milky4130 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Today was my first ever Enduro. So stoked to finish the 5stages all in one piece. A bit bummed with a dropped chain on stage 4, then Extended periods of trying to scan out on stages 2 & 5. To add insult to injury by the time I finished stage 5 riding back to the Dairy Shed, I realized I was locked out on the front & rear shocks still from riding the liaison ????????♂️ #ouch overall happy as I had a few near smashed rims situations. mitsu, anybody seen george?, samson99 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilipV Posted June 9, 2019 Share This was soooooooooo lekker. It's lekker riding steep and deep trails again. Contermanskloof really is a special place. I liked SS2 and ss4 a lot! and if I hadn't dropped my chain on ss5 I might have loved that as well. We really need more trails like this in the Cape. I was the marshal at the top of ss4 along with phhenning. I am already looking forward to the next one. At the next event if you see the organizers, please give them a high 5, Harry, Dan, Rupert and Michelle all sacrificed riding to host this, and they put in a LOT of effort behind the scenes. Fortunately we are seeing the fruits of these efforts, as participation numbers have never been this high.

lock Posted June 10, 2019 Share Great event! I really like the enduro race format. Smashed by rear tyre on SS2, walked the rest of the stage. Changed the tyre (thanks Giant tent peeps), and off I went to SS3 and tons of more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 10, 2019 Share Rad event as always. I was just all over the place on the descents. Must have taken every single line out there, but the fitness was far better. Stage 5 was my favourite. Just wasn't able to get myself comfortable on the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge_Design Posted June 10, 2019 Share Soi want to get into the Enduro scene but first need a new steed.... What are you guys currently sitting on?I currently ride a Giant Anthem.... Anything in the 30k -40k range would do. Best bet in that range is probably a Giant Trance or Reign (I have the latter - bigger gap from the XC bike if you are going to keep the Anthem). There were lots of Reign's at yesterday's event so seem to be a popular choice. Lots of Santa Cruz's as well but that's a very different price level (not 100% sure there is any performance benefit to them but street cred definitely improves) Edited June 10, 2019 by Edge_Design Mohammed Shakier Mukuddem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease_Monkey Posted June 10, 2019 Share Flipen lekker day on the bike. I suffered a bit after a bad judgement call (riding Jonkers on Thurs and Helderberg on Fri) - but massive improvement over last year, much faster and better overall position. The event was really well organised as always, thanks to the organisers and marshals! You okes are legends. mitsu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
