on the "old Enduro" Trail ... its an OLD trail that used to be an up from Jethros that now is run as a down ... it starts on the access road next to the start of Mainline and drops down next to the access road through a heavily wooded section ...

 

hahaha so we are having new mesh put on all the bridges in that section this week

How were the signs on the weekend???? Did they help anyone who went and rode? @Red ... nice to meet you on the weekend dude

 

Yeah Nigel, those signs helped me big time. :thumbup: Did not get lost at all. I rode stage 1,2 and 4. wanted to ride stage 3 but I think that it was still an up trail on Saturday.

 

Nice meeting you as well dude, can't wait for race day!!

Slipped off the big rock on the OLD enduro Trail straight into a tree

Funny thing is that there is no damage to my glove.

 

Think I just have soft fingers then.... :whistling:

Yeah I may have laughed a bit too much when I checked that picture :ph34r: Been there and almost done that, lucky I have pretty quick feet so managed somehow to maintain control.

 

That bridge is out for blood....

 

(Or a new Troll)

Sooo.... Any more vids that can be posted? :whistling:

 

How is the timing going to be done Mr. Hicks?

 

No videos - sorry i didnt get a chance to film stage 4 (Shaya Moya)

 

As for the Timing ....

 

The AMA Rider self tagging system will be used for the Giba Gravity Enduro and beyond

Awesome!

 

Any luck with that shuttle route for practice next Friday?

Posted

the shuttle route to stage 1 and 3 is open - shuttle to stage 2 and 4 is closed as the road crosses stage 2 ...

 

Remember - Stage 1 is Gravity, Stage 2 is Mainline, Stage 3 is Nick Up Trail, and Stage 4 is Shaya Moya.

 

I have marked the stages ... but will get the guys to arrow the access for the stages with numbering on the boards so that okes know where to go.

Does the trail cross the road near the top middle or bottom? (holding thumbs for middle or top) maybe we can shuttle to a point before the trails cross the road if its far enough up to make it worth while?

 

That should be me and my questions done :whistling:

Quite close to the end unfortunately - but its honestly not a long ride up the access road to the start of Stage 2 ... Stage 4 is a bit of a ride - but you cant access the start by car anyway - so you have to ride ... its only 1 and 3 that you can access by car almost to the stage start
