This was more unjustified than the epic's price tag ????

The friendship was doomed to fail from the beginning.

You are from JHB and I am from CT ...... besides the distance, you may even be into road cycling ... it would be better to just move on now before things get uncomfortable when we start talking about white shoes or long socks, or some other type of roadie talk.

Simple - if it's too expensive, don't do it.

But expecting others to justify what and how they spend their own money... well that smacks of other issues.

*read in Comic Sans font... ie. tongue-in-cheek*

• Are you a middle-to-upper class working professional in your mid 40's?
• Have your boardroom-buddies stopped playing golf with you to take up mountain biking?
• Have your neglected golf clubs left a void in your estate mansion garage, next to your 2 German SUVs?

 

Well, have I got the solution for you!

It's called the Cape Epic!

Not only does this race give one massive bragging rights around any braai, it also helps you re-connect with your boardroom buddies, and gift you with exclusive branded merch to wear every-time you walk into the LBS.

Let's not forget the automatic justification to spend a R100k+ on a bike, because let's face it, no one will take you seriously if you do the Epic on a fiets that costs less than your entry!

Witht the AK you get 15 that go by quick but its an insane experience.

Not so sure that having done a Cape Epic puts you in an exclusive club … rarely that I see a visiting rider sitting at one of our coffee shops not wearing an Epic buff . Or perhaps I missed the sale.

That is different, and he only does it to confuse his competition.

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.

Expand  

incorrect. are you new here?

@rouxtjie = has a rule that you need 1000 posts first to be taken seriously as a seller

@Rouxenator = oke who puts his life in danger riding tyres down to the wire, and then another 1000km for good measure..
