Epic Insider: Intervals, injuries and the start of my Cape Epic

[Matt]

It's just another stage race I was telling myself. A few more people, cameras and flashy lights, but nothing fundamentally different from what I have done. But the Cape Epic is not just another race. It has acquired a certain reputation. It has something special and has become a sort of mountain bike acid test. When most non-cyclists hear you ride a bike it's usually followed by an 'oh, have you done the epic' or 'the argus' or both - as if they're on the same playing field.
