Bos Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 @Esel, is the 60km not open to the Saturday only riders?
wolver Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 So this means that there will no longer be one day event on the usual November date?
Headshot Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Time to do some bike light and battery testing. This is going to be interesting on my 160mm travel trail bike :-) The_Phoenix 1
Bos Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 @Esels, That's a pitty. I wasn't aware that would be the arrangement. Are there any entries left for the 3 day race? @Wolver, The date has moved back and forth between October and Nov but its always been the same race/festival so I don't see there being another event.
FanieFiets Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 I just entered.....where on earth do you find info regarding facilities, food etc. Like what you posted, but more on the rest of the festival. The only info I can get ANYWHERE is the little race poster.

THE TRACKSThese are NOT the final profiles of each stage, but it is an estimate. DAY 1 This 40km will be a day\night ride starting at 6pm so the correct lights will be required. We expect the average rider to do the last 20km in the dark. This section of track has been part of our normal night race of the festival over the past few years and has a total elevation gain of 740m. It will be a bunch start but will have plenty of passing opportunities. The results from Day 1 will be used to seed the riders for the next day which will be a 60km race with approx. 30km single track. DISTACE:40kmELEVATION GAIN:740MSINGLE TRACK:30KMWATER PONTS: 2, at 19km and 27km DAY 2 This will be the ride of your life with a single track combination that will blow your mind and give you an all-over body workout from counter balancing your bike.
