nigelhicks Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 no i dont think it will "sell out" ... Im hoping it will - but there is still not enough exposure and there is still some scheptisism as to the format... a lot of okes still think its a DH race. So i think you will be ok ...
DR ◣◢ Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 nort ... im guessing about 80 odd as Jason said we past the 60 mark last week. - If we can get over 100 i'll be STOKED My entry was just under number 60. Should make for a great even with 80 entrants.
olram_df Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Just entered, looking forward to this, should be a bit easier than the MUD we had to get through at Karkloof, although that was fun in its own way.

I would like to put in some practice on the friday, Is access to the "service road" allowed? would be awesome if I could have a friend shuttle a few of us around for the day so my not so good at climbing legs can rest for race day and get more practice runs in due to saving time on the "un-timed" sections.
nigelhicks Posted June 11, 2013 Author Posted June 11, 2013 Ok so entries have peaked a bit at 70ish riders ... choon your mates if you are coming to ride to come and do the event. @ NoFearnofun - the access road up past the horse place is always open - so by all means you can shuttle up there to the top of gravity (Stage 1) all you want .... the access road up to stage 2 and 4 (Mainline and Shaya Moya) is a bit iffy as there is a MASSIVE rut at the start of the road near the start of the waterfall trail - I will try get Jasons guys to fix this so that we can have access as this will make it easier for guys to go and watch too.... The only issue with shuttling to stage 2 and 4 is that stage 2 crosses the access road - and at speed and its a blind run in for the rider - so this is a bit dangerous - but i'll see what i can come up with.

RED1408 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) Just rode stage 2 and 4 this morning man did I have fun I really need some more practice as I'm as fit aa a dead branch!Did Stage 4 in 6:30ish as I made some really bad line choices which slowed me down (Well that and the lack of fitness ) and Stage 2 in just under 7 mins as I over shot the one turn and had to turn around. It's going to be such a jol and really can't wait! P.s: Just a sorry note to the two guys that were following me on stage 4. I should have told you that there is a sharp turn after the one corner. I hope I did not mess up your flow on the trail Edited June 22, 2013 by RED1408 Nofearnofun 1

DR ◣◢ Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Can't wait. Currently off the bike (again) with broken ribs and some lovely bruising all over. Hopefully I can recover enough to be good and ready to ride on the 13th. RockCoach 1

RED1408 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 The guys that were following you? the one wasn't on a white bike was he? Yeah that is true, from what I can see on the video footage the white bike was a KTM wearing an orange top. You and your mate by any chance? Nofearnofun 1
