jcza Posted November 16, 2012 Share Due to new management at Mabalingwe & ownership problems the "Lion Man" event as it has become known will no longer take place. Instead we have replaced it with a new addition to the MTN National MTB Series Driven by Nissan at Rooiberg (Formally known as the Rooiberg Eco ride) EDIT: From advendurance Edited November 16, 2012 by jcza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Li Mu Bai Posted November 16, 2012 Share what a shame. I have been supporting the Lionman for years, always had a lot of fun there.Hopefully it will be back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceres Posted November 16, 2012 Share Misleading headline I thought it was some lion tamer that got eaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squier Posted December 11, 2012 Share Bumping this one... Haven't had a chance to throw my tantrum. So here goes; That really sucks! Lion Man was my first ever race. Still rode with my wife and we were super proud of our 3 hour 35km. It was also an awesome camping weekend with great mates! An annual tradition on our social calendar. So, from my side, here's a big screw you tot the new management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmonooit Posted December 11, 2012 Share I've done it 4 or 5 times, always loved it. It was also the first time I every discovered the joys of cramping (after trying to power through a thick sand section) How does the Rooiberg event / route compare?

I haven't done the race but I've done some riding in the area. Monster climbs and very sandy! So... should be great fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
