94.7 Cycling Challenge
The Pick ‘n Pay 94.7km Cycle Challenge is once again behind us ... Gauteng's “toughest race”, should actually be termed the “safest and greatest race”.
Our kids enjoyed the 947m, 4.97km and 9.74km kiddies races on Saturday, while we thoroughly enjoyed the race on Sunday this year, even if the rain and strong wind gave us all a bit of a beating at times. The race has once again received great support from the Johannesburg residents for this great event and the crazy 24 600 cyclists who took over the roads. To Karl, your time of 02:45:54.4 is truly inspiring! To the crowds ... “thank you very much” for your support, cheering and assisting the cyclists who ended up fixing tubes and chains. To the organizers “a big thank you” for the excellent organization and total road closure, which definitely makes this race a highlight.
To my cycling colleagues ... may the force be with us next year to slowly close the gap on Karl ... q;-)
