deanbean Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Alex Harris is also most likely to win it! Hmmm I wonder if this is more of ah investment for him ;-)USD 10 000.00 puts it out of range for most of the Hubbers I do believe unless sponsored.Would have loved to give a go though.I'd love to see Alex and Martin Dreyer take this on as a team, two hard men.

deanbean Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Cant see him racing his own race...https://themunga.com/who-is-behind-it Wouldn't be cricketI know that he wouldn't. But they would make a good team.
Little Fish Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 It sounds like a race for the really crazy okes, wonder who from the hub is mad enough to sign up.I know exactly who would be crazy enough to do this....in fact he is so crazy that he will do it on a SS.I'm sure once he recovers from the launch last night, he will be out training Entrance fee could be a bit of a hurdle though - yikes!!!We may have to set up a "Hubbers help the Crusher become a millionaire fund"...I'm sure he will share the winnings with us though!
rouxtjie Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 I know that he wouldn't. But they would make a good team.Sure...hardmen of note.
jcza Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 I was at the launch last night. Very professional. Single stage from Bloem to Stellies, Approx 1,000km. Route to be announced day before start. Entry fee - $10,000 per team 1st prize - $750,0002nd prize - $100,0003rd prize - $ 50,000 If you make the cut off (5 days I think) you go into draw for $ 100,000. Would love to do it. Need partner and $ 5,000.
awesme Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 #1 Sure there are more than 1 on theHub mad enough to enter. #2 so it is R10 000 or $10 000, OP wrote R10 000 Dollar. G
the nerd Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 So after doing this race you can then think of training for the tour divide. Which is really the toughest race in the world.

davetapson Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Awesome initiative. Really throwing it out there - and going to redefine the benchmark for tough. Will be interesting to see how guys like Plattos and Sauser will do (if they enter / if they enter as a team ) - they may get their massages and all at the end of the day at the epic, but I'm not sure they are delicate flowers. If they are as hard as the adventure racers tho, remains to be seen. Can't wait. Beginning of December is going to be a write-off!
ChUkKy Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Piss in the park.Ill finish training on the 25km MTB race for 94,7 and then ride my 26" spruit bike to show all you manne how its done. Ive got 5 foot 10 shoes, no Hope brakes, TLD lid and a poodle turd on my back wheel
jcza Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Route will be marked, its not navigation. Winners will be ones that can go without sleep for couple of days while staying upright on bike.
Andrew Steer Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 The guys to look out for on this one are the top Epic boys... but not in the Elite category, the older buggers - tough as nails, diesel power. With this prize money though, who knows who it could attract - I'm sure some there will be some very interesting faces on that start line!
Slowbee Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 heck bugger the $1mil. I would do it just for the heck of it ! I reckon 3 or 4 days depending on the route, will be the record.
