I entered the Absa Cape Epic...
This time so that my cousin could have a cycling buddy..., he then injured himself at the Attakwas so now I have teamed up with Bonny Swanepoel

Best Results:
Surviving the rain day at the 2012 Cape Epic, this remains true but I think doing the Attakwas each January after limited training in the 7 weeks prior due to work commitments!

I entered the Absa Cape Epic...
I did my first two in 2012 and 2013 and have always wanted to come back for more. So I'm here to chaperone Ryann "Tuckbox" Dean through his first time

Best Results:
I've done two Epics to date, but my highlight would have to be coming in the top 35 of the Wines 2 Whales race in 2015. My new bike is also a highlight
