Stretched@Birth Posted January 2, 2019 Share I rode the current course a few days ago, will need to up my game a little (ok, a lot), the course challenges the skills and fitness, but it’s a lot of fun! sirmoun10goat, cat-i and Wendell 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendell Posted January 3, 2019 Share Very exciting news. Would love to try a few. Where do we enter? Cost of entry?Morning Engel-a, We are not making a fuss. The testers will NOT be official races as per license and rules and regulations. I intend these to be opportunities for anyone wanting to give XCO a bash to do so without pressure. NO frills. We will have HELIVAC as our medical service provider and we will do hand timing. The cost will be the normal THABA TRAILS fees of R50. Entry will be at our trails office....However.. the Gauteng races and the SA Champs areseperate from my 5 TESTER events. Red Bird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendell Posted January 3, 2019 Share Hi Wendell, do you have a link to the entry page? Or where do we get more details?Morning cat-i, the testers are a way for riders to enter XCO. Therefore we will not charge to enter these five events just the normal R50 entry fees to ride the trails. It further serves to familiarise yourself with the course as we develop the final track for the Gauteng and SA XCO Champs.SO... enter at our trail shop.... nothing official just pure fun BUT....yes always a BUT... I hope you will then ride the three MAJOR EVENTS..ie GAUTENG CUP APRIL/22.... GAUTENG CHAMPS JULY/06 and SA XCO CHAMPS July 20.and listen to this.... these three events are POWERED by CENTURY 21, the leaders in Property. Medical service provider is HELIVAC.

Red Robin Posted January 6, 2019 Share Please excuse my ignorance regarding this. Do the Nippers do the same course but just do less laps (seems to be 3) or do they do a different course? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Robin Posted January 7, 2019 Share For xco, what ages are nippers and sprogsNippers appears to be the normal u10 when I looked at last year's results when I was trying to find out info about the laps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinnyone Posted January 7, 2019 Share Nippers are U11 if I remember correctly, and they do a shorter, easier course than the main groups... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the Nippers do the same course but just do less laps (seems to be 3) or do they do a different course?At Thaba Trails we prepare a slightly different trail for the Littlees.... It will still be a true XCO course but there is plenty of time ahead for them to have their parents stress about the difficulty of the course. I want them to have fun and return for more.
