I entered the Absa Cape Epic...
Cause it is the best organized and well run stage race out there, also the hardest! (But of course the least technical)
Best Results:
2006 Trans Wales - placed 27th in the team category.
2007 Cape Epic, Trans Alp, Trans Scotland and Trans Rockies all in one year. Best result - 35th mens team in the Rockies.
