Robbow Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Very SAD that Hilton Dirt festival is no longer part of this I'm sorry, but I disagree. Such a great area to ride, yet somehow the race wasn't. I hope it goes a LOT better in Ballito
NelAndre Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Anyone have the total accent we will be doing on the 75 and the 45?Looks like the 75 is 1200 ascent and the 45 is 850.
