rock Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 remember the two DH world cups that had in stellenbosch? '97 and '98 I think, They even had a citizen's race that I did. Courses were much more tame back then. Mohs, Danger Dassie and Jewbacca 3
Lurch the stalker Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Guess I'm coming to Cape Town that weekend... Patchelicious and kosmonooit 2
BaGearA Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Just the normal corse they used at SA champs in 2015 was flippen brutal !! Should be very interesting to see what changes they will make. Think the rock garden will be the first thing.
Stretch Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Let's hope the spectators support it. Pietermaritzburg lost their leg due to spectator support.No it didn't Danger Dassie and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
DJR Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Fantastic news! And if I have my internal calendar right, then it is going to be on Saturday 10 directly before the Argus on Sunday 11 March! That's one way of getting all the SA cycling nuts together for a big rowdy crowd! Donovan Le Cok, Shebeen, Gen and 2 others 5
Donovan Le Cok Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Where can we enter? Can't find any links! And who is doing the seeding?

And if I have my internal calendar right, then it is going to be on Saturday 10 directly before the Argus on Sunday 11 March! That's one way of getting all the SA cycling nuts together for a big rowdy crowd! The crowd is going to be next level. With grandstand at the reigns, I hope they can make this event commercially viable so we can have Stellies on the calendar on a regular basis. Total assumption here, but I am sure we will be charged entry to spectate, which I will be more than happy to pay. Hopefully they can also get a large sponsor on board as well.

The last xc was in the region of 100 bucks and the crowds were pathetic. There are others ways to make money from the event... CogitoErgoSum 1

Let us face it: There are too few of us serious cycling nuts. We need to attract more. That is what this event can do for cycling: Attract new blood and inspire youngsters. CogitoErgoSum 1
