[MTBeer]

You need to go to their website, then click on the ENTRY tab to finally see the costs.

 

 

VERY cheap.        Travel and the rest of the weekend will be way more ....

 

 

 

 

PS - I find this same convoluted "no price" on the front page thing on most events ...        Come on, put out the relevant information on the front page ....

Agreed. It's all over the place when things are advertised. Not only events. My first thought is - the seller is embarrassed by the price so they hide it away.

 

Why must I click click click all over for some vital info?

[Me rida my bicycle]

You are right, it looks like the 0% shift is only due to be in action from/by the 1st of June.

 

I still don't understand the need for beer!

 

hey buddy relax it was just a suggestion. If you don't want a beer after a ride nobody is going to force you to drink one.

All I noticed is everyone who finished around the time I did wanted a beer.

I think you misunderstood my tone. I am super relaxed.

 

My original point was taking into account the creation of more hoops to jump through to stay covid 'legal' and allow days like this to go ahead despite the current regulations.

 

The Stage races and 1 day races in the past had fully stocked bars, gin sponsors etc so I don't think it's a case of 'don't know don't care', it's a case of 'if we want this to go ahead, we have to keep it as simple as possible and not create choke points which will create regulation issues'.

 

But that's my take.

 

My industry makes me super aware of the  changes and issues which need to be addressed and considered in a massively altered reality.

 

I'm sure a beer tent would add huge value as well as food stalls and and... but the value just comes at a big risk/regulation headache these days.

 

Anyway, I hope everyone going thoroughly enjoys the trails. They are really special and absolutely worth the mission, even if there is no beer.

 

I'm sorry if I came across as anything other than joshing about the beer thing.

Looks like a good excuse not to go to WP road and track a week later on Laingsburg.(24/25) April 

think driving up to that sh1thole I will skip and rather do the Pickerberg

event

 

Isnt that WP Laingsburg event for youth riders or did I miss a memo?

[rickus.jooste]

to discract everyone from the booze discussion, the 45km route has changed, we have included some new trails. So it is a little different from the previous open weekend. much fun to be had and all that...

Jis I'm amped for this event.

The Grease Monkey and I plan to do the Mouton's Valley loop on Saturday morning, followed by Buglers Post after lunch. We may have to take a shortcut on the afternoon ride if Mouton's destroys us, but we'll see how it goes.

In for the 45 on Saturday. Going to be fun in 38 deg heat on my enduro bike, but wtf. Will take my own beer for after. :-)

[Cookie88]

Heading through with a couple of mates on Saturday for the day - looking forward to it. Haven't ridden these trails since 2016 which was one helluva day on the bike!

[Suzanne]
