Gen Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Sadly it's a bit far for me to do 2 trip in 2 weeks.. (we are heading that way for magalies monster in a couple of weeks time.) But maybe I can make the next one. Edited May 6, 2014 by Gen

de Wildt off roader Posted May 9, 2014 Author Posted May 9, 2014 For the riders joining is tomorrow , Please go to our Facebook page , De Wildt Off road series to have a look some snap shots of the scenery & examples of the route marking
Pants Boy Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Please don't get despondent - local races takes a while to get known and popular. Keep plugging at it. As far as advertising, try contacting some local clubs (go to the bike shops and chat to the owners) and get them involved. If our club knew of this (and it wasn't Warrior race this afternoon) we would've rocked up in some numbers. Just my 2c.

TALUS Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 I often wait up to the end due to unpredictable work. Dont stop
de Wildt off roader Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 We are from De Wildt ... We push on and push thru ! After the weekends event , we actually feel very posative ; NO ONE GOT LOST , and everyone enjoyed the route . We even found a lost set of car keys & cellphone ! Gauteng North cycling actually asked us , if we would be interested in hosting another event prior to 8 November 2014 . The jury is still out on this one Thank you so much for all your feedback & suggestions . We have learned a great deal , Grrrrr
