Rouxenator Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 950m... wow sounds exciting.I welcome that after nearly double that over 66km this past weekend.
babse Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 not really sure why they chose this one for WPXCM champs.... It sounds like a road ride at bestya cant understand that either, compared to last year i think it was in wellington!? either way this doesn't sound too appetizing so wont be making the looooong journey (-+140kms from home).

Last year the WPXCM champs was the same race If I recall. I missed it because it was poorly advertised only on facebook. This year it is better well known but still not the best marketing. I hate vleisbroek but have to keep abreast of some events SA XCM champs was Trailseeker Grabouw in July last year. Tiletoria would have been a nicer WPXCM champs IMO but it is what it is Donovan Le Cok and babse 2
Neil de Wet Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Will there be any late entries on the race day?
DieselnDust Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Best to message them on Facebook. Registration is open on Saturday morning from 6am till 7h45
dannygirl Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Also trying to find out re on the day entries - messages on fb got me nowhere thus far...
Rouxenator Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 Despite the R360 entry fee (and CSA fee) you have to pay R20 for parking too...
tinmug Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Despite the R360 entry fee (and CSA fee) you have to pay R20 for parking too... Trivial economics. Did you have fun (barring the stretch past the steaming pile of manure)? Edited August 31, 2019 by tinmug
Rouxenator Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 Trivial it may be, but next year I'd like parking to be included in the entry fee - which I paid well in advance of the event. I did enjoy the ride - so much effort went into building the single track and it is highly appreciated. Everything was rideable if you had the correct pedals and I will be back, however next time on a shorter route. Nothing wrong with the long route, I just did it to satisfy my curiosity. Route marking was perfect, water points were well stocked, marshals where needed. Even the weather played along - so this event scores 10/10 in my book. Thanks to everyone involved.

Skubarra Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Trivial economics. Did you have fun (barring the stretch past the steaming pile of manure)? Out of principle I would also be annoyed if I travel a long way to support an event out in the countryside only to be charged a stupid parking fee. Not the best move from the organisers imo.

DieselnDust Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 they did mention it in their facebook posts well in advance
tinmug Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 R20 to park near start on field.Free under the trees, and in the road. ... and it is a fundraiser, after all.
