Morne Veer Posted December 17, 2019 Share ....talking about training, I have one more tip for the newbies to this event. Start going to the casino and sit around the poker tables..... .....do not play obviously, but just sit and observe those folk with the good hands, trying to bluff the others ......this should help come you come Feb, when you are dealing with the ooms at the water tables, when they tell you the climbing is almost done !!

milky4130 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Anyone doing the Rapha 500 challenge this year? Seems like my calendar has opened for the 1st time in ages to be able to complete it this year, I'll just be sure to add some climbing in there as well.

WaldoZ Posted December 21, 2019 Share I’m gonna try, but traveling at least one of the days so that will have to count as my rest day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morne Veer Posted December 22, 2019 Share I’m gonna try, but traveling at least one of the days so that will have to count as my rest day. t is gonna be a tricky one as I leave for a week break (Without a bike), on Sat - think 150 kms over three days on my beloved dikwiel might leave to instant divorce ! and eina boude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky4130 Posted December 23, 2019 Share I’m gonna try, but traveling at least one of the days so that will have to count as my rest day.Nothing wrong with clocking 200kms in one day, if anything is to come of it, then at least you'll have sufficient endurance for the Imbuko Challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twaatie Posted December 28, 2019 Share R650 [emoji44] Why the massive increase?This was an epic challenge this year (2019). What a great route. But ... Entry fee was R375 last year. This year its R650 [emoji107] Because you always pay more to ride on cape epic routes [emoji6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar1 Posted December 30, 2019 Share I'm sure the Epic the main reason for the price increase... That said this event was probably my highlight of 2019 (as far as events i entered) so will def be back next year again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
