Can anyone shed some light on the type of racing i.e. XCO or Trial and the distances per age group? Asking so we can see if our boys would be fit enough for this series.

From what has been shared, it's looks amazing 

 

You need to SEE this ...

 

There is the odd born racer that shoots out front.  Then the rest ... some can ride level, some can do a bit of single track (very easy tracks), some can shift gears .... it is a lot of FUN.

 

And yes, if your kids have been doing some trails with you, they will be in front of the rest quick enough.

 

 

ENJOY

Look at https://mysportevents.co.za/events-list/

They seem to be coordinating everything for the School race series.

Thats pretty much only the entry portal. 

There is a committee that does all organization, in conjunction with the schools. 

@jokerman I can add you to the whatsapp group for Gauteng if you are interested. 

Does the school in which your kids are participate on the school series? 

Also keep in mind: The XCO/XCC races have much lower entry numbers vs the school series. Roughly 20 in XCO vs >100 in school.

Hi there, 

I'm still slightly confused about all the events and categories available...and which ones is which  lol !!!!

Yes please !!!! I'm interested in the Gauteng region.

I dont think the school participates at yet, as it's fairly new and small BUT I'd like to find out what is needed and assist them in getting registered for it.

Thanking you in advance
