Dirtopia All Mountain Enduro - 3
Dirtopia All Mountain Enduro is set to take place on Sunday, 5th August 2018 at Helderberg Farm in Somerset West
Based on the successful Mavic Trans Provence concept the idea is to bring riding and the results linked to it back to mountain biking and away from the current endurance-only formats. That said, it is not the idea to make the race highly technical as per downhill racing, but simply to focus the competition on the trails component of the sport. And yes, perhaps your skinny tire 29’er carbon hardtail is perhaps not the best choice of bike, although the course will certainly be rideable on it!
At the Dirtopia Enduro, you’ll still be climbing and even be timed on some of these sections. We will make most of the jeeptracks and roads ‘neutral’ or ‘liaison’ sections. You will still be required to ride these. There will be daily shuttle or uplift sections to assist with elevation gain. These lifts are by vehicle and trailer. Therefore, the overall descent of the race will be more than the uphill.
Race Format
Riders participate as individuals and results are produced on a ‘per day’ and ‘overall basis.
Support
Waterpoints with fruit etc will be placed at strategic points to assist with rider support. The beauty of the format is that you can relax a bit at the stations and catch your breath before tagging into the next Special Stage.
Amarider Timing
Timing will be managed in real-time with @trailtag and riders will check in and out of the Special stages. This means that riders will enter special stages 1 by 1, so no bunfight to get trail position on the singletrack. Timing data streams live to the internet and we’ll also display data at the start/finish venue.
Pre-entry cost is R375 for non-members and R350 for Amarider members for one day. Please note that only pre-entries will be accepted! Includes permit, shuttles & refreshment station.
