Rata Del Spruit Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 They will also take the step to only allow 'real' mountain bikers. Credentials to verified by hubbers at the Spruit or Tokai, no more of this Euro Pro easy route stuff. Can't they save themselves the effort and merely measure the wheel size?
Tumbleweed Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 More leaks from Vermaak's office. There'll be the biggest single KOM prize for the first rider atop the Moses Mabhida Stadium's bridge.
dev null Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Come to think of it. Are there any decent killer MTB stage races hosted ONLY in KZN? I have seen some really rof small climbs on the South Coast.

Sharkie 2 Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Won't happen KZN have the Marathon World Champs this year and the XCO world cup why the Epic as well. April fools joke
dev null Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Sani2C? Thanks. I thought it was sort of Lesotho and KZN.
Skubarra Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 It's actually a great idea... There really is only so many variations of the routes you can do around Cape Town Caerus 1
porqui Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 The ACE (Absa Cape Epic) will now also be known as the ANC (Absa Natal Cycle) Tumbleweed and Shepherd 2
ichops Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 According to a good friend of mine who is well connected with Kevin Vermaak, founder and director of the ABSA Cape Epic, the 2016 version of the event is under extreme pressure from the Minister of Sport Fikile Mbalula to move to the rural KZN Midlands from 2016 for a period of five years. According to ANC National Government, such has been the success of the event in promoting the country and specifically the DA lead Western Cape, that it views a rotational strategy around the nine provinces as a major catalyst to stimulate equitable tourism across the country. It seems the decision has already been taken in principle for KZN to be the next host province, and that Glen Haw of Sani2C fame will be responsible for planning the route. Reliable insiders have said that Farmer Glen's entrance fee for this year's Cape Epic event was paid for by a prominent businessman from KZN with ANC connections, with the specific objective of allowing him to experience the toughness of the route and to prepare a KZN route which isn't perceived as getting easier. This will be interesting to follow! Wonder if they'll insist on using or avoiding Nkandla as one of the stop over venues?Another April Fools joke - not even funny !
Tumbleweed Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Thanks. I thought it was sort of Lesotho and KZN. Underberg is fairly close to Lesotho. Edited April 1, 2014 by Tumbleweed
Tumbleweed Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Of course, there's one big downside to all this…how many times Impi will be played.
Hennie VR Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Wats volgende, kota ryers? Cape Epic already have those. They even have their own special jersey.

Caerus Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Maybe the Sani2C needs to up its game a bit to come in line with what the Epic is doing?
