This page should be speedily deleted because... this "article" (if one can even call it that) is nothing short of ridiculous. It cites zero sources (which was first pointed out almost 12 years ago yet no one has taken action), it is an orphan, it doesn't follow basic punctuation, capitalization, or grammar rules in any way, and it is not written in "encyclopedic tone" AT ALL. Not to mention that the "official website" the creator put at the bottom of this page does not exist (404). Plus, searches on Google, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, & several other search engines turned up absolutely nothing about any "Giants Challenge" biking competitions, let alone one in S. Africa., besides this Wiki page; quite frankly, it's sort of embarrassing and slightly worrying (in my opinion) that a bogus "article" like this has lasted so long without being spotted. Feel free to discuss and please possibly consider for SPEEDY DELETION!

This is not a hoax. I have no idea of its notability (way outside my knowledge), but I found lots of mentions in biking blogs and tourist sites, though it seems to have ended in 2015.
I’ll list some of the websites here; they can maybe lead to some good citations for the article.
It could simply be an ELABORATE hoax. And even if it is/wasact real (which I doubt), how the hell is it notable enough to have its own article if it's literally almost nowhere to be found online?
It follows, in my mind, that histrionic PRODs don't cut it. "Plus, searches on Google, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, & several other search engines turned up absolutely nothing about any "Giants Challenge" biking competitions, let alone one in S. Africa" is
demonstrably nonsense on stilts. --
