Jewbacca Posted September 3, 2019 Share I'd say that the B lines will all be open, but so will the features, if you want to do them. Makes sense... 1 or 2 of the 'B-Lines' will definitely be faster. I hope they tape off and put a big arrow up at the 'lazy man's entrance' on Red Phoenix.... No matter that I know it's there, I still go up by default! I will see you all there and probably once or twice trying to get my 'Enduro legs' back before the big day. As Staind once said, It's been a while....

CJ Van Posted September 3, 2019 Share I'd say that the B lines will all be open, but so will the features, if you want to do them. The question now is which line is faster. The last feature on plumber 2, the rock with the wooden ramp at the bottom could be faster than the B line as you carry a lot more speed down that rock and the entrance is not that slow into it. The rock drop before the step-up could be faster if you do, and clear, the step-up. If you do the rock drop and keep left of the step-up it might be slower than the B line. Think it depends on the entry speed to the rock drop. Guess I will be doing some split timing on Plumber this Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease_Monkey Posted September 3, 2019 Share Asking for a friend. What's the lite version going to be? The two red stages - Armageddon (Canaries) and Red Phoenix (Bennet's Red). Dirt Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt Tracker Posted September 3, 2019 Share The two red stages - Armageddon (Canaries) and Red Phoenix (Bennet's Red). The Friend was hoping for 3 stages. I He might need to have a glass of cement and harden up for the real deal. Grease_Monkey, Jewbacca and Jako De Wet 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon it's worth the grit of the climbs to tick of SA Champs finisher in the 2019 radness book. T-Bob, Dirt Tracker and Grease_Monkey 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bos Posted September 3, 2019 Share I'd say that the B lines will all be open, but so will the features, if you want to do them. Ya, agree, I think they mean the A lines will be open more than the B lines will be closed. If the B lines are open on most DH races, I cant see how they can close them on Enduro days. There would be casualties for days. I will have to go try that step up.. I have almost forgotten about it. Iron Monkey also has quite a rocky section which might hurt even more by that THAT time of the day. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 3, 2019 Share https://www.trailforks.com/route/ewc-3-jonkershoek-full-enduro/ FYI - Last years ? And it wasn't anywhere near 1,900m. I'd go by the previous calcs, as they seem more accurate based on my recollection of the climbs and how many m you gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted September 3, 2019 Share The stats don't matter... It's a 45 minute climb to all the trail heads from the bottom. The end. Actual stats are irrelevant. If they add the bottom of the Plumber (They should) it adds another round loop back to the main drag. Look at 6 hours with minimal stops and delays.

Look at 6 hours with minimal stops and delays. 6 hours for sure - I was the last guy down Armageddon at last years enduro. Quite a few pulled the plug at the bottom of Zululand, its a bloody tough call when you finish stage 3 and look back up the hill. Its almost better not knowing the course and how much you have to climb ! Bos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
