Super_mil Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Joh, what a weekend!TBH after seeing the weather forecast on Friday, I thought it was all going to be a bit of a mess. That said we got gifted two perfect days of riding (yes the trails were a bit slick in sections) but overall it was flippen fantastic. The turn out was also unbelievable, with 160 odd riders turning up for the enduro . Yesterdays DH was just unreal! The track conditions ultimately could not have been any better on the day. It was an awesome day out. BIG THANKS to all the spectators that turned up. It was pretty surreal heading down the track and having support pretty much the whole way down, even went past a pair of full moons in the lower pines forest. Congrats to Tiaan Odendaal on the overall mens win and Kath Fourie on the overall ladies win (who then took herself off to hospital to get 3 stitches, after having done her 2nd race run with the knee already cut )I begrudgingly congratulate Nige on the Sub-vets win 87 DH RIDERS ON THE DAY I think the lack of comms on track and the shear number of riders kept the KZNMTB crew and the timers very busy, who all did a great job. I literally can not wait for the next one!!!!!
blondeonabike Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Well done Kath. She is one tough chick. We arrived in the afternoon on our roadbikes to quickly top up our waterbottles and she was busy helping pack up and sorting things out BEFORE she went to get stitched. Full of jokes and smiles!
David D Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Hi We came from Cape Town for the week end to swim the Midmar mile and my son Matthew used the opportunity to ride in his second enduro ever. We just dropped hm off for registration on Saturday and had to make our way back to Howick for the swim. We left him a "bit"/hugely under stocked, and the oke ran our of water while on the practice run. He was having a bit of a hard time, but thanks to some riders who looked after him and gave him something to eat and drink. A specific thanks to the rider who gave him a chocolate milk and a Bar One, you saved his day. I went looking for you at the prize giving to thank you personally and buy you a few beers, but you must have left already. Thanks a mill. Matt couldn't stop talking about how friendly all the riders were and how much he enjoyed the race. Well done and thanks all. KZN enduro rocks!Matt Karkloof.JPG Great job guys. Good to see the spirit of Enduro shining through.

rudi-h Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 if anyone picked up a matt black Bell full face helmet in the grass after the DH on Sunday, please let me know. I think I left it next to my car in the grass where I was parked about 200m down the road from where the shuttles started. Probably the 5th last car on the RH side.

There was a black FF helmet at the Karkloof Mountain Bike Club. The club put out a post yesterday with some details. I would suggest that you contact them via FB.
