Robbow Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Have entered the 75km, nice solid day out and the route looks pretty good. Will get to ride areas that normally aren't open and some pretty big climbing. I see the entry numbers are quite low, and the only reason I can think as to why is the lack of ROAG advertising. There are 1000's of MTB'rs in KZN and the races here are very well supported in general, but people here only use the ROAG system and I think the numbers would have been much better if their mailing list/system was used. Just a thought, because the race is in a great location and Im sure more people would do it.
RossW Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I rode this race last year. The numbers were appalling low. I thought it strange as well considering how many people ride MTB there. Hopefully it'll get better this year, but not much by the sounds of it. WesselvdWalt 1

Only with your support can this event become a success! Invite friends to the FB event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/772527956120983
