I have heard super things about this race. The 80km Monster isn\u2019t for the faint-hearted and features some good climbing and technical riding. I am looking forward to the challenge. My goal will be to race as best I can, perform as best I can and have fun\u201d.<\/p>\n According to Kleinhans this will be the first time that he takes part in an event in this area. \u201cI\u2019ve heard that the route is hilly, rocky and quite technical. This sounds like my type of riding. I am definitely looking forward to taking part in something different. Stillwater Sports\u2019 events are always well organised. I am looking forward to a new challenge, as it always helps to keep things exciting. Apart from a good social experience almost always offered by mountain biking, racing is my profession. I hardly ever line up for a race without a top result in mind\u201d.<\/p>\n EVENT INFORMATION:<\/strong> FNB Magalies Monster Mountain Bike (MTB) Classic presented by ISUZU<\/p>\n DATE: Saturday, 23 May 2015<\/p>\n VENUE: ATKV Buffelspoort (North West Province)<\/p>\n DISTANCE, COST & START:<\/p>\n 80km \/ R290 \/ 08h00<\/p>\n 45km \/ R190 \/ 08h30<\/p>\n 20km \/ R100 \/ 09h00<\/p>\n CSA Temporary License<\/p>\n 45km & 80km \/ R35<\/p>\n Follow us on Twitter: @magmonstermtb<\/a><\/p>\n
