South Africa - Enduro Tour with Alfie Cox

General riding levels

Level 1:

Gravel lanes and open trails alternating with single trails without steep ascents or descents, and with the occasional detour on longer stretches of tarmac to avoid off-road sections that are too extreme. Suitable for novices.

 

Level 2:

Gravel lanes with washouts and potholes, eroded open trails, occasional deep ruts, firebreaks, dry river courses, simple river crossings, single trails without steep ascents or descents. Suitable for novices.

 

Level 3:

Rutted gravel lanes, eroded open trails with water holes, single trails with tight turns as well as extreme ascents and descents, demanding river and stream crossings. With longer, easier passages in between. Riding experience in the area recommended.

 

Level 4:

Slopes, scree, deep sand, ruts, slippery ground: There is difficult terrain like this, as well as steep ascents and descents to master. Also on the itinerary: Mud holes, steep slopes, slope traversing and fast riding. Regular riding experience in the area required.

 

Level 5:

Extremely challenging sections of terrain are ridden in all weather conditions, whether in wet weather or extreme heat. A generally high level of riding technique without any longer, simpler passages means high demands are placed on physical fitness. The group will only get through this with team spirit. Regular riding experience in the area required.

Riding levels for heavy offroad bikes

Level 1:

Dieses Level umfasst gut gepflegte Asphaltstraßen. Es ist geeignet für Anfänger und Wiedereinsteiger. Die Strecken sind zugänglich, aber abwechslungsreich, und erfordern ein gutes Maß an Grundfitness, um die längeren Distanzen bequem zu bewältigen.

 

Level 2:

Dieses Level umfasst eine Mischung aus gut gepflegten Asphaltstraßen und möglicherweise offenen Kieswegen. Es ist geeignet für Anfänger und Wiedereinsteiger mit Vorerfahrung. Die Strecken sind zugänglich, aber abwechslungsreich, und erfordern ein gutes Maß an Grundfitness, um die längeren Distanzen bequem zu bewältigen.

 

Level 3:

Fahrer werden technisch anspruchsvolle Asphaltstraßen in Kombination mit bis zu 40 % Kieswegen und Landstraßen erleben. Diese Routen umfassen Anstiege und Abfahrten, lockeren Untergrund oder Steine an einigen Stellen und gelegentlich einfache Singletrails ohne anspruchsvolle Passagen. Es gibt einen regelmäßigen Wechsel zwischen Asphalt- und Kieswegen. Schwierige Offroad-Passagen werden umfahren, um die Zugänglichkeit zu gewährleisten. Fahrer benötigen Vorerfahrung und eine gute körperliche Verfassung, um das abwechslungsreiche Gelände zu bewältigen. Dieses Level ist nicht für Anfänger geeignet.

 

Level 4:

Dieses Level umfasst anspruchsvolle, kurvige, schmale und manchmal einspurige Asphaltstraßen. Bis zu 60 % der Strecke bestehen aus Kieswegen mit Auswaschungen und Schlaglöchern, ausgefahrenen Landwegen und Singletrails mit engen Kurven und Haarnadelkurven. Fahrer begegnen außerdem tiefen Spurrillen, Brandschneisen, Sand, Schlamm, steilen Anstiegen und Abfahrten sowie trockenen Flussbetten und einfachen Flussdurchquerungen. Schwierige Passagen können umfahren werden, aber Offroad-Erfahrung und eine gute körperliche Verfassung sind notwendig, um dieses anspruchsvolle Gelände effektiv zu bewältigen.

