Anybody have nice pics of Freefall pass, seems they heading up again and I can’t find mine to show Tristan?

shark_za · « **Reply #25 on:** November 21, 2019, 05:42:52 pm »

Freefall or Fox-Hole ?

edgy · « **Reply #26 on:** November 21, 2019, 06:23:07 pm »

Freefall

No good pictures, the only issue really is this rock step out the forest section.
The rest is steep but doable.

Yip I’ve been up and down and that big rock at the forest is the challenge

shark_za · « **Reply #29 on:** November 21, 2019, 08:25:47 pm »

So looking at the route for Silver/Gold. It seems they will go up the Sandstone White Rocks, down Fox Hole and up Free Fall again.
We get to ride along the top.

It is an interesting, very steep single track about 100meters long. Going down is fine but going up is challenging.

Freefall red
Foxhole blue
White rocks purple

Any WD entered for Roof 2019 in December?
Or who is going to be there and watch?

So??
NO WD going?

I have entered Bronze as it is my first and hope for a finish.

Have you entered before Ebredenhann ?

I tried yes, 2013, the year where it almost washed away with downpour. We were timebarred early in the race before even working up a decent sweat (hypothetically speaking now

. However my riding buddies each have a silver under the belt already from 2012.
