Nonetheless, the clouds cleared an hour in and it was an absolute pearler of a day. You missed out bru. Don't do that again next year 😂

Stage 1 - Course Preview Stuka, Alaska, R&B, Supertubes 2.8km distance - 230m descent Incl. in both Full & Lite categories https://www.instagram.com/p/CvOrPAws2wa/

A little pre-race scoop on what to expect: https://bikenetwork.co.za/preview-witfontein-enduro/

Alright, it's official...THE RACE IS BACK ON! I sincerely apologize for the back & forth. The land use permit is now in-hand. Find the entry link via https://wcenduro.co.za/ Full Race - 6 Stages (32km & 1200m climbing) Lite Race - 3 Stages (23km & 750m climbing) I'll share Trailforks routes when the course previews are ready, in a week or so.

CANCELLED I'm sad to inform you that the race is cancelled. After 3 months of fighting, Forestry has finally made it clear that I won't get a permit this year. I can't risk the liability of not having CSA sanctioning and the insurance that comes with it. I will hopefully be able to get a permit to move the race nice and early next year.

Damn, I thought I had put a password on this...oops. Now that the cat is out of the bag, here's what's to expect: Stage 1 was not in the race last year. This is the longest with the most peddling. Stage 4 will be a little bit shorter (omit Chigger trail at the bottom) Stage 5 will be a bit longer than (new start all the way up at the railway tracks) Stage 2,3 & 6 are the same as last year. Total distance is 6km further, with 250m more climbing. As @Meezo correctly established, Lite category will be stages 1, 2 & 5. Course previews via Bike Network, once all the wind damage has been cleared, for the third time this year.
