    Tent life is an interesting thing. For seven nights and parts of the day your domain is roughly a 1.2x2m nylon cave. Space enough for a mattress, epic kit bag and a small 'general' area to house anything you want easy access to. It only takes one tented multiday event to understand the ease with which chaos can unfold if you don't have some kind of system. Pre-packed kit in separate ziplock bags, already portioned energy drink mix, daily food, recovery drinks, spares, toiletries. The list goes on. Your life off-bike becomes ruled by a series of little plastic bags. Click here to view the article

    Robert Engelbrecht and Antoinette Harding are the Absa Cape Epic’s heartbreakers in chief – although they prefer to think of themselves as the people working behind the scenes to make sure all’s fair in dirt and singletrack.

    It's just another stage race I was telling myself. A few more people, cameras and flashy lights, but nothing fundamentally different from what I have done. But the Cape Epic is not just another race. It has acquired a certain reputation. It has something special and has become a sort of mountain bike acid test. When most non-cyclists hear you ride a bike it's usually followed by an 'oh, have you done the epic' or 'the argus' or both - as if they're on the same playing field. Click here to view the article
