I don't think that is a good way to look at it. In earlier days it was more affordable and therefore had a better class of riders. So a better finish rate. The people who can afford it now are not the same type of rider. They have money not riding skills. Buying a sworks won't make you finish.

I always look how fast the winning time is. To me that represents if it is getting easier or harder. After every year the people swear that it was the hardest. Just my 2c!

😶🤣 yeah. I used to do my own repairs so I had stuff with me. Not a fan of mechanics at races. Amazing at the time you would give half a leg not to be there but when you finished you absolutely loved it. 🤣

Gonna need more than that! Time frame? Start/end destination. Wild camp or accommodation. I can advise on Western Cape and Northern Cape.

My last epic was 2014. I got an invite a week before. So nothing new happened, we came 159 I think, at that time i was riding 5 times a week for about an hour per ride. I wouldn't do it now. I don't ride anywhere near as much and I am just gone 50. Every single scenario is different. There is no one size fits all here.

Well the Lourensford pass is 15K alone.

23 hours 12 minutes for the leaders. Was this the fastest epic ever?

Unless you are a racing snake I would probably change that stem and handlebar combo. From where I am looking it looks mighty aggressive.

I would say off to the naughty corner but i see you live in KZN. So as you were. 🫠

He is using an ebike probably similar to our lady friend the other day to "see what it is like at the sharp end" 🫠🤣

I would presume Toyota loans them the vehicles. Land Rover used to be involved a while back. I struggle to see how they would see a valued return on this. As far as I can remember absa is the one who has stuck with them the longest. Assos was also involved for a bit.

John who? Does he own social media? (Just read up) yes this "John" fella has a lot of answers. Mighty one he are.

Upset me you did not. You post was to the point of where your ignorance and mindless accusations should be taken to task. Your mind is an empty vessel if that is what you are filling it with.

This is close on the worst post I have ever seen on this platform.

When were the photos taken? Bike look the same?

Epic have definitely gone all out with their route this year. Looks like a few days of riding in the northern suburbs. The only thing that is going down is the distance you need to drive home every night.

Why not just use real pedals? Eggbeaters don't need cable ties. And yes... I do have amabubesi status 🤩📸

I went down this road. Saw many springbok and got hungry for biltong. So I rode to the butchery.

Unless you are absolutely committed to this why don't you rather start at Rooiberg lodge or Calitzdorp and go that way. As mentioned Meiringspoort is about the drivers on the day. Personally I probably wouldn't do it.

True story

If permission was granted and at the time you did this, would it be possible to drive this route? Small 4X4.

You are the absolute problem with society. I have so I can do whatever I want. Thank goodness there are not many of you around.

Da Doer is a lekka spot. And if you time it right you can hit a band and full kuir there on a Saturday afternoon. Proper Karoo style.

Sounds like you going round in circles. My right leg is slightly longer than my left due to a crash a while back. I have no issues. Hope you sort it.

If that is your goal then you definitely not asking what type of tyres to ride.
