Lekker. I've never ridden ContermansKloof.

Yeah doing the full.
Will it be easy enough to go and recce alone or should I take someone along that knows the route?

There are going to be tons of people there tomorrow, guaranteed. You won't be "alone" even if you go alone.

Also, if you spot a Red Isuzu in the parking lot with a grey Stumpy hanging over the tailgate, that'd be me. You're welcome to join in. more the merrier.

Hi everyone
I made a bit of a boo boo down Plumber on Wednesday and have decided to withdraw from Sunday's Enduro.
I have an entry available if someone is interested.
Send me a DM.

Sorry to hear. Are you okay at least?

[Jako De Wet]

Yip all good, did the Hellsend Mates Race last night as well.

Bruised shoulder and leg, hand is a bit sore. I just think that 3 hours and all those rock gardens are going to be a massive grind with a body that is not fully healed.

I’m out too after fracturing my wrist a few weeks ago. Hoped that it would be fine by now but it’s still sensitive.
 

Shouldnt have done another run down rhino 1 after falling and breaking it right? Haha. Felt fine at the time🤷🏻‍♂️

What an absolute jol of a day. I loved every second of it. I nominate Forest Frenzy for stage of the day for sure. That line is absolutely mental and so much fun. I just loved the steep, off camber turns and speed that you get on that descent. 

Thanks to the Western Cape Enduro team and Rob Starke for hosting such an awesome event.

I can't wait to do this event again.
