I entered the Absa Cape Epic...
A few days riding in the beautiful Western Cape has got to be better than sitting in meetings!

Best Results:
Completing the 2010, 2012 and 2015 Epic's and in doing so getting my Amabubesi medal (and swearing I would never do it again every time!)

I entered the Absa Cape Epic...
The main reason is I am doing the Epic it to raise funds for a nominated charity called "Operarion smile" roughly 5 ears ago in 2011, I had most definitely caught the mountain biking bug after completing a few MTB events. I have now really started to become an passionate MTB biker and and have been eyeing the toughest mountain bike race in the world for a while now. It’s was one of my dreams to complete the CAPE EPIC and did so in. 2017, I am back this year to do it with my brother . I see it as pushing myself to my limits and also going on a adventure of a life time with my brother this year in 2019
