Rockspider99 Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 lol, would be great for organisers but probably true, event probably not posted yet on the site.
Robertson Winery MTB Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 Hi guys. I'll check with PPA to get the entries open as soon as possible. Sorry!
Robertson Winery MTB Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 We have a massive site in the old KWV buildings on the right hand side of the road. There will be able safe parking with security and a few bike wash stations. It will be totally safe!
Robertson Winery MTB Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 Not sure if I should be glad or sad about the change of venue and routes.I do like that that the long route is now 70km.But the first 25km of the old long route were proper mountain biking. I am going to miss this (if excluded in the new long route).Hi Pooyan,I promise you we'll make up for it on the new long route! Some sections of our new routes was used in the first Epic that came through Robertson. But if you liked the previous route, watch this space.....we are considering a whole new separate event at the old venue, a bit more exclusive and at a better time of the year.

Jacques@ACT Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I will most likely be arranging a transfer service for riders from Cape Town to the event in Robertson. Transfer will be in a VW Kombi and I will take 6 passengers with luggage and bikes. Transfers by a fully registered operator (Africa Cycle Tours) I am flexible at this stage on times etc, but it will most likely be a transfer on Friday from Cpt to Robertson, returning Robertson to Cpt on the Sunday. The service will also include transfer between winefarms at the festival on the Saturday after the race as well as Sunday morning. I unfortunately won't be able to arrange accommodation for the weekend. The group will have exclusive use of the vehicle and guide for the full weekend. Cost for exclusive use for the weekend will be R750 per person (R4500 for the vehicle, max 6) Let me if anyone is interested.

Robertson Winery MTB Posted May 20, 2015 Author Posted May 20, 2015 Hi Guys. I've uploaded a sneak preview of the 4 brand new routes for the Robertson Winery Wacky Wine MTB. We're very excited to offer these route for the first time this year! Don't forget our new Venue in Voortrekker Street with loads of entertainment and food stalls to enjoy after the event. We've ample parking on the premises and even a clinic on site for those that made contact with our Valley's wonderful vine growing soil!
Slanghoek Louis Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 You do have a plan for upgrading the waterpoints ? A can of water is definitly not an attraction point. If you invest in great refreshmentpoints you shall see numbers grow very fast.Plan your refreshment point to be at places of intrest, not three youngsters or a women alone somewhere in the veld with 2cans of water. Invest invest. Get sponcers for your points and let then have the point to manage. Just my 2c
masterj Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 The last few km are running almost trough my front yard.....
Robertson Winery MTB Posted May 25, 2015 Author Posted May 25, 2015 Hi Louis. We"ll have a cool "refueling point" on the 50 and 70km routes to help the riders charge up again. According to regulations we need to have water available every 10km's to assist riders if needed, these are just water access points rather than refreshment points to help prevent dehydration. We've gone for the large refueling point on the longer distances as these guys will need it the most.
Robertson Winery MTB Posted May 25, 2015 Author Posted May 25, 2015 Masterj, these are our proposed routes but they might/will change to suit the conditions. That being said, I think you should organize a braai in your yard to cheer everyone on!
