The Momentum 94.7 cycle challenge is the world’s second-largest timed cycle race, after the Cape Argus Cycle Race. It is held annually on cycle challenge Sunday, the third Sunday of November in the city of Johannesburg. Between 20,000 and 30,000 participants complete the challenging 94.7 km (58.8 mi) course every year. The event’s main sponsors are 94.7 Highveld Stereo and Momentum.
The 94.7 Mountain Bike Challenge is held the weekend before the road race. It consists of two distances; a 30 km (19 mi) race and a 55 km (34 mi) race. In 2012 a 40 km (25 mi) fun ride was introduced and took place the day before the 94.7 Mountain Bike Challenge.
Our very own Mr Brian Clark took to the streets on the 15th of November to participate in the 94.7 cycle race for his 10th race. He finished the race in 3 hours and 18 minutes. Good job Mr Clark!
