    Robyn de Groot is a multiple South African marathon champion, with an impressive array of titles under her belt. 2016 was a mixed year for her: a shoulder injury kept her off the bike and forced her to miss Marathon World Champs, where she had been selected to represent South Africa. She was also knocked out of contention for the women’s overall jersey at the 2016 Absa Cape Epic, after her partner Jennie Stenerhag was forced to withdraw due to illness. This year she will be racing the 2017 Absa Cape Epic with German veteran Sabine Spitz, who finished second at last year’s Cape Epic, alongside teammate Yana Belamoina. The two will be riding as Team Ascendis Health, and look set to be strong contenders in the battle for the women’s podium. We asked Robyn some questions about her plans for 2017, hopes for the Absa Cape Epic, her new bike, and the obstacles she faced last year. Click here to view the article

    At first glance Sally Bigham might be taken for the university researcher that she was when the mountain biking bug bit in 2006. But the 1.65m and 52kg Englishwoman has since earned herself the nickname of “Iron Sally” for her extraordinary feats on a mountain bike. These include two wins in the Women’s category at the rugged Absa Cape Epic – in 2011 with South African Karien van Jaarsveld and the following year with Switzerland’s Esther Süss. She and Suss rode together again in 2014, finishing second to the Swiss/Danish combination of Ariane Kleinhans and Annika Langvad. Click here to view the article

And I hope Gunn-Rita and I have a great adventure together.” Click here to view the article
