CycleMTBRoad Posted June 18, 2014 Share Hi All, I'm selling a race entry to this weekend's MTN National MTB Series #7 Hilton Driven By Nissan. It's going for a bargain and if you are interested a swap is possible - I have checked with the organisers.

Robbow Posted June 19, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossW Posted June 19, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only with your support can this event become a success!
