IdeJongh Posted September 23, 2015 Share Event Name: 20th Barberton XCM MTB Challenge 2016When: 30 January 2016Where: Barberton High School, Mpumalanga, MpumulangaCategory: MTB We believe celebrations are at the order of the day, with this race marking our 20th race! We look forward to seeing the regulars and the new be's at the race. If you have any suggestions and comments, please let us know! Save the date and see you there Go to Event Page Maybe just a suggestion - this year that grassy singletrack winding upwards through the forest on top of the mountain was not great. It was not challenging enough to make us feel we accomplished something, but also not flowing to be enjoyable, it really just sapped time and energy. Rest of the route is just brilliant, see you in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barberton XCM MTB Posted September 23, 2015 Share He's had a rough couple of weeks because he was at Loftus the week before and experienced the first half humiliation by the Lions. By now that is insignificant compared to the Springbok defeat, but it still hurt... He's definitely going to Barberton - also considering the Ultra this time around! We're doing the Berg & Bush together in a couple of weeks and use it as the start of the base training for Barberton... Game on boys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris NewbyFraser Posted September 24, 2015 Share Is that campground in town still operational? It had been up for sale by the council (no doubt some junior Councillor wanted a new Merc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
