Meezo Posted January 26, 2023 Share 12 hours ago, Meezo said: My guess is Hoogekraal, Contemanskloof and Jonkershoek... These have proven track records and logistically can manage an event like an Enduro. I can't see any of the other Tygerberg trails being as easy. The 4th is a mystery as much as Tokai might be a option unlikely with SANParks and their red tape... Also will be a logistical nightmare to get 4 decent stages (Bridal, Snakes, DH0-DH3(end or start) and Vasbyt(extended)). Helderberg hosted Enduro's back in the day and it's worked well there too... So maybe God forbid they decide on Paarl. We know how brutal that was to most, you never know though. Can't think or see of any other. The dates are set put it in the calendar, so thats 70% of the planning down. to quote myself another venue that used to run quite well, yes it had brutal climbs and heat was always a bitch is Welvanpas...

Robbie Stewart Posted January 26, 2023 Share 1 hour ago, Meezo said: no date and not confirmed, but in 110% for witfontein this year. those mountains are special... and now my new favourite venue to ride in the Western Cape Witfontein is the jewel in the crown that too many people undervalue. That trail is awesome. Christofison, Meezo and Matchstix 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welvanpas would be ideal on a beautifully cold and wet day. the climbing is not THAT bad. Meezo and V18 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORNE Posted January 26, 2023 Share 10 hours ago, Jewbacca said: Banhoek? I'd hazard a guess there will be more 'gateway' Enduro this year with maybe one 'gnar' event. I will try to make a turn this year. My riding is currently at 'entry level' so hopefully it's a nice easy intro like Hoogekraal or Conties YES please. cant be more entry level than me though...although I have progressed a small amount. (i can atleast now fall in style, or get clipped in on time haha) we can at least hang on the way up Jewbacca and Jako De Wet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORNE Posted January 26, 2023 Share 11 hours ago, ChristiaanSt said: We working hard in the background to give everyone something to look forward to. Unfortunately its not as easy as just picking a couple of venues and hosting it there as there are a lot of things that can make them a "no-go". (council approvals, farm owners, time of year etc). As much as we would like to pick the 4 nicest venues and host it there it is simply not possible. We will be releasing some info regarding the first event in the next day or 2 so keep an eye out for it. to be honest. I don't really think anybody cares where they are (except @Robbie Stewart haha), least not me, I'll do my best to still do them all anyway. I enjoy the format. And the logistics of organising an event is not lost on me. I just want to know which ones when. So decide already! You have to know which one goes first and second by now? at least? Commit damnit! 😄 Robbie Stewart and Jewbacca 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORNE Posted January 26, 2023 Share 8 hours ago, BikeGenie said: so somewhere in tygerberg it is then. prolly hoogies. moved on account of cape epic in the area for sure. Maybe have it over 2 days because half the field cant do 5 stages on one day🤣. 2 stages on one day, 3 on the final day. Could be a fun experiment. Ps: 5 stages will be a nice warmup for the funride world champs the next weekend. Edited January 27, 2023 by MORNE BikeGenie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a fun experiment Seeing as I'm usually in the back half of the field I guess I fall firmly within this category. I support this notion and will vote for this party 🤙. dasilvarsa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well ignoring other responsibilities…it could be fun to have an enduro over a whole weekend and multiple stages over like 2 or 3 neighbouring farms. Imagine an event that encompasses ALL the trails on a network. You have to do all of them…from the blue lines to the black ones. “unlocking” all the stages as you go Edited January 27, 2023 by MORNE Jako De Wet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
