Christofison Posted August 25, 2020 Share Thanks guys. It's going to be siiick looks like we may be able to rope together some volunteer timing marshals...so things just stepped up a notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christofison Posted August 25, 2020 Share Mmmm.. I like this! How gnarly are the trails? I might come and ride the trails blind?The first three stages will be all blue trails and the final two are black. There will be a few gaps and drops that you might want to scope beforehand, most of which will have B-lines. It's hard to say 'how gnarly the trails are', without knowing your skill level. They're not double-black. Edited August 25, 2020 by Christofison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Langenhoven Posted August 25, 2020 Share The trio is in, so amped. Booking accommodation tomorrow. At least it’s a chance to get just a taste of enduro from this dry season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Stewart Posted August 25, 2020 Share I am planning a trip that way in September. I think I just found the "when" and the "why"...awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel De Vynck Posted August 26, 2020 Share Does anyone know of a campground in the area? Christofison 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christofison Posted August 26, 2020 Share It looks like we might be able to get some formal timing happening for the Witfontein Funduro 2020. That means everyone will need to register ahead of time using the form below. We'll still recommend recording on Strava as a backup though, just in case the timing goes pear-shaped on the day. https://forms.gle/G1H9eZZrzBizxQa76 Bos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not double-black.I'm a pro, Of course I think I hold my own As long as they are not blind landings and or very difficult/tricky? when well built, features can be cleared first go with good flow and speed. But thats a difficult thing to answer. I definitely wont be able to recon. Edited August 26, 2020 by Bos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All will be easily avoidable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Stewart Posted August 26, 2020 Share Does anyone know of a campground in the area?https://dwarswegstrandoord.co.za/ Another one is in Groot Brak about give or take 10km from Dwarsweg. Pine Creek Caravan Park.Then there's always Mosselbay, Hartenbos, Herolds Bay, Vic Bay, Ebb n' Flow at Wilderness, Buffelsbaai (my favourite, but a bit far)...
