Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Bike type added to the results of Stage 1 & 2. Thanks very much, sorry for being such a pain. Too early to ask when's the next one............
Brian Fantana Posted March 18, 2014 Author Posted March 18, 2014 When is the next one? We'll have to decide on a time and a venue. We can use Hayterdale again, but I think it is time for some proper spadework in Longmore Forest. I have two runs of about 2km in length in mind. Both runs have 200-250m descent. It is just a matter of obtaining approval and raking some pine needles and shaping a few berms. There will be 2 stages, with 1 x practice run and 2 x race runs on each stage. So you will do 3 laps on race day. Next one will be Strava only, and we'll get a cellular reception booster/antenna for Strava uploads. Think it is time for a dedicated Enduro committee to be formed.

Now you've got me all excited again. Just on the Strava details, while it is an brilliant way to time events there are people who run GPS and then export to strava afterwards which are excluded if times are assessed straight after the event. They would need to run it on their phones to be included. Oh, and remember the donkey's for getting bikes up the hills for the next event!!! Edited March 18, 2014 by Steven Knoetze (sk27)

Well if a rider tracks his workout with a gps it is his responsibility to bring a laptop along and upload the workout to Strava. We will definitely ensure better cellular reception at the next one. I have camped a Hayterdale many times before, and always got just enough reception to upload workouts to Endomondo, but I suspect the number of people uploading at the same time made a difference.

Brian Fantana Posted May 5, 2014 Author Posted May 5, 2014 What is the latest news of Longmore... Well, before we can have another Enduro in PE, I think we need to start an Enduro Committee where each member gets his turn to organise one event per year. I won't have time to organise another one this year, as I need to manage the marathon series our club will be hosting later this year, and I am busy setting up permanently marked and maintained routes in the Baakens Valley.

Many hands make light work.PM me and I can try and help out where possible.
craig82 Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 I am also keen to help out. We should get together and chat about the new committee. Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1
MTB MAN Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Im sure there are a couple of us that would help with spade work and sort out where we can...
