Well you guys missed out on an amazing event. The track is definitely worth the effort and properly steep!!!!!

#1 Pottie

#2 Minnaar

#3 Tiaan Odendaal

#4 Dirk Lourens

#5 Alasdair Fey

 

Good times thumbup1.gif

 

I did mention to some of the guys that numbers were limited due to the fact that a lot of guys have exams happening. Perhaps a date over a long weekend would be better.

Well he is a fairly talented rider wink.png

The vid just does not do the track justice. The middle switchback section was super-steep!

 

well to put 4sec into Mr Minn, one has to have a skill or 2 up their sleeve!

 

So super_mil, did your time in the alps help you at all with riding SA steepness?

It certainly did although my race run had plenty of errors packed into it, so I didn't put those skills to good use cursing.gif

This is definitely the steepest track I've been on in SA.

haha! yeah, Alpine steepness is a whole other story! But look at the top 3... they've all spent time practicing in the Alps

 

...maybe after next years Alps trip, you'll be up there on the overall top 5 ;)

I think I lack the natural talent to compete with the top 5. Perhaps top 5 sub-vets...

Well hopefully you'll be there next year to compete. Plenty trees for you to off yourself on whistling.gif
