nigelhicks Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I love how natural the trails are - just ruts and roots everywhere ... Next provincial will have a stage like that ... I have decided!!!

niterider Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 Rode 2 of the stages this morning. They're riding pretty good. The rain hasn't made it too much worse. Such awesome fun. They have cut the one stage in half though, likely because they're considering the slippy rocks in the second half to be a bit dangerous
nigelhicks Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 NR .... from someone who has actually ridden the EWS stages, how difficult are they in relation to SA trails??? % Pedaling vs actual DH? I know the one stage uses part of the DH track so that must be tech, but how tech are the other stages on a whole?? Would be nice to have a comparison to see how we are going here with our series.
nigelhicks Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 At Giba? YES!!! going scouting on Sunday to find some new lines if you keen to come with

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 That is brilliant! A good case for mud tyres, maybe?

niterider Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 Just got back from the finish. The tracks were mental. We rode stage 1 after the pros were done and it was a slippy muddy mess. I spent more time lying on the ground than on my bike. Also saw Nico Lau crash big on stage 5 on a tricky off camber rooty bit.
niterider Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 Nigel, I'll send you some thoughts on the course when I get home.
