nigelhicks Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 To all riders thinking of coming to the Provincial Event this weekend - here are the directions.You can enter on ROAG's website.Schedule - Saturday - XCO and Enduro - plus Unofficial Practice for DH (no shuttles provided - sort yourself out) Sunday - DHI - Official practice in the morning with racing in the Afternoon (Shuttles provided all day)Unfortunately i do not have a map of the XC or Enduro but have put up a map of the DHI Access is shown in YELLOW on the image 29°45'21.96"S 30°38'21.91"EDirections.Take the Hammarsdale offramp off the N3. Turn left (coming from Durban) or right (coming from PMB) and travel up the 385 Main Road towards Hammardale town. Take the FIRST road to the right (after 1.4km) at the sign D657. After 50m turn RIGHT at the big Gumtrees into Edwards Drive on dirt. Follow this road up the hill into the Sugar Cane of Hill and Dale Trails. Take the left Turn signposted "Workshop" near the top of the hill for the Parking area and registration etc. As the main Event area is not at the top of the hill as it is centralised for all three events over the weekend, DH riders accessing the Track will do so from the main access road where the DH crosses and then ride down the remainder of the track and then shuttle up to the start to begin practice etc. - Or alternatively they can just ride up the access road for about 100m to the start of the track.CheersNige
nigelhicks Posted January 8, 2014 Author Posted January 8, 2014 For DH access etc The DH Track is shown in Red in the one image with the shuttle access shown in Green and Yellow.The green is a section of contour road that the DH riders will ride along to the collection point on the main access road. The yellow is the actuall shuttle section.
Super_mil Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 See you there.Will most likely be doing the Enduro on my DH rig though
nickcza Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Is there going to be a trail centre for these trails in the future?Would be great to have another permanent MTB venue close to Durban nickelass 1

They have a lot of work to do though to put in coffee shops and trail centres etc - but the vision is there nickcza 1
