The ABSA Cape Epic Mountain Biking (MTB) Race - Western Cape, South Africa
There has been a huge increase in people becoming aware of their well being and have taken to a variety of different activities, mountain biking being one of the most popular choices. Seven years ago at the age of 50 I was very overweight and could barley manage a 10 kilometre cycle without having to get off and rest. Now 7 years later and 28 kilograms lighter I am loving the time on my bike on our amazing trails in and out of Cape Town.
If you are wanting to start mountain biking and don’t know where to begin, or how to start; or if you need help being shown appropriate routes for your level of expertise, then please give me a call.
Almost every week there is a race/ride happening with a few major events occurring during the next few months. The first of these will be the Tankwa Trek followed by the ABSA Cape Epic which is a must-go-watch to see the worlds best mountain bikers.
Below is a portfolio of images taken by myself of some of the greats cycling the ABSA Cape Epic, like late Burry Stander,Christoph Sauser, Ariane Kleinhans, Annika Langvad, Robyn de Groot, Urs Huber and Nino Schuter of the Scott Team who is the current Olympic and World Champion gold medalist ; and many more.
