I entered the Absa Cape Epic...
Got the most incredible opportunity to race for Team Land Rover. Didn"t want to miss riding with a good mate in the most iconic mtb race in the world.

Best Results:
Cycling along the pristine Wild Coast of the Transkei. Also traversing along single track across the Chile-Patagonia border in the Andes in an Adventure race I did many years back. Riding 900km unsupported across the Rockies/USA with my adorable Wife and competing in the 4 Islands Mtb Race in Croatia with her too. And of course, riding the Freedom Challenge across South Africa 2011/12/13/17

I entered the Absa Cape Epic...
It's the main event for the palmares of any mountain biker - i was also inspired by Stephen Roche's account of the 2013 event when he said it was the 'toughest cycling event he has ever completed' - that coming from the guy has won the Tour de France!!!!

Best Results:
My two Epics to date, both have had major ups and downs but surprisingly I can only remember the good times!
