nigelhicks Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 RayJ - remember to call Morne and ask her to register you in the morning like you did at Giba, then you wont miss morning registration.
pinerepublic Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Want to scope the enduro runs on Friday afternoon but don't know the area. Are the runs signposted, mapped or would there be someone that can direct me? Can't wait to get on the trails. :-)

Ray J Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 How the pre entry numbers looking? Who ever doesn't do a Cascades Enduro is silly coz its awesome!!! #justsaying and yes the wind was crazy yesterday! I know a few of the Enduro guys did a night ride there last night...well Im not sure if they went through with it and maybe drank beer at the Keg instead

BaltazarMarques Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 EDIT: goggles handed in. All sorted. Rad day of riding. Very challenging, demanding and draining though. Dropped my goggles (yellow and Black 100% The Accuri with blue tint lens) at the bottom of Doctor evil on the road crossing. The lady marshal there gave them to someone driving a Nissan bakkie license ND 32... If anyone know who that is, please could you PM me and I'll sort you and the driver a beer for their trouble.
nigelhicks Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Balthazar - you got your goggles hey??? They gave them to me ... and then i dont know but i think they ended up with the "owner" ... also you left too early - you could have won a royal racing shirt in the lucky draw!
Ray J Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 That was a lot of fun, thanks to all involved Stage 2 caught me out on the switch backs and i managed to do a front flip onto my head haha... The ride/walk up was awesome LOL... Who was taking the pics by the wooden bridge and the finish of stage 4? Hope I can get to Hakakakahahakakana some day

I did get them thanks Nige. No way, unlucky me. Bummed to have had to leave early but had to get back to JHB, next time I'm taking the Monday off. Such an awesome weekend of riding. Thanks for all the effort you guys put in. Very much appreciated and long may it continue. Just wish I was closer to ride the incredible trails more often.
JPD Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Thanks to Nigel and Dave and everyone involved for an awesome series and champs! Already looking forward to next year!!!
