On dates to be told this will see the inclusion of a fun enduro event in the morning to give riders and participants an opportunity to sample some of the other incredible alpine trails on offer at Afriski. Saturday will also see a full day of official practice for the downhill, with riders having to hone their skills on the demanding tracks.
Nigel Hicks, Downhill Technical Delegate for CSA had this to say: “It is fantastic to have Afriski Mountain Resort in the mix for dates to advised. I would like to extend a huge vote of appreciation to Peter and his team for coming on board and offering to host a round of the National Cup Series. Afriski and Kapoko Bike Park are renowned for their amazing trails with the African version of “antigrip”, and with Lift-access, and 5 Downhill Tracks to choose from are a worthy host for the SA Cup Series Event.”
Peter of Afriski had this to say about the event: “We have developed an extensive trail network all accessible using the T-Bar uplift and we are very excited to be able to host another SA Cup series event.”
