Good Day 

What are the trails that  are included in the 5 stage race?dont know if I missed it.

Just curious as I only ridden there once would like to get  some practice in 

 

 

Hasn't been announced yet. Black Rhino is definitely in, then maybe go check out last years route.

Stage 1: Training Camps

Stage 2: Supertubes into Freeride

Stage 3: Forest Friendzy (DO NOT ride before SUNDAY)

Stage 4: Revised Enduro

Stage 5: Black Rhino into Happy Hops

Training Camps - is that the single track climb from the bottom gate up? Probably going from the top of Supertubes off to the right? I remember doing that a few years ago there and can't think of anything else it might be.

 

Stage 5 will be a serious test of fitness - probably 7 mins+ for many people - but it's an awesome trail

I shall be timing you buffoons... see you there

Funny that the only stage I don't know anything about is the only one that doesn't have a preview from wild air. Guess it's going to be a surprise to many

I'm seriously starting to have FOMO, but that revised line has two corners, well more like one that are a total mental block to me, maybe on a race day I would've overcome it, but guess I'll find out next year

I went and test rode Black Rhino yesterday afternoon. Im very glad I did. It has some stuff on it I would have balked at riding without seeing it first. Hugely fun trail but it will be very tiring coming as it does after a lot of climbing...

it's a beaut bit of trail that, but has become pretty blown out in the last couple of weeks. I wonder if they are going to restore it ti it's original state or leave it as is?

 i normally ride Tokai which is always loose and interesting so I didn't really notice much trail damage. There is maybe one tricky berm that's very loose  if you ride too low in it, but for the rest it was pretty good. There is one rock garden/rocky roll down that I suspect might become tricky if the rocks are knocked out of place.
