Griffin

Recommended Posts

Event Name: Howick Enduro
When: 23 September 2017 - 24 September 2017
Where: Howick, Kwazulu-Natal
Category: Enduro

- Skills clinic 23 Sept with some of the best KZN riders acting as coaches. 3 groups.. beginners, intermediate and advanced. The coaches will give you tips and show you techniques on how to ride and tackle the obstacles. Skills will take place on the actual race route so you can put the skills to the test :)

 

- Skills to be followed by a free-ride/un-official practice session as all race routes will be open. Please note that you may only practice the routes if you have been part of the skills clinic

 

- Its a long weekend so possible get-together on Saturday night... venue/time to be confirmed. Cheap beer/pizza, beer/burger or beer/wors roll option for those who would like to carbo-load for the race the next day

 

- Race day 24 Sept : option of either Enduro full (5 Stages) or Enduro Lite (3 Stages). Both categories have podium positions. Inter-schools option will also be included (riders will still be eligible for individual participation)

 

- 3 new/revised Stages. Combo-entries at a reduced price for skills/full Enduro or skills/Enduro Lite

Keen to enter. Where do we enter? Will be my first enduro, what protective gear is required, as I only have a helmet at the moment?

 

Will the enduro light have the same 3 stages as the enduro full (barring the extra 2)? Trying decide which one I want to do.

Entries opening soon on ROAG.

You don't have to have any extra gear. The enduro light is aimed as an intro to enduro so the stages aren't too hectic. It's more to show guys what the sport is about and how cool it can be. The full enduro has some knarly bits that might warrant some knee pads if you get it wrong.

 

First 3 stages pretty much the same EXCEPT there will be bull runs for the guys doing the full and wanting to ride the hectic stuff.

Hi Griffin, I'm assuming that's 23-24 September not November. Or is there another one in November?

 

23-24 September.

Thanks Orbit and Griffin.

 

Think I am going to enter the full as I know I am going to enjoy it, I was just worried I would hold people up behind me. But I will just move over for faster riders.

Im keen on the skills clinic the day before, will that also be on ROAG?

Will be good to use the skills the next day as this will be my first enduro, so will try out the lite version.

Last year was also my first, a real eye opener! Found that the fast guys tend to have really loud hubs, but hell they are fast ????

Self seeding... if in doubt rather hang back and go later

 

If there are faster guys who would prefer to be be last just let them know to give a decent gap :)