 

Level 5:

Dieses Level umfasst bis zu 80 % ausgefahrene Kieswege mit steilen Anstiegen und Abfahrten, ausgefahrene Schotterstraßen und Singletrails mit Wasserlöchern, engen Kurven, Haarnadelkurven, Sand, felsigem und rutschigem Untergrund sowie lockerem Boden. Fahrer müssen steile Anstiege und Abfahrten, felsige Stufen und sehr wenig Asphalt bewältigen. Oft sind schnelle Fahrgeschwindigkeiten erforderlich, und schwierige oder anspruchsvolle Passagen können nicht umfahren werden. Regelmäßige Offroad-Fahrpraxis sowie eine sehr gute körperliche und mentale Fitness sind unerlässlich, um die rigorosen Herausforderungen dieses Levels zu meistern.

 

In order to provide maximum safety and maximum driving fun, the participants will be divided at least to 3 - 4 different speed groups.

The classification is based on the honest self-assessment of each participant upon registration!

If a participant has obviously chosen the wrong speed group, we will provide if possible (depending on the maximum size of the group) a change to the correct speed group.

Participants who have signed up for a race are automatically put into faster groups.

 

General Grouping

• Level 1 - "Beginner"

  Rookie on the circuit – but has road experience. Instructor support highly recommended.

• Level 2 - "Sport"

  Has already track experience - however, if the respective race track of the event is new, an instructor can also help if possible individually in this group.

• Level 3 - "Expert"

  The race track is his home. Has been already a participant of several track days and races. Laptime hunter and „low-flying aircraft“.

The TNT Team reserves itself the right to individually adjust the block size and the number of groups to the requirements of the circuit and the total number of participants. If the number of level 1 participants is too large for one group, a second group (Level 1a) is added to the schedule. The maximum group size depends on the given number of motorcycles that are allowed to be on the track at the same time.

HELMET: An offroad full-face helmet is recommended. The lighter it is, the less strain there is on neck muscles.

NECKBRACE: The neck protection system that can reduce spine injuries in the neck area to a minimum, while at the same time guaranteeing maximum freedom of movement.

PROTECTIVE GOGGLES are fitted with a double lens that doesn’t fog up as easily.

A classic MOTOCROSS CHEST PROTECTOR or PROTECTOR SHIRT protects your back, shoulders and upper body. ELBOW GUARDS are also worn and over those a CROSS SHIRT plus, depending on the weather, a GILET or a (waterproof, breathable) JACKET. Lined jackets with integrated protectors are less suitable for tours in the summery South.

A KIDNEY BELT supports and relieves the strain on your back muscles.

MOTOCROSS GLOVES are best for offroad riding; gloves made from neoprene are worn in the rain.

CROSS PANTS made from synthetic materials are robust, yet lightweight. Hip protectors are recommended.

No one goes off-road without KNEE GUARDS.

ROBUST (OFFROAD) BOOTS have prevented more than a vew foot and ankle injuries. The smooth sole allows you to steady yourself when drifting.

Tools and spare parts for fixing the most common breakdowns are carried in the BELT BAG. Twostroke riders always have some oil at hand. Always carry something to drink, your driving license, vehicle documents and some local currency for stops at the village pub. Offroad riding can be very strenuous, which is why overly warm clothing (full-face road helmet, leather pants and jacket) is ill-advised for summer tours in the South.

HELMET: Closed all-round/touring helmet with visor.

Multifunctional TOURING JACKET for all weather. The jacket should be breathable as well as both wind- and waterproof. Removable protectors on shoulders, elbows and the back area are a sensible standard.

ALLROUND PANTS made of robust material. They should be breathable as well as both wind and waterproof. Removable protectors on the knees and the hips made of foam offer good protection.

KIDNEY BELT, protects against the organs and muscles cooling down and provides a certain support function which has a positive effect on the spinal column.

High quality MOTORCYCLE GLOVES made from synthetic leather are well suited for use on the road. They should be breathable as well as both wind- and waterproof. You can wear lighter gloves without cuffs in warmer temperatures.

Touring BOOTS with safety elements for shins, ankles, heels and toes have prevented quite a few foot and ankle injuries. 100 % waterproof boots are only recommended in Northern Europe.

Always carry something to drink, your driving license and some local currency for stops at the village pub.
