The 19th Land Rover Magoebaskloof MTB Classic held on Saturday drew more than 370 entries from all over the country.
The popular race is conducted over 20, 40 and 80 km. While competition was tough among the top dogs in each category, the weather reportedly played its part making for an enjoyable albeit challenging ride amid spectacular scenery including the Woodbush Forest reserve, for the rest of the field.
This race serves as a fundraiser for the Rotary Club Haenertsburg and all entry fees go towards local community charity projects.
The 20 km was won by Reuben Middleton (48.47) from Stanford Lake College and Hoërskool Pietersburg rider Simone Oberholzer (01:32.5). Stanfordians Matthew Wilkinson (1:55.5,2) and Annie Gutierrez (2:13.55,4) ruled supreme in the 40 km while honours went to professional rider and NavWorld ambassador Alan Gordon (3:16.13,5) and Janine Muller (4:30.47,2) in the 80 km category.
