milky4130 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Well done to WC MTB Wish we had this caliber of events in KZN with sponsors and it actually being called XCO Thats strange KZN use to have the best run\organised cycling events. When did things change, since losing the UCI World Cup Races? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky4130 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Still trying to figure out where they setting up the course on Zevenwacht?Hopefully somewhere close the the downhill section where they can incorporate some of those features into the XCO Course, I dont know either so your guess is as good as mine.

samson99 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Looking forward to bringing up the rear again!! Entered SubVet! Edited April 18, 2019 by samson99 Ashold, Donovan Le Cok and milky4130 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morne Veer Posted April 19, 2019 Share Entered and excited - always fun (I know I know, hurting a lot for the most, but strangely that enhances the "fun"). New venue with good potential for future - let's see how things pan out, I know the organisers and volunteers, are hard at work (as always) to make the magic happen.

Eddy Gordo Posted April 20, 2019 Share Maybe the first part of the dh line, then dipping to the right through the woods. This is away from the dh lines.So Stoked to see Qunoots track back in the limelight. AWESOME Edited April 20, 2019 by Eddy Gordo milky4130 and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottelaryHillBuddy Posted April 23, 2019 Share I havent ridden it yet but from the photos posted on Social Media, i can see at least 2 gap jumps.Hi Milky definitely some gap jumps on the course I've been down it some months ago prior to it being an XCO course following the down hill guys with my HT and quickly made an exit through the bushes :-) milky4130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashold Posted April 24, 2019 Share Looks like a short, sharp course. 2.99 km and 150 metres of elevation. The others have been over 4 km so far, but will have to see what sort of lap time can be turned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
