[Event] FNB Magalies Monster MTB Classic

[Honkdonk]

I just registered.

According to Vleisbroek I last did it in 2013. I got to the car park first that morning. It was dark. My father in law had recently passed away and his funeral was the day before. Me doing the race was insensitive according the then wife.. I had trained hard. Catch 22..

It was a 26" 3 x 10 alu dual suspension. I did it in 4h40 something. It was tough.

 

Now I am looking at it with a hardtail carbon 29er. 1 x 10 and a lot stronger and fitter

Only thing is I have a 40th to go to the night before, but, that means many beers and a wasted Saturday. Been a hermit of late so one more missed party in favor of a morning out in the bush on the bike is no big deal. Plus many folk at a birthday jol wont miss me, if it was my 40th then it would be different story..

My setup is 1[32 oval] x11 [10 to 42 ]. But thinking about going to a 30 oval as I have never done this race before and not sure what to expect

I suggest you go for the 30 , its not the monster that you need to worry about , Its the first couple of short very steep climbs,

I tried to enter online now, but only short distances are given as entry options. Is the 70km sold out???

Go to the 40th - I'll take your entry!!!!

Will the riders be allowed to use the facilities inside the Buffelspoort resort e.g. showers, swimming pools or restaurant?

The race venue is next to Bpoort resort, and the resort does not allow day visitors when they are fully booked.all facilities are on the other side of the gate.

So I entered that Rehidrat Competition on Facebook for an entry and I wasn't successful. The kicker is that they only announced it yesterday...

You can do the party, drink juicy or 2 beers then early night.

Campsite booked. Lekker man , lekker. Just looking for a finish.

[Monkwe]

It will be my first, doing it on 29er carbon 1x11. We did Breedtsnek on saturday from Hekpoort (61km) and it was ok so I think I should finish decently on Saturdat.

[W@nted]

Just pace yourself.Definitely not a gravel travel 70km. The terrain is the real killer, not the distance or climbing. Lots of thick sand and lots and lots of rocks.

Try enter now if you had troubles, it is back up
