[Event] 2019 SRAM WC XCO SERIES, RACE #3 ZEVENWACHT

[milky4130]

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

Could 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.

Well done to WC MTB  

 

Wish we had this caliber of events in KZN with sponsors and it actually being called XCO

 

Dean, really?

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.

nippers course revealed this morning. 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.

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 line

I may just make it out there as I see practice is until 6pm, in the past it was only until 4pm.

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.

Thanks Donovan. 10 minute laps for you and milky sure but not for me. 

But plan on doing my best and enjoying the suffering at the back.

I hope it was only taped off for practice & that it may be open for race day & official practice.

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.
