Recommended Posts

Event Name: Trans Augrabies 2024
When: 14/06/2024 - 16/06/2024
Where: Augrabies, Northern Cape
Category: Mountain Bike

The Trans-Augrabies MTB - 3-Day Stage Race will take riders through the majestic Green Kalahari region of South Africa, following the unique landscapes that make up the Augrabies Falls National Park and its surrounding area - covering more than 227 Kilometers over several types of terrain and expected weather conditions. Riders and companions will get to discover a region of our country recently rated under the Top Ten Adventure destinations by Rough Guides. A vast and desolate land contrasted by the green and vibrant valley of the mighty Gariep (Orange) River.


The Handicap Timekeeping System is the First of its kind in South Africa! By using a formula, we are levelling the timekeeping playfield for riders of any age and gender to compete for the Overall Handicap Position. This formula gives advantage to the veterans and females to see how they compare to the young and fiery racing snakes in the prime of their sports career.


It is by no means an easy race, but riders will be rewarded with breathtaking scenery and an authentic regional experience.

Die seremonie monster by Trans Augrabies is LIEF om te sê: "Fokus my kind, FOKUS"

 

Nogal nodig wanneer dinge "lekker" raak ... :)

@ChrisF ek hoop regtig ek kan die moed bymekaar skraap en commit om doelgerig te oefen vir die event.

My 2014 Vipa sal moet deug, behalwe as @Titan Racing Bikes `n demo will stuur😁

 

Die LEKKER ding van die event ....

 

Met Trans Augrabies is daar altyd n paar wat 1 of 2 dae ry. :thumbup:

 

 

90km op daai terrein verg n mate van fiksheid ..... drie dae in ry is nogal iets anders ....

 

MAAR ... dan kyk jy hoeveel ouer mense al drie dae ry .... rustig en versigtig, maar hulle ry al drie dae.  Juis DIE ryers wat ek dopgehou het in 2022 wat my gemotiveer het om al drie dae te doen in 2023.

 

 

2023 was daar selfs n lekker groep jonger ryers wat al drie dae RUSTIG gery het :clap:  Die groepie het na n lekker party bus gelyk :)
