This year marks the 18th edition of the Magaliesberg’s most iconic one-day mountain bike race, the Fedhealth Magalies Monster MTB Classic.
Renowned for both its on and off route experience, the Fedhealth Magalies Monster MTB Classic routes provide all the hallmarks of a truly South African mountain bike race featuring the necessary ingredients that a quality mountain bike race should have, namely a great setting, spectacular scenery, technically challenging sections with unique single track and a fantastic atmosphere as you ride through an area that was formed 2 billion years ago.
After conquering “The Monster”, riders can look forward to relaxing in the Festival Village where they will be treated to massages while enjoying an ice-cold drink and indulging in a scrumptious meal.
