Bike Boards
For those who already have their season’s bike boards allocated to them, this must be brought along and presented during the registration process. Those who have not yet received bike boards will be liable to pay a once-off R50 for an annual bike board. Replacements of bike boards will be levied at an additional R50.
Course Lay-Out
For those that raced WP MTB XCO # 1, the course has been altered. This is due to the fact that the management at Rhebokskloof Wine Estate has granted us the opportunity to use the lawn in front of the function venue, restaurant and manor house. This means that participants will race along the dam wall and the finish line will be positioned to ensure a spectator friendly environment.
Please click here to view the course lay-out. It measures 5km’s for the full course and 2.5km’s for the shortened course (marked in yellow) for the Nippers and Sprogs.
Race Schedule
The race schedule has unchanged from WP MTB XCO # 1. Please click here to view the race schedule.

Official practice is at Rhebokskloof Wine Estate between 07h30 and 08h30 on Saturday morning. The course should be laid out from Wednesday this week, but should you wish to ride at Rhebokskloof Wine Estate you are required to sign their register/indemnity at reception and pay the R35 levy.
Prize Money
Should the number of entrants exceed 250, the prize money will increase substantially from WP MTB XCO # 1. If this is the case, prize money for Elites could exceed R1500.
Race Results
Unfortunately, due to Eskom’s load shedding, a programming error occurred on the timing system. To ensure that the results are accurate they are being reconciled with manual results taken down from Saturday. We expect a full set of results to be posted by Thursday.
Generators will be organised for WP MTB XCO # 2, should load shedding occur.
Photos
Photos taken at the WP MTB XCO # 1 by both Shane Wilson and Sieb Sieberhagen will be loaded on the website by Wednesday afternoon. A professional photographer will once again be assigned to WP MTB XCO # 2 at Rhebokskloof Wine Estate. These photographs will be published on the website during the following week.
I have added a couple of photos – OK more than a couple – from the race on Saturday. I have added this to the Gallery menu item.
We have more photos coming from our pro photographer.
Full race results should be posted by Wednesday.
Thanks for the awesome support from everyone over the weekend.
Event entries are up for this weekends race. A little more onerous than last time but will hopefully smooth out the registration this weekend.
