I entered the Absa Cape Epic...
This is my 4th participation to the race, i decided to enter the race again this year because i was amazed by the quality of the organization last year.but , the first we decided to race was during a visit in denmark i was sitting around a table in a chinese restaurant together with my girlfreind (Tanja Gerards) Christophe Desimplaere and Helle Jepsen. Christophe was speaking about his adventure in Australia and his 2 participations in the crocodile trophy. i do not know how it came up, but we have heard about a race in south africa and we all thought that could be something for us. And here we came 12 kg lighter....
Best Results:
2nd in the international MTB race of Lanzarote
