Super_mil Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Hoozit Heading down on Thursday already to take in the beautiful Midlands ,Just checking if we can still ride on Friday morning tho ?Absolutely. All the KK trails will be open. Just keep an eye out for guys (Nige & Dave) who will be taping the tracks. And don't forget to get your day permit from the KK club BEFORE you head out onto the trails.

Ive never done anything like this so im super amped excited.com As I understand it registration and race briefing will be at the club, then go park at the loading zone (which is en route to the Lebanon climb) and ride from there... Correct Nige/Dave? You will have a jol, don't worry!
RM Slayer Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Super_mil you said something about a braai, do you have details?Friday evening, Saturday evening?

Do it, you wont regret it.From what I remember its a really fun flowy track, apparently some rock gardens have been added.I don't know of any recent videos.
Bizkit031 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Hey guys some mates want to come and watch the Enduro where will there be spectator points?

Ive never done anything like this so im super amped excited.com RayJ - if you coming in hot you need to then make a plan and enter online ... then contact Dellah Paul from KZNMTB as you will miss registration on the day REGISTRATION IS FROM 8-10am on the SATURDAY at the Karkloof Club. So you will need to get someone to register for you or something - I suggest you contact Dellah and make a plan.0827815656 As I understand it registration and race briefing will be at the club, then go park at the loading zone (which is en route to the Lebanon climb) and ride from there... Correct Nige/Dave? You will have a jol, don't worry! YES - registration is at the Club from 8-10am ... Open practice is from 8 to 11Riders Briefing is in the Satellite event base at the DH finish (7km away from the club) just before the start Racing starts at 12:30
nigelhicks Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I might just give the DH race a go, is there any link to a vid for Karkloof DH perhaps? Can't find on YouTube.So amped for enduro 1!! We havent had a chance to do a DH edit yet unfortunately. The track is very beginner friendly. Some BIG jumps but all have B-lines There are 2 rock gardens ... One small, slow and tech with 3 line options and One LONG one - this is steepish, but there are easy lines that pick your way through it ... Otherwise the track is fun fast and flowy DH - Unofficial practice all day Saturday.Registration - Sunday AT THE CLUB! FROM 8-9AM!!!!Official Practice with shuttles leaving from the bottom of the track is from 8:30 or so till 11.Racing from 122 race runs - best to count.
nigelhicks Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 GUYS PLEASE ENTER ONLINE - ONLINE ENTRIES CLOSE THIS EVENING! http://www.roag.co.za/eventinfo.aspx?EventID=1466 you can enter on the day - but if you miss the registration times then its bad luck, also you will incur a late entry fee and wont be put into the lucky draws for some Royal Racing gear courtesy of Shreddtech!
nigelhicks Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Hey guys some mates want to come and watch the Enduro where will there be spectator points? Yes there will - but they wont really be marked - The best for them to do is drive up the Demagtenburg road to where Stage 2 crosses the road - they can then walk down to the gauntlet from there. Or park on the bottom road at the end of Stage 3 and walk up into Jewitts from there. Guys there is a NO VEHICLE policy on Sappi plantation roads ... okes found on here will be severely dealt with as their actions will likely cause the event to be banned in future years. So please take this seriously. I have attached a map with spectator car routes shown in red ... Also a map of the club vs the trails and Satellite event base.Green are race stages - Blue is rider access (no vehicles!)
Super_mil Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Super_mil you said something about a braai, do you have details?Friday evening, Saturday evening? Lekker so you guys are pulling in! Since there will be a bunch of people camping at the club and the bar will be open, the plan is to have a braai on SATURDAY evening after the enduro event. IT IS NOT CATERED, so bring your own meat and salads (or whatever else you plan to eat) and there will be braais available at the club. Pub will be open as mentioned so please support the club by purchasing your beverage of choice from the pub.
