My LEAST FAVOURITE race is the RAT RACE, with (most of) the HUMAN RACE a close second!

It used to be 99 kms.

Let's have some criteria for the best road race:

 

MOST SCENIC: Argus, Knysna (any other contenders in other parts of the country

 

MOST FAMOUS: Argus

 

TOUGHEST FINISH: 99er, Durbanville - final 10 kms all climbing.

Or, possibly, the Cape Cobra, a close 2nd.

 

 

Now, if we talk MTB:

That is beyond the scope of my experience. :blush:

A lot of you guys have not ridden Kzn I see. Karklook classic is one of the best. Hills forests, views over Albert falls dam and midlands. You forget the concrete jungle when u ride these trails. Not to forget those large trucks blowing their carbon up your nostrils and into your lungs. Argus has good scenery etc but really cant compare to the likes of Sani to c etc.:)

Got lost with about 120 other cyclists on the Shova because the cops/marshals decided to go for a wee or something and did an additional 21km with one hell of climb for nothing. Was apparently in the local news paper so Shova is last on my list.

 

Argus, Jacaranda, R4S and Berge and Dale was nice though.
