That's great, and the price !!! we'll never see it again. Also your price is so much better than ours. See you there. Lets train.

Hard to tell, partly due, to the current restriction which means the lost of 100 spots. I know of 10 registered team all volunteers or people that got the invite. 

I don't see any reason to lie.

I have an invite but it's quite to find a partner before cutoff on Monday

69k

Yeah for 69k still 1k dollars cheaper right now. Well maybe you'll find someone there. 

[WDL]

With a 75% discount.....can not leave it! I'm all in and paid.

Hoop net nie daar is weer 'n drol in die drinkwater nie...  Happy training!!

[Red Bird]

All in as well. Got an entry end of January. At least I can train properly this time and build up strong team dynamics. Been coached in cross-country for 18 months now, but stage racing is a little bit different. Didn’t know my partner that well by March yet. We have same pace and goal - to enjoy the adventure - but we still need to work on personality differences. More time together on the bike.

No thanks

[Christie]

People are optimistic about the Epic happening next year. Is there a "money back if cancelled" clause?

I hope it does happen, but putting money down looks like a gamble imo.

Yes, it is a gamble. However we will get 100% transfer of entry and extras to 2022 if Epic is cancelled again

I met my first Epic partner in January 2005 when the race was forst wek in April. I didn't have a mtb  yet either. He was also foreign. 

we go talong just fine. No need for all the partner gelling crap. It's not a marriage, just a biek and two people have to have the same agenda. i.e to finish. We had a blast, a real proper blast. Don't overthink it.

I've seen marriages and best friends break up at the Epic. Peeps spend far too much time worrying about the relationship than their own fitness and mental preparedness.
