The Absa Cape Epic - 800km long and 15000m of vertical ascent in 8 days. Love it or hate it, its the ultimate challenge. Believe it or not there are races longer and harder but there is only one Epic.
If you don't think you can do it, then you are not alone because for the majority of first timers it seems like an insurmountable challenge. But some how you manage to do it, pedal stroke by pedal stroke, kilometre by kilometre, water point by water point, day by day, eventually finish PA becomes a booming voice and sea of smiling faces as you cross the line and wonder how you got there.
You may hate the entrance price but you will love the vibe, you may hate Dr Evil but you will love the route, your family may hate you for all the training, but they will love you for finishing. No matter how you feel you can't miss it or deny it.
Last week they announced the 2011 route and so the challenge has been set, its up to you to make it happen.
