Rouxenator Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Positive. This does not use the dangerous wannabee trails. Since 2015 they have moved to the Trails around Dirtopia.
RustyHWR Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 Is the event on 17th September or 1st October?Dirtopia Events pamphlet say 1/10/2017?
LeoKnight Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 I thought it is the 1st of Oct. but might downgrade my race as I am considering also doing the nissan trailseeker the day before

LeoKnight Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 enjoy all that is doing the race. A bit of a late start and sad that did not get access to the big lawns.
Twaatie Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Did the 30km. Perfect distance for the Noob legs. Only a little bit of single track but very enjoyable. Trails all nicely marked Only thing I find a bit daft is the tag= tagging at the finish line Edited October 1, 2017 by Twaatie
Rouxenator Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Awesome ride! Went from doing a ride the furthest from home (Uniondale) to one next to home. Perfect weather, great vibe, managed to finish on a borked chain. Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

My eldest son was 3rd Junior in the 45. Nice ride this. Rode hard today. Managed to get home with a dust seal that popped on the air side. Also took a little tumble as I rode too fast around a bend on the farm roads coming back.
