2020 Cape Epic Cancelled

Oi oi oi dunno what to say. I'm thankful that I am not the one having to make this call.

Eish

No real choice in light of all of the other cancellations. Prudent thing to do

Any one of these sporting decision is tough, dammed if you do, dammed if you don't.

appropriate decision to make...

well done wester government for taking a lead here...the load on a local health care system with positive tests could be immense

So now is good time to take some riders here out on small tours

As someone who picked up a droplet spread virus at the 24hr race, I'm not going to be throwing any stones here.

This can't have been an easy decision, and my heart bleeds for the riders.

????????

Hope to see full refunds and free entries for 2021 to everyone who entered for 2020.

Tough decision but maybe a bit too late. Hope the riders can do it again in 2021 with their current entries.

Still alot of expenses for the organisers, participants and vendors that can't be recovered easily. 

I hope that Coronavirus realises how hard some people worked to make this race enjoyable for us normal folk that would have followed it with keen interest.

now i have to keeps last years highlights another year

Tough choice but it is the right one. I feel for all those that trained hard, got their bikes sorted and were chomping at the bit to just get going. Saying there's always next year is not going to ease the pain.

Hope to see full refunds and free entries for 2021 to everyone who entered for 2020.

Full refunds AND free entries? Surely full refunds OR free entries?

It is the right call, but I feel for the guys that put in all those hours and cash into preparing for Epic. It's a massive commitment, and regardless of why it was cacelled, I can imagine it must really suck...

As a local MTB I feel so sorry for all the riders who looked forward to this challenge. If you want to discover some of the best local tracks please send me a pm and I will guide you around. ????

Overreacting IMO. The riders should have been asked if they want to ride or not - not make a decision for them. #paybackthemoney

overreacting, hmmm. How do you figure that FdV? Genuinely curious to know the thinking that shaped that perspective.

I think we will only know for sure in six months time if this was the right decision or not.

Hope to see full refunds and free entries for 2021 to everyone who entered for 2020.

From an event that charges volunteers? That money is long gone. Won’t be surprised if they charge everyone a cancellation fee.

If the media circus, rightfully or wrongfully, is anything to go by then COVID 19 will have wiped out the planet by the end of the year.

We really got lucky with the CTCT this year.

Literally missed another cancellation with a week.

Is all Epic Entries sponsored or does individuals take r80k to r100k out of their OWN bank account to do a race?

Asking for a friend

If the decision was entirely up to the Cape Epic the show would have go on but unfortunately there is other role players involved and without their thumbs up there is nothing we can do.
