RockCoach Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Does one need a trail bike to do this event, or will a cross country bike be fine? More specifically I'm thinking:- 2010 Cannondale Scalpel 1 (full carbon)- XTR rims Yes, it will be fine. Let's put it this way. The winner over the last few years was on a XC bike. If I'm not mistaken it was a Scapel. I will put it another way. The course is faster on 100mm travel bike but not anywhere near as fun as 140mm.
RockCoach Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Awesome! Thanks SLiiick! Sure thing! You might want to drop your post slightly if you haven't got a dropper post though.
Thug Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 What an awesome event. Highly recommended for those that enjoy trail riding. 3 stages with 2 runs on each stage with the best time for each stage added together to give your overall time. Yesterday morning's stage was in my opinion the best, with Saturday's 2nd stage, the toughest. Well done to Mark Meyer, Jaco Lubbe and Jason Geldenhuys for finishing 1st, 2nd & 3rd. Only 13 seconds separated the first 2 positions. Dirty Sanchez 1
