milky4130 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.One of 2 things, that is only the nippers & sprogs course layout or we all will have to do an extra lap or 2 Donovan Le Cok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashold Posted April 24, 2019 Share One of 2 things, that is only the nippers & sprogs course layout or we all will have to do an extra lap or 2Could well be the nippers and sprogs, I see the lap count on the official programme says 5 laps for us sub vets, seems normal. Could change on the day if laps are done in 12 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ians H2Sport Posted April 24, 2019 Share Well done to WC MTB Wish we had this caliber of events in KZN with sponsors and it actually being called XCO Dean, really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeisLife Posted April 24, 2019 Share Dean, really? Just my view on it... Just saying I wish we had bigger sponsors like SRAM etc. like the WP events do and align the name of the events with the category of racing. I love the events and XCO style of racing and always try encourage more people to join in to grow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the route posted above is for the seniors but I’m guessing lap times are probably going to be 12-15mins, then lap count will remain as is, but as you say & as we’ve seen at the last race things can change on the day.

milky4130 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Anyone riding the course on Friday with a GoPro?Won't make practice but keen to see the course. And also the jumps and B lineI may just make it out there as I see practice is until 6pm, in the past it was only until 4pm. samson99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donovan Le Cok Posted April 25, 2019 Share I wont make practice so I stopped on the way to Paarl today. The course is pretty simple, long climbs and fairly basic descents. All the big jumps have been tapped off. I recon 10 minute laps. milky4130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, by taped off I should have said poles in the ground. There is no actual tape yet. I hope we do still get some big jumps. milky4130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
