nickc Posted August 22, 2014 Share It's on the same weekend as the 94.7....damn.Which one to choose. Yes difficult one to choose - congestion, overcrowding, bad tempers and a mad rush at the 94.7 or brilliant scenery, nice calm forested ride at Magoebaskloof. Going to be difficult to decide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted August 22, 2014 Share 94.7 is 16 Nov? Unless you're talking about 94.7 MTB race which is a total waste of time and money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franco2017 Posted August 22, 2014 Share @nickc and jcza.I have never entered any 94.7 race bfore and have read nothing nice abt the race on the forums and now with u guys telling me how crap it is.nickc, I think the Magoebaskloof is such a nice place and to do a MTB race there must be so awesome.I think I will enter and give the 94.7 a big skip.

You won't be sorry.......nice vibe, relaxed atmosphere, no oversized egos and depending on how hard you pedal, THE MOUNTAIN will treat you nicely. Good for the soul........and the sport.

franco2017 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Sounds like a lekker race with lekker people.Pity I cant do the 20km race with my 10 year old son.He needs to be 12 to enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarHugger Posted August 22, 2014 Share Sounds like a lekker race with lekker people.Pity I cant do the 20km race with my 10 year old son.He needs to be 12 to enter. Be thankful, there is a reason for it.........that 20km can easily equal in intensity some of the 40km distances done in Goetang........Magoebas is to be respected and enjoyed.
