Wendell Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 If only I could....I would get the maps of the trails onto this site. HOWEER, I am sure I can get it onto our WEB site. The sprogs,nippers and sports cat will be doing laps of 2,5km. It may seem short but it is a tester for these little okes. We have taken out some steep and technical sections which will be found in the main trail.The main trail is a 4,5km lap. I feel it is awesome and deffinately going to be a hard ride. I would imagine the elite riders will be doing about 22min per lap so it obviously not an easy ride.We will be doing laps on Saturday 25th from 7am and then again on Saturday the 3rd. The trail will be marked by this Friday so go and have a blast.
NotSoBigBen Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I may even post some profiles of rthe 2 races later if anyone is interested
Wendell Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 thanks Ben, will be there for four tomorrow.
NotSoBigBen Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Thks Ben for your help My pleasure! Hopefully meet you there if I survive this afternoons lap
NotSoBigBen Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 OK some more accurate profiles after my laps today, the short loop is very ridable but for sure not boring! The long on the other hand will need some strong legs as there is some hard climbing but you will be rewarded with amazing views, singletrack and downhills (tricky but not dangerous!)
Natural Defender Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 This looks like inspiation from SA Cup race in Durbanville??????
Wendell Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 This looks like inspiation from SA Cup race in Durbanville??????Hi Natural Defender, nothing in Durbanville could inspire me, this is a piece of land that is natural and not man made and has been under construction since June last year. Come ride it, you MAY like it
Grondpad Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 I am seriously considering getting some buddies together and attempting this XCO thing How many laps will the seniors and the sub-vets be doing? Will I (sub-vet) still be on course by the time the elite men start. If so, wont that be a pain for the elites that has to pass me? How many lap will the sub-vet ladies do? I think my wife will also be keen
