The Absa Cape Epic is one of the largest and most demanding mountain bike races in the world. Starting on the 27^th March, Richard and Robin will join some 1,200 other riders in the 8-day race around the Southern Cape Area of South Africa. Covering 800km and involving 15000m of climbing, the race is known as the Tour de France of mountain biking, with world champions, professional riders and keen amateur competitors pushing themselves to complete the course in the best possible time. The route is characterised by demanding gravel paths, strenuous rocky inclines, and steep down-hill runs as it winds through magnificent river crossings and forested single tracks.

This is a huge personal commitment for both ourselves and our families. We have already completed several months of rigorous training and we’re looking forward to continuing the efforts as we head towards the start line.
