Surviving the 94.7 Cycle Challenge

The 94.7 Cycle Challenge is known as one of the best annual cycle events on the calendar, and so it comes as no surprise that this race has proudly established itself as the world's second-largest timed cycle race, after the Cape Argus Cycle Race. This year's event lived up to its reputation as thousands of participants and myself took to the streets of Johannesburg, which were closed just for us, to conquer the 94.7 km ride that took us into the heart of the CBD and surrounding highways. This was the third time that I'd competed and was amazed at how this event has grown, in terms of the number of riders and spectators, over the years.
