Stryder Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 It would have been nice if there were a few other prizes at the prize givingI thought the same.
Capricorn Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Loved that stage 2! Tunnel vision of note . Noticed a lot of brown shoulders coming off that stage-and just in case you made it through unscathed, the tag reader was put right next 2 wattle stumps, so that you had to place you wheels right inbetween them, all while trying to brake (offcamber) before smashing into the vineyard and getting your tag to read. Good times! i had someone, who missed his tag, turn around, and park himself and bike in that gap.. i just shouted HEY and gunned into the gap. Was too tired to care
Headshot Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 It was huge fun, but IMO not a patch on the Welvanpas course in terms of steepness and flat out fast sections. No doubt when the trails bed in a bit it will get much better tho. Looking forward to the 2014 series! Capricorn 1

Will just be smashed.
Headshot Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 If you want one try one on first. The fit is a bit different and the "adjustment" is by way of thicker and thinner pads. There's no floating cradle like you get in most AM lids. I tried one and it just didn't work for me. I love mine - I use a combo of the thick and thin pads which means I always have a spare set of clean dry pads. I'd rate it as warmer than an XC lid but thats fine in winter and to be honest I didnt feel unduly warm despite the heat yesterday. It actually also works well as a helmet as the rock dents in the back of mine prove.

The Urge AM looks like it is very well ventilated, but I guess I will wait for the bell super to come out
Dan Dob Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 So when is someone going to organise an Enduro in Eselfontein? It is made for this format!Robert Starke of Contermanskloof says he is keen to host one there sometime just before Winter. Would be great to get 4-5 enduro races in a year to keep us all honest! Capricorn, DJR, whistler and 4 others 7
Headshot Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 That would be a tough event - hot, dusty and big climbs between stages, but such good fun. Jonkers is also crying out for a race like this. Dan Dob, Hairy, Capricorn and 1 other 4

Personally, I think Eselfontein comes the closest to what I think a Cape mtb trail should be! Using it for an enduro is a brilliant idea! Edited November 26, 2013 by DJR
