This section of track has been part of our normal night race of the festival over the past few years and has a total elevation gain of 740m. It will be a bunch start but will have plenty of passing opportunities. The results from Day 1 will be used to seed the riders for the next day which will be a 60km race with approx. 30km single track.

dirtypot Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 Entered Is there an Ezel Enduro this year? I can't find it anywhere.
jock_the_GIANT Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 Its going to be my second one, hopefully it will go better than my first one.Lets hope for no mechanicals.
Grease_Monkey Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 Entered Is there an Ezel Enduro this year? I can't find it anywhere.No Enduro this year, as I understand it the EWC series is quite a bit of admin to organise, especially with Jonkers being an EWS qualifier this year. So the guys are taking the year off Ezel to focus on EWC, next year will be back on. If I am talking through the wrong hole, please correct me There is a Greyton takeover trail day also organised by the EWC crew - looks amazing.
