31st July -
Polaris Navitac MTBO enduro - Franschhoek
-- |

An MTBO enduro. More tactical and challenging than the other Polaris
events. Solos and teams of two, will have to carry the required emergency
equipment and lights for the dark zone. The time limit is 8 hours
split into 3 blocks - 4 hours - 2 hours and then the last 2 hours
in the dark. The format here is each time you 'pit stop' you receive
new race info and a your planning starts again, but the clock keeps
ticking. For the entire 8 hours you race in the same area, between
the same 40 CP's , so you get to know the terrain, it's just the values
that change.
SO USE THE ON-LINE ENTRY FORM, GET
ENTERED AND BE THERE !!!
