I entered the Absa Cape Epic...
Why not? It is one of those "must do" events that crosses your life. I have completed 2 so far (2007 and 2009) and this is my "Amabubezi" ride...!

Best Results:
Way back when MTB was in its infancy I came 3rd at the SA cross-country champs in Sedgefield and had Diamond Back and Wheeler sponsorships.
