DR ◣◢ Posted October 28, 2013 Share What an awesome weekend of riding. Totally agree, the trails in kzn are insane, the Karkloof green routes are more challenging than a lot of the black routes up here in gauteng. Congrats on kicking Nino Schurter's ass down the UCI MTB World Cup - Amphitheater segment on stage 5 Nofearnofun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted October 28, 2013 Share There are black routes in Gauteng? It's what the majority of riders here call anything that isn't double wide dirt roads. Beer4Recovery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer4Recovery Posted October 28, 2013 Share I think I will need to come to terms with the fact that in Gauteng we don't have the terrain for awesome mountain bike enduro-style riding. Edited October 28, 2013 by Beer4Recovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR ◣◢ Posted October 28, 2013 Share We do. Just not the market It is a lack of marketing. All that is needed is one really good race and people will be hooked. That I can guarantee you. Beer4Recovery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G00SE Posted October 28, 2013 Share There are black routes in Gauteng? Allegedly... Trail builders up here have a different mentality to the guys in kzn it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayleyearth Posted October 28, 2013 Share We were lucky to have open skies on Saturday and Sunday during the riding times... Most of the girls chit-chatting before the ride... Most of the riders.... The finish line for 2 stages... DR ◣◢ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidewinder. Posted October 28, 2013 Share I think I will need to come to terms with the fact that in Gauteng we don't have the terrain for awesome mountain bike enduro-style riding. We really don't have any terrain that could compare Congrats to Mark Sydney and crew, awesome event, EPIC trails and great atmosphere, I'll definitely be at the next one! Better route taping wouldn't hurt Beer4Recovery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nofearnofun Posted October 28, 2013 Share I found my france in Karkloof and Cascades, I will never be able to look at Thaba, 139 and HK as DH track again! they are more like "green" KZN enduro trails Beer4Recovery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better route taping wouldn't hurt eish...I thinks they must rather put all their energy in a proper timing system...A race can't have awesome prizes if they dont know who to allocate them to.

Eish It was a new system, new series-there's gonna be a few bugs. But you cant race if you're on the wrong trail....Seriously though, how awesome were the those trails!

DR ◣◢ Posted October 28, 2013 Share NOOOOO!!! We must have faith in Van Gaalens!!! VG is the right venue for it. Unfortunately most "trail builders" up here can't get good flow out of a high pressure hose let alone a trail. Beer4Recovery and flyluis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
