1000 posts to get taken seriously here?!! Holy moly, I'll have to up my daily posts! Cant be treated like this for 125 days!

Needs to be taken with a pinch of salt, as that same Rouxtjie also rides his commuter tyres till at least 1000km past it's safe usage mileage point....so it is really subjective.

1000 posts to be taken seriously on the classifieds..... No amount of posts is enough to be taken seriously here. 

Unless you've done the epic. In which case you're obviously already an unbelievably kief legend and your opinion is right on any topic. 

So have you done it???

I thought you read my post about not being able to afford it either and hoping to do it for my 40th... I thought we were friends...

You're too sweet

If I say yes, does it automatically increase my post count?

Unfortunately the answer is no, I am just a boy with a dream to race with the pros like they do on TV

This thread has made me realise one thing. The Cape Epic really is the Mount Everest of mountain biking. 

Someone hears you ride, they ask whether you've done the epic. Someone hears you climb, they ask if you wanna do everest. 

They both lack technical difficulty. 

They boat cost a whole lot more than the fun alternatives. 

They both oversubscribed. 

Neither seems like much fun.

Maybe its jus me but I think A gold medal at DH or XC world champs trumps the Epic , even if you won it 

 

It's as big as people's mouths make it , and at that its still pretty small

I hope I had some influence over your choice of name

As much as I'd love to do the Epic, 120k for a single event is just out my range. Hope everyone who goes has a blast and I'll be supporting on TV.
