PMB World Cup DH #1

[Stretch]

Guys, I am making the trip down from Gauteng, on the website it just gives directions thru town, I never been in that area, are there not gps co-ords? To me it looks like its in town at a shopping centre??? Or have I got the wrong info. Thought its in the bush?

 

simple....peter brown offramp...turn right...first exit at traffic circle (left)..all the way down till traffic light....left...next traffic light...turn right...and bobs your uncle..fanny's your aunt

Cool thanks Guys, think I'll get it now, Never been there, but I'm sure I'll see a lot of MTB guys around, Will be there early, so will be fine

As far as I know GM will be on the V10. Not really influenced by the whole mine is bigger than yours competition.

Realistically.. I would like to see how much difference a bigger wheel would actually make over the course of 5 minutes on a dh course. Might be nice experiment... Take the same rider ..5 runs on a 26... and 5 on a 29...

Hey Nige, how did this affect the course, if at all?

well..the trials course is no more!

 

rode around the area recently and there is major washouts and rutting...I will let nige give the lowdown on the xc and dh course

there were a couple of ruts here and there - but the tracks were largely unaffected ... They have been designed to be sustainable even if it pisses like that ...

 

There were just a couple of trees that were down.

No, I think you are not giving yourself enough credit - that should have read "the tracks were largely unaffected due to the design and building of the course being so amazingly good"

Does anyone know what the ticket prices are? If I go on the site (http://mtbworldcupsa.co.za/) and try to get tickets it takes me to the CSA site and it wants me to get a CSA licence???

Nigel I hope you have thrown in some surprises for these foreigners and their trail bikes - I hope their bike choices prove to be horribly wrong. Go Greg.

If he has you can be guaranteed there will be more than one whiner brit who complains that he made the track specifically for Greg and that Greg rides it every day etc etc etc.

I was there last year. What an experience!!! I heard there's a lot of new features on the track including a much more technical rock garden, does anyone have any pictures of the new features?
