Morne Veer Posted February 21, 2017 Share Hoping I finish a lap this week! Donovan, if you stay upright this time, you will waive at us from the podium afterwards - climbers course, for sure (as they pretty much all are)....and we all know, when it comes to the climbing department, you tick that box with a thick black permanent marker !! See you out there ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted February 22, 2017 Share Me and my son will also be there. Would like to meet them. We will be there at the Friday afternoon team briefing. BTW, we paid for the kit last night. Well, my wife did. I am broke. Awesome!! Say hi to the short one that is Carl and the tall one Waldo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted February 22, 2017 Share Stiff competition in both the men's and women's elites. Age groupers seem a bit sparse but hopefully with the online entry system issues, we'll see more register on Friday. SA XCO Cup - Entry List.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted February 22, 2017 Share Really such a pity it's the same day as X-Terra. I was really looking forward to bashing about trying to avoid being lapped...... Donovan Le Cok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dev null Posted February 24, 2017 Share Going thru as soon as my boy comes back from school. We should be able to leave here at 2. Should be there at around 14h50 - 14h55. Looks like tomorrow will be somewhat cooler. Good news for the Juniors and Elites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milky4130 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Now that was proper balls to the wall stuff today. Thank goodness the heat stayed away else it would've been one messy battlefield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky4130 Posted February 25, 2017 Share I was sitting in a pretty decent position for a podium, then lost 3 places on the 4th lap, 5th lap I just had to consolidate but a hell of an improvement from the first event. I also did myself no favors by missing the call up into the start chute. I had to line up right at the back & that cost me dereley on that 1st lap.

Morne Veer Posted February 25, 2017 Share PROPER test out there today - few very sketchy patches, with a lot of loose sand, which made the simplest of riding, a technical challenge. Well done to all who took part and managed to get of the course unscathed, I believe a few was not that lucky. Hats of the organisers (WP MTB COMMISSION), compromising of all the volunteers and parents. Again putting on a stunning event, and making sure that all visitors had a day out to remember. Good seeing all our international pro athletes there as well - a saw a lot of young boys and girls cheering them on, and running for autographs earlier in the day. I suffered for the most, so I guess it is back to the drawing board before the next one. milky4130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
