RABUBI Posted April 5, 2016 Share I did the trailrun on the same trails, and it was really nice, but we did a lot of gravelroads as well However the organisers said the next event will be 100% trail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgarblount Posted April 5, 2016 Share Howzit TFG, It is quite a chilled race. The 38 is not difficult at all. One or 2 rocky climbs, not that steap or long. A fair bit of gravel road and even some tar. There is some lekke single track from kilo 23-33. You can see that there is quite a lot of straight gravel\tar riding. Inside that blue circle you'll find all the fun. Spoke to Ruan (organiser) after the race and apparently some people moaned it was to technical and hard (see blue circle). I think we can expect a revised route come 23 Apr. Maybe even more straight lines with tar. Thinking of borrowing a CX bike... You can also do a seach on Facebrook for Subaru Trail Hunter series. There you'll find 200+ photos of the last race taken by Esther Louw. See you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgarblount Posted April 5, 2016 Share Is this different than the Subaru Trail Seeker? The one that starts at Leribisi Lodge? It's the Nissan Trailseeker... It was the Subaru Trail Blazer series and then changed to Hunter. But yes, it is that race that starts at Leribisi lodge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Slow Posted April 23, 2016 Share Did the 60km race today. Biggest benefit is the proximity to Pretoria. I enjoyed the predominantly "dirt road" route. They were giving someone CPR near the end, hope he is ok. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janneman72 Posted May 30, 2016 Share I've also done the first Subaru race, however I think the www.bouttime.co.za together with Navworld races are better organised, nicer routes and you get more bang for your buck and it usually goes towards a charity, especially with the annual WTF event(HUGE prizes and boerie & beer for all finishers!!! Then another and another beer). The Kaia Manzi is next with its own pump-track as part of the route, can't wait!!! These guys don't try to cut costs....
