FNB new title sponsor of Magalies Monster MTB Classic

I see this years entries were R180 for the 75km so if it stays in that price range i shall be adding this event to my list for next year.

Lets have a guess - new sponsor, inflation etc.

I'm going with R 230

can we pay with our ebucks?

@jcza , probably true,

wouldn't it be nice though for the new sponsor to bring down the cost and not come in and look for ways to make a massive profit from their first official race.

is there a time limit for this race? talking of the 82km

Dont think so, this year the last guys came in at around 8:30:00 for the 75km

I'm there again. Just booked my Chalet at Buffelspoort for the weekend. Family can chill, and Daddy can K..K!! off!!

Keen for this,

Who has done the 80km on a rigid and just how tough is it.

Only long one I have done is Lionman and that was super tough for me.

Yes...it is tough I am not going to lie...singlespeeding is ok, its the terrain that is relentless on your body with a rigid that hurt me....but it is a lekker hurt

Wont do singlespeed,

1x9 for me.

Just need to get the fork (JCMeyer I still have to measure) and then find myself a pair of big boy panties.

Singlespeed isn't the issue, the climbs aren't ubber steep, just long. But ja, kidney belt would be a great accessory, I have to say though....its the flippen awesome race...humbles you quick quick

I ride the area every now and then so know roughly what is in store for me.

climbs wont be an issue on a sub 8kg steed, but I know the downhills are going to break me a bit.

Will need to go for a good massage the day after.

Sub 8 kg Steed, damn mine is almost double that.

This race is so tough that jcmeyerss is building a geared bike

hahaha no he uses ductape!!

hardcore singlespeeders....

Sub 8 kg Steed, damn mine is almost double that.

It sits at 9.2kg's now in race mode.

With dropping the fork and going to 1*9 it will be just under 8kg's.

Might use the stronger XT's with chunky tires for this race though so 8.5kg's

Mmm... extra afkak... I like!!!

hahaha no he uses ductape!!

My morning ritual at joberg2c....seattle when I wake up, drop kids at the pool, breakfast....and then I tape my nipple with ductape....ready to race. Works like a charm.

Plan for next year is singlespeeding with lots of walking ,running in between .I have tried riding that thing ,but i always end up cramping like a teenage girl

It clashes with the MTN Rooiberg event which is also a bloody tough race!!!

Entries are OPEN! I entered now, so I can mentally prepare myself over the next 4 months...!!!

I'm at least booked in at Buffelspoort for the weekend, so its about 100m to my chalet!!!

Mommy at the finish line with my cooler box full of ice and beer!!!!!

Would like to do 40 this year, the 20k last year was my first

anybody know what the total ascent for this race is? - ok , website has it at 1750m....not too bad, are the climbs singletrack, jeep track, smooth, rocky ?
