No Pressure riding.The first " Tester " is on the 2nd March and 2 weeks later we hosting Gauteng Cup #2 (16th March ) we swopped our date in April.

Hi Wendell

 

Excuse me for just posting the details. Cat-i was asking about the main Gauteng events and where to get more details about the races held at Thaba so I posted in response to her.

 

Thank you for taking the initiative to organise the testers. Will definitely come support you guys.

Cheers Wendel. Long time indeed. Life got in the way.

I'll have my little tyke down to Thaba for some pre-race familiarisation - see you around. Like most boys, he has a healthy dose of lunatic in him and is guaranteed a hard fall if he doesn't know a course before he boots his 'accelerator'.

I missed Saturday due to an injury and doc visit. From those who went, how was it?? Still suffering from fomo :(

 

They cancelled the one in Feb. Yesterday was a scorcher. The track is insanely awesome - very well manicured, but technical!!! Climbs are steep and rocky, but quite smooth and yet it is taxing. Lots of drops and steep downhills too. So much fun - looking forward to the actual Gauteng Cup.

Was disappointed to arrive there at 1:50 on Saturday to hear that all categories already started. 

 

Could not find info on Facebook page. How did other people know to arrive earlier? Is there a mailing list or whatsapp group that I can join?
