rossbotha Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Thanks to the 2 ladies you helped me out with the gel.
Jan_K Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 My first Enduro and I'm absolutely in love with the format.Big thanks to everyone who's taken the initiative, and put in the work to get this off the ground in Gauteng - and congratulations on the first event being such a big success!Keeping my eyes peeled for a date for the next one...
Daniel J Méssem Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 wish I could have been there any results yet?
kassiemier13 Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Awesome event, thanks to all who made it happen. Hope to see lots more in Gauteng.

remfactor Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Thanks to Johan and his team for organizing a great event. It was worth the drive from Tzaneen.We are planing to have an enduro in Tzaneen sometimes next year. The course is mostly built already.........feel free to come have a test ride!
CubeD Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Thanks to everyone for a great event! The courses were great and it looked like everyone had an awesome day! Got to change the name to Huck-o-hana! (or huck-o-rama!)200mm of travel and my rim looks like this...(had to be SP2 )http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k500/RedLadder/DSC_7607.jpg
Cruz Addict Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Awesome day on the bike, walking sucked balls, would have been world class if they shuttled to each of the run starts.Anyone know where I can find results and times?

It's not downhill. And results would be great!
RM Slayer Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 They wilk post results on the Event page for Hakahana!
patches Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Awesome event! Brilliant turnout! Thanks to Johan, Mr & Mrs Robodog, Sidewinder, NoFearNoFun, Goose111, Murray_Lotus7, and anyone else I've missed out that helped with the trail building and organizing of this enduro. Besides 2 flats on SP1 and an Aaron Gwin rim ride back to the car to swap bikes, it was an awesome day out!

Well... we were discussing this and maybe a "Premium Package" could be offered. Riders pay a little more, but this gives them access to shuttles for all stages. And maybe a Liquifruit and Romany Creams in stead of mixi-juice and Marie biscuits at the water points. Just kidding... whilst shuttling is awesome... this format makes me realize I need to up my fitness, without being penalized for my slow climbing.

That's your total time for the down stages that determine ones results. The ups are not timed, but there is usually a "window period" set in which a rider has to report to the start of a stage. From EMBA (the Enduro Mountain Bike Association)... "5.5: ResultThe General Classification (GC) will be calculated by adding all Special Stage times together for each rider." And as for the shuttle to the water point, that was just that. A rider still had to hike up to the start of SP one, and all riders had this offered to them. I get that shuttling to the start of a stage is not #enduro, but again, the shuttle drop off was not the start.
