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:
“Only mediocrities progress. An artist revolves in a cycle of masterpieces, the first of which is no less perfect than the last.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
