Epic age limit

[Bikalot]

Everyone under 21 is to young. Not that they can't ride it' date=' but it mess up your body. Your body is not developed well enough to handle it if you are younger. Also lack a bit of that mental strenght

Erik is turning 26 later this year. Max Knox is 21 and he had a decent ride, finishing something like 7th overall. But there is a vast difference in the body of a 17/18 old if you compare it with a 21 year old. Doing a hard 7 hours every day for 8 days when you're only 18 can't be good. You might manage, but there will be physical and mental side-effects afterwards, methinks. I reckon 20 years is a good age for your first one (although 21 or 22 will be better) - Jacques and Jaco from Neotel did it last year when they were 20, and they seemed to be fine and doing well, but keep in mind they are some of the strongest roadies in the country, i.e. way above the average 20 year old.

 

Hopefully I'll do my first one next year.

Just my opinions.
