MTB_Roadie Posted August 16, 2013 Share Not at one track. Many of beautiful places to ride, in Western Cape alone.... The slammer is there, why not use it? To build more proper XC tracks will take to much time and money... Im keen for the XC racing, I noticed PPA is lacking some events this spring so guess this would be ideal! Same as the Polkadraai Crit, awesome route with great road surface and enough parking for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTB_Roadie Posted August 16, 2013 Share Not saying not the slammer. Maybe this is a topic for discussion... Anyone keen to open a/the thread I know what you mean, I meant the slammer is spectator friendly, not to far out. Once there is more proper XC tracks which is more spectator friendly and easy to get to then sure why not. Meezo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, my personal opinion on XC is that it really does help knowing the trail, not necessary the whole lap, but the techinal stuff. I've never ridden the slammer so it would be new to me. Again nothing against it. But in terms of travelling and attraction and spectators. Cant imagine a XC at Tokai or Table Mountain. Having said all that. One cannot simply have their cakes, and eat it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
