I have not done this race for a few years now and have no intention of going to do it again. So I don't get excited about the route reveal and would certainly not attend the launch function.

 

I will look at the route profiles and destination towns closer to the race for interest sake in the same way that I look at other big stage races in RSA.

 

Is there still the hype and buzz for other riders?

The Cape Epic is so very same old,same old and is likely to become boring and result in less repeat riders as the years roll by, over the same routes.

 

Time for Epic to start travelling, for the Epic Journey to hit the trails. Depart from Lourensford, say goodbye and start travelling up the coast to Durbs and then on to the Mpumalanga region. Make this a multi-year year Journey, ending in Cape Town for the 20th anniversary.

That will be way to expensive and difficult for the celebs and exarro .The entry fee will go to > R100k for the profits to remain the same .Maybe R95k then the riders have to make their own breakfast
