MAGOEBASKLOOF MTB CLASSIC CHALLENGE - Limpopo

MTB Challenges are the order of the day in MARATHONS & SPORTING EVENTS this month, and jirre, but some these challenges are WOES ne'?! 

We tried to pick what we think is a tough race, but not going to scare the crapples out of your first maybe-I-should-do-a-MTB-challenge attempt. 

Meet....

Now again, the area we find ourselves in is MAG.NI.FI.CENT, wow, the truely beautiful Magoebaskloof in the Limpopo Province. We haven't visited here yet, and its about time. 

Now the Stanford Lake College, in Haenertsburg Limpopo, is the host of this fantastic event, and alll registration details are available through them @ SLC MTB CHALLENGE

But lets back-track a bit and discuss the actual race... The Magoesbaskloof MTB Challenge came about after Gray Braadvedt & Rudi Viljoen sparked the brilliant idea of hosting a MTB event in the beautiful surroundings of the Limpopo Province. Its is a spectacular area with immaculate scenery and some of the best bike trails South Africa has to offer, so its only a natural choice for a race event. 

Any event of this nature draws the community in and opens up travel and tourism gateways, and taking to Standford Lake College brings the youth in too. 

The actual race has 4 options, ranging from the "I JUST WANNA FEEL WHAT ITS LIKE TO SIT ON A BIKE" race of 5kms the "IMA GONNA TEAR THIS RACE APART" version which is 80kms, but it doesnt matter which one you do, or how competitive you are, hell you might find yourself totally distracted by the scenery that you forget you are even in a race, and that's ok too, isn't it?!

Have a look at these pics of the area and of the race...
