Been on and off the bike for the last year and a half but this makes me want to go into full racing mode again, wish all entries where that cheap.

Makes you wonder whether other organizers will follow the trend. We will have to wait and see!!

Looks like Garmin is picking the bill. Not all orgs have this luxury, a number of MTB races are held to raise money for charity and have limited or no sponsors for their race, R50 will not make a dent into their costs and make zero for their charity.

Makes me think of the Mahala Magic two years ago, where entry was free. It was a great event.

It depends on the distance. 50km is quite technical but doable. 30km is intermediate and the rest is very easy, consisting of mainly jeep track. Single tracks are flowing and fun. Elevation is quite flat - mostly short steep climbs.

Thanks bud. Please let me know if you got the exact elevation for 30km.
