Hi everyone!

Does anybody have spare kit that they're not using on the day, well just a helmet.

I'm looking to try out dh. So I'm going to the race and hopefully going to use the 'village' bike.

Thanks

 

JOH! Dont think you have picked the easiest trail to "just try it out".

Is there entry fees for spectators?

 

We will have to see how many new local World Champions are going to take part.........the more celebrities the higher the viewing price

 

just joking.....It will cost you nothing to come and look

Just read that this race is being postponed?

RACE POSTPONED

 

Just received this from Dave Hogan

 

"Hey Guys

 

Unfortunately to my regret i have some dissapointing news, due to some admin and miscommunication our race this weekend will have to be postponed until a furhter date. We have been trying everything to sort it out, but unfortunately our budget does not allow for this race to happen for us as we cant just rock up and race we need ambulances and medics.

 

We are meeting with Wendell next tuesday to find a compromise and will announce a date after that.

 

Me and ryan proposed a race calnder in the beggining of the year and said one day timed runs for fun, with no official sponsors, and with that lack of funding we dont have the budget to pay for a ambulance and medics for a day and still pay Thaba trails entry per rider and fuel etc. We are trying to organise that a unnofficial event be organised now where we will just do timed runs but will not be classified as a event.

 

Sorry About the late notice guys hope you guys understand where we are coming from

 

David and Ryan"
