  1. hi there, is there a map or route profile for the 40km MTB event?
  2. Thanks for that Sir. I'll check them out.
  3. Hi guys, Where can I find info about MTB trails in and around Oudtshoorn? Me and a couple mates want to do about 30km per day for 3 days. I'm sure there must be some built trails or routes we can tackle....but I can't find any... What happened to Cango MTB trails?
  4. Hay cK is the 500m ascent part of the 27km route? Do you have a profile of the 27km?
  5. Hi Guys, There are still entries available at www.spurlotcr.co.za And the single day event this year will be a big focus, so much more fun than last year for the single day event riders.
  6. There is the event the Lord of the Chain Rings 3 day stage race in Hogsback where the terrain covered is so varied that after each stage you have covered cross country type technical single track sections, climbed mountains and obviously come down the mountains as well where downhill skills will definitely count in your advantage. Check it here: www.spurlotcr.co.za

  8. Oh, WAIT!!! I see now what you used...... the price of R4250 for the "Lord of the Chain Rings" that you have in there is the price that includes 4 nights HOTEL ACCOMMODATION and ALL meals!!!
  9. Hi Dubber! Awesome work putting this together THANKS!! Just one thing I noticed quickly is: The prices you have for (PE2PLETT ; DR Evil Classic and Wines 2 Wales) are for single riders, and the price for the Lord of the Chain Rings is for the team of 2 riders.
  10. Wow! Not sure what happened this week......entries are suddenly streaming in!! Must be pay day So those that want to book accommodation best act quick!!
  11. We are actually contemplating making the after party the official STAGE 4!!
  12. Hay Feltgood, don't know what happened to our original hub thread, but it disappeared I think the LotCR is suited for the 29ers, although there are some tight single track sections, with short sharp little inclines where the 26ers will be more suited.....but as a whole.....29ers will be first choice for some.
