2013 Events - help your fellow hubbers

[jcza]

It's a new year and with the monumental amount of nonsense of here regarding Lance, motorists, cylists, douchebags, wheel sizes, slow/fast, fit/unfit etc ad nauseum I thought it helpful to assist folk looking to plan their race entries for this year by sharing yours. Here's mine:

 

Best one day MTB race: Lionman (no more.....sadly)

Best road race: 94.7

Best weekend away: Clarens

Best stage race: Berg & Bush Descent

Value for money: Mankele

Tougest one day race: Cradle Quest

 

Worst one day race: Mogale train chase (if you're not going to time it say so up front)

 

Special mention: Advendurance for MTN & Nissan series

 

Please only include events that you participated in

For a quick ride, the Parys Island Dirtmax is a blast. alsways pust a smile on my face. Start near the front to avoid getting stuck behind slower riders on the single track.

Slow beginnings for me

Worst one day MTB race: Sondela MTB Classic.

Some MTB events which are always good and not to far from Gauteng: Sabie Classic, Forest to Falls (Graskop), Magoebaskloof classic. All of them in a nice part of the country and the family gets a nice weekend away.

[JJDT]

I started MTB races last year and my very first race was the Magalies Monster which was also the most difficult for me. As for a road race I always like the 94.7. I'm a social rider that only do one race a month, so can not comment more. I would also add that the Magalies Train chase was not well organised especially at the finish and the timing aspect.

Sould add: Road Race - Best Vibe and Kuier: ARGUS
