[nigelhicks]

Hey Guys and Girls

 

See the following for the next provincial at Giba Gorge MTB Park! Remember to do your Pre-Entries as you need to show your slip at the gate or else you will have to pay R10 entry fee at the gate ... and then pay the late entry fee for the race too.

 

See you all there.

 

Saturday 15th February @ Giba Gorge KZN MTB EVENTS

 

Cross Country – The XCO event will run a similar course to that of the previous event held in 2012, with a short start loop incorporating the factory and quarry area. The largest climb will come in the form of the Switchback Valley and Mainline Climb up to Mikes Drop with a fast decent back down to the Quarry to start the next lap. The course will be great fun to race and all are welcome to attend. Entries are on www.roag.co.za

 

Enduro – KZN Mountain Biking have fully embraced the Enduro discipline and are hosting a Provincial Series in conjunction with the XCO on Saturday. The trails are EPIC for the Enduro with 3 stages planned to get the adrenalin pumping on some fast flowing trails. Although descending in nature the trails that will be used form part of the everyday park trails that all the riders enjoy, so this discipline is aimed at anyone who is looking for a fun day out on their bike. Entries are on www.roag.co.za

 

Downhill – The Downhill event will be held on Sunday 16th with unofficial practice on Saturday 15th. The event will utilise a BRAND NEW track at Giba Gorge, incorporating some steep sections near the top and some fast flowing forest sections at the end of the track. Racing should be really tight on this new track. The track is exceptionally spectator friendly, so if you are not thinking of participating, bring the family and have a morning cruise in the park and then watch the racing unfold from around 12:30 onwards. Entries are on www.roag.co.za

 

KZN MTB is also having a discounted entry fee special for 2014 – Enter for TWO events and get R100 off your purchase! That’s a great deal so we hope to see lots of faces at both the XC and Enduro, as well as the Enduro and Downhill on Sunday!

 

Park Entry for RACERS will be FREE (Please show your pre-entry ROAG reciept at the Gate). The Park will charge a fee of R10 per SPECTATOR for the event.
