Van Eeden \u2013 who is the head trail builder on the Helderberg Trails, where Round One was run \u2013 outclassed Theo Erlangsen and Darryn Stow for the overall win with a combined quickest time of 00:14:35.<\/p>\n<p>The event consisted of four liaisons and four timed stages, with a total ascent of 1290m for some 990m of descent. 85 gravity riders lined up on the day, which started out at a chilly five degrees Celcius, but later heated up in the comfortable low 20\u2019s \u2013 perfect for bike riding \u2013 and four great Enduro stages followed. It was a perfect, clear winters day in the Western Cape, with the usual amazing view of the whole False Bay, towards Table Mountain. The line-up even attracted the likes of since-retired multiple world Xterra champ, Conrad Stoltz (who finished last due to a puncture).<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-07555100-1465217416.jpg\" data-fileid=\"739324\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"739324\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-07555100-1465217416.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-07555100-1465217416.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/a><span class=\"italic text-sm text-slate-500 block mt-1 mb-4\">Daniel Dobinson on stage 1 during round 1 of the 2016 WP SRAM Gravity Enduro series, held at Helderberg Trails, just outside Somerset West.
