I entered the Absa Cape Epic...
This is my third race. After the disappointment of 2017 where we had a major mechanical during the prologue and ran half of it, I had to come back to resolve some unfinished business

Best Results:
After my partner's free wheel body broke on his bike during the Prologue (2017), having a run/push-ride relay for half the prologue and finishing exhausted and sore and then be awarded the ABSA Conquer As One Jersey, was a highlight of teamwork and endurance

Epics Completed: 3

 

I entered the Absa Cape Epic...
To me the Epic is the race that measures it all. I finished my first one with my brother, the second one with my dad and now I have the privilege to pursue my dream of joining the Amabubesi finishers' club.

Best Results:
Getting a few podiums in the national series U/23 and winning a provincial title after breaking my back in 2007. Finishing the 2012 Cape Epic with my brother, finishing the 2016 Cape Epic with my dad and publishing a book that was inspired by the Cape Epic.
