Just how tough is the Absa Cape Epic? A look at the numbers

[Wyatt Earp]

As a middle of the pack rider my preparation was:-

 

3 hours spinning during the week

2 hour road bike ride on Saturday

4 hours mtb ride on Sunday.

 

That's all the time I could spare. 

I did take strain on the initial long stages but your body adapts very quickly.

You hypocrite, don't come here with your logic .

and its worth every cent......

 

Absolutely. If you have every cent...that is.

So the question is: How do you I sell myself (as mid level mtb rider) to get sponsorhips to do an event like this?!

You need a serious "human interest story" or a bloody good cause to support. Conventional corporates are just not going to throw cash at you or cover your entry so that you can ride in some branded kit and finish 300th.

 

My advise, bite the bullet and fork out the cash - you wont regret it.

there's only one number I look at when considering to enter this race. it starts with a capital R and then i don't bother.

 

 

love following it.

 It always amazes me that people want others to sponsor their leisure activities and how many get it right.
