Why are the events on 2 different weekends.?

Why are the events on 2 different weekends.?

Hi Fanie thank you for your query. The decision to split the races over two weekends was taken as a result of the growth of the mountain bike event over the years. The size of the race now requires more time to ensure we can continue to deliver the high standard riders have become accustomed to.

Not good for out of town riders .... wont travel both weekends .

[Abercrombie]

Maybe so but it suits riders that wanted to compete in both but wanted fresher legs

Thats why it's called the ultimate quest !! 2 races back to back.

To have the two races on the same weekend must have been a nightmare for the organizers.  I imagine that they would hardly have had any sleep the entire weekend.

As a weekend warrior the "Ultimate Quest" was quite a challenge, but now it's just 2 different races on consecutive weekends. I think we still got a discount on entering the "Ultimate Quest" though.

So I missed out on an entry so I decided I'll take my boys out to Addo to do the Kiddies challenge. Apparently you can enter on the day, is this true?
