Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Looks as if it was EPIC.
Thermophage Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Looks as if it was EPIC. It was I rode K@K and came off twice in stage 2 But was psyched the whole way nonetheless Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
gummibear Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Nice to see Caveman out there. Looks like it was loads of fun.
T-Bob Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Would have love to have got in on this years one. When I'm back on the pedals... I'm there!
Hairy Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 very nice pics! Looks like the racing was close for the top 10 riders. http://trailtag.co.za/
HenryS Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 There's a nice photo of me there showing some bad technique. It was really a good day out despite going OTB twice in stage 5 because of my front wheel getting bogged down in the powder. Thermophage 1

BikeGenie Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 I too had a roll in the powder! It was an awesome day out. Meurant knows how to put it together.
Rock Guy Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Loved it! Everything was awesome! Thanks to everyone involved in making this event happen. BikeGenie 1
LazyTrailRider Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Was a great day out.The flat bit in SS2 was a killer, no wonder Gert Heyns opened up an almost 10sec gap on the rest of the field there!
Fisan Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Awesome pics as always! Is it possible to #enduro with a hardtail? Like a 100mm-front one...? I want have a go at this - and the enjoyment factor always seem to be way up there (compared to the the typical post-race-singletrack-congestion-complaints of your average MTB race). I just don't want to write off another wheel... Thermophage and Rushdee 2

I want have a go at this - and the enjoyment factor always seem to be way up there (compared to the the typical post-race-singletrack-congestion-complaints of your average MTB race). I just don't want to write off another wheel... Definitely this one. I did see at least one hardtail there. Some of the enduros are quite technical, but generally they are doable on any bike. It all depends on your skill level..
Eddy Gordo Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 If you can handle tech terrain drops and jumps on your hardtail then you will be able to some of the enduro's at least
nox1111 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 I would pay to watch this Woodcutter segment go down...https://www.strava.com/activities/432959344/segments/10413863009 I honestly don't know how that is possible, but since I was not at the race - I will have to assume it was epic balls to the walls flying!
