A new format is being adopted for the KZN DH & Enduro series, where by both races will be held on Sunday, giving participants the whole of Saturday to familiarize themselves with the stages and the DH track.

some mates and I are going down to Howick for a weekend later this year for a bit of R&R&R ((mental)rest and (mental)relaxation and Riding). Karkloof has been on our bucket list for quite some time, so that'll be our primary riding destination, but can those in know give me a couple suggestions of other routes we can ride. We'll get to ride on the Friday once there, all of of Saturday (probably at Karkloof itself) then a short ride on Sunday to sweat out the beer from a visit to the Nottingham Road Brewery the previous evening,before heading back in the morning. As far as accommodation's concerned, I've looked at Old Halliwell Inn and Rockwood Lodges so far.. both seem nice. fanks
