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 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 30km race and a 55km race. In 2012 a 40km funride was introduced and took place the day before the 94.7 Mountain Bike Challenge.
Famous quotes containing the words cycle and/or challenge:
“Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Roumania.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
“The very best reason parents are so special . . . is because we are the holders of a priceless gift, a gift we received from countless generations we never knew, a gift that only we now possess and only we can give to our children. That unique gift, of course, is the gift of ourselves. Whatever we can do to give that gift, and to help others receive it, is worth the challenge of all our human endeavor.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
