jcza Posted January 15, 2013 Share 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: 94.7Best weekend away: ClarensBest stage race: Berg & Bush DescentValue for money: MankeleTougest 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Potgieter Posted January 15, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickc Posted January 15, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJDT Posted January 15, 2013 Share 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.
