The Midvaal Fast One Cycle Challenge, also called Hyper to Hyper is a single day road cycling race held in South Africa.
The Midvaal Fast One Cycle Challenge consists of 3 routes: 97km, 50km and 28km. The routes extend through low traffic, and lacks complete road closure. As a result, 10 service clubs act as marshals along the routes.
The Pick âÂÂn Pay Hyper to Hyper Cycle Race was first organized in January 1995 by Nigel Southern, an employee at Bedworthpark Hypermarket, and a small committee consisting of members of the Riverside Pedal Pals Cycling Club and staff at the Bedworthpark Hypermarket. Nigel Southern staged the race in honor of a friend who was killed by a vehicle.
The track was a 100 kilometer route starting from the Steeldale Hypermarket in Alberton and finishing at the Bedworthpark Hypermarket in Vanderbijlpark (hence the name, Hyper to Hyper). After the first race, it was decided that the event would be community oriented. Funds raised from the event would be donated to local charities.
In 1997, the Riverside Rotary Club was invited to assist in entry administration and marshaling.
In 2000, the Riverside Rotary Club gathered other nearby rotary clubs to assist with marshaling various sectors around the route.
In 2013, the race was renamed to the Value Logistics Fast One. It was renamed again in 2019 to the Midvaal Fast One Cycle Challenge, which, as of December 22 2022, remains the current name.
