DR ◣◢ Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 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
DR ◣◢ Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 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
Beer4Recovery Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) 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
Dirty Sanchez Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 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 do. Just not the market
G00SE Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Congrats on kicking Nino Schurter's ass down the UCI MTB World Cup - Amphitheater segment on stage 5 If it says so on strava, then it must be true.. Nofearnofun and DR ◣◢ 2
DR ◣◢ Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 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
G00SE Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 There are black routes in Gauteng? Allegedly... Trail builders up here have a different mentality to the guys in kzn it seems.
hayleyearth Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 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
Sidewinder. Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 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
beanz Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 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. Now there's a dose of reality I could have done without on a grey gloomy Monday.
Nofearnofun Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 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

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
flyluis Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Now there's a dose of reality I could have done without on a grey gloomy Monday. NOOOOO!!! We must have faith in Van Gaalens!!!
Sidewinder. Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 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 Posted October 28, 2013 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
Nofearnofun Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 We were lucky to have an amature photographer friend with his equipment (S3 mini) in his hydration pack for some fun on stage three Spectator28 showing us that even tho its a Kona its still fun Myself on touch down (rubber side down for a change) Beer4Recovery and Sidewinder. 2
