If you'll be watching the DH World Cup, make a Pinkbike Fantasy League for the fun of it:

Then join our Saffa's mini-league: https://www.pinkbie.com/contest/fantasy/dh/league/?leagueid=24894

Cut off is tomorrow before qualifying, and the race is on Friday.

Sounds like the correct way to deal with an Epic. Did you do the same with the ACE?

no, that doesn't work anymore

Its too premium. No one is that desperate to ride it anylonger

So nice to have a fresh venue - both tracks look challenging. XCC 10 am SA time tomorrow on the UCI streaming app. About R105 pm for the 6 months or so of the season.
