Momentum 94.7 Cycle Challenge

Due to the HUGE demand, we are holding entries open until demand slows down!! A record amount of entries are coming in.

Make sure you get yours in...

Last year there were a number of bottlenecks, and riders from lower groups catching groups in front and trying to force their way around others. Also a really badly positioned watering point early on up an incline where people were stopping all over the riding line.

Saw some people loosing their humor a bit.

 

It was also scorching hot and they ran out of water at the watering point near Allandale. Only had this bad tasting blue Powerade or something like that.

 

So all in all was not the greatest event, but the sucker in me has made me go back again this year to see if it is any better.

They were saying on Supercycling last week that the delay between groups was going to be extended to aid with congestion. Problem was though that congestion was not only in the early parts of the race.

 

But hey, let's see, maybe it turns out to be a good day out, and then switching to the road bike the next weekend :thumbup:

my goodness you do enjoy the punishment :)

After last years mtb ride, I vowed never again, there are much better rides to do and get proper value for money. the road race will be good, (as always) and so will Berg n bush, Midvaal, Van Gaalens Trailseeker, and Crater Cruise leading up to it.

1 x sub 2:45 will be good enough for me.

But I have faith in your ability and you should easily manage that :thumbup:
