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


Matt

Recommended Posts

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.

Well said! Are you the boys wearing the Hub Tshirt?

That's most likely us. We'll be out in Food Lovers Market kit tomorrow though.

 

How was your ride?

I think that was myself shouting you on near the last few twists and turns of the single track near UCT. I got some footage as well of you guys flying past!

 

Good luck for the rest of the race bud! Looking forward to the rest of the ride reports!
