  1. The slackers!! I think the flannel and singlespeed inspired the riders too much!!
  2. logistics, vs trail building and maintenance . Like its said, you dont hear complaints from the guys that did it . Most of them are back this year and more. Somethings don't make sense on paper but once you have done the event it will make sense.
  3. Did I mention awesome single track. The 1st day has one of the most awesome descents in the cape "livingstone and stanley!
  4. Cape epic currently costs about R5300 per day. Considering you have a massive event, a lot op jeep track Yes it is shorter, but a lot more singletrack that is privately built, owned and maintained. Gourmet catering from the friday night to sunday lunch. A lot of single track. Limited to 200 riders No getting stuck in single track thats only open twice a year. Awesome vibe where its not only about the pros
  5. Like the guy that was ahead of a lot of people on the start, but was pushing up the first climb?
  6. I think the problem with a longer start loop is people's mentality. The people that you get stuck behind isn't necessarily unfit. Its a lack of skill. Longer start loop will still allow the GLSR (great lesser skilled rider) to be first into the single track ( different issue with the 37km overlapping the 63km. No I am relatively fit , yet I would like to think my skill exceeds my fitness. And most of the people I caught was on single skill not due to the other riders lack of fitness.
