Jeeptrek Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 The race is back on 2 November 2014 as a Cape Town Cycle Tour qualifier. A much improved MTB route for the MTB race on 1 November 2014 - Woodlands Country Estate MTB challenge. More detail on www.fscycling.co.za
kandui Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Bump.Thanks to PPA for taking over this event. a Free State PPA office will be set up and profit from the cycle races will be used to fund initiatives. A similar model to PPA and the Cycle Tour.

Vetseun Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Agreed - the MTB is however a new addition.I rode the Woodland Hills part of the course yesterday. All I can say is Spectacular!!
hboli4 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I rode the Woodland Hills part of the course yesterday. All I can say is Spectacular!! The mtb route is going to be lekker and the road will also be a challenge. For the mtb they are linking the Woodlands trails with 7 dams and another section on a property adjacent to Woodlands. Should be a good test.

Brandkop is lekker, but I train there every week so can't wait to see how they lay out the route
3sB Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Anyone doing the road race? Is the 100km route similar to last year?
So Is Es Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Anyone doing the road race? Is the 100km route similar to last year?http://www.fscycling.co.za/eventmangaung.html
3sB Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I see that we will be riding that nasty Albrecht street climb again.
hboli4 Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 I see that we will be riding that nasty Albrecht street climb again.Yip, that 2nd part of it stings a bit, especially on the route as it is now where we climb them later.
Pretorim Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 I see that we will be riding that nasty Albrecht street climb again.Compared to last year's route, its about 8 Km's shorter but almost 200m extra climbing.http://connect.garmin.com/activity/399314943 Really hope it is well supported though, would hate to see this race disappear forever.

The new organizers went through a lot of trouble to ensure that the Manga will be around in the future. Looks like we are going to have a lekker wet ride. Bring it on
Wil6 Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Yip, that 2nd part of it stings a bit, especially on the route as it is now where we climb them later.It's a short climb. Not really something to be worried about. Ry jy Sat en Son?
