The stories during the epic and after the epic are not always the same. During the event its all about the pain and suffering but afterwards its about the achievements and the memorable moments as the bad memories fade away and the good times surface. Team OFM had a roller coaster ride in the masters category and you can see how it went from day to day in our race report. We also put together some experience and tips about our experience after returning to the 2012 Epic after a 4 year layoff.
Another interesting report is from first time rider and journalist Max Gebhardt who rode the event in one of the ABSA charity teams with Joel Stransky. Max summarizes the overall mood of Epic 2012 and his experience as a novice very well in his race report article.
Team Plascon Trojans who rode for the wheels4wheels cause did a great job of documenting their experience. Finishing his first Epic as well, Mike kept a daily report of how it was going and the summarised it all at the end with his Top 10 Tips to have a successful and enjoyable epic. There is also a great photo gallery of what the race looks like from a supporters perspective.
Renay Goustra teamed up with former road pro and Tour de France rider Rene Haselbacher. Check out his blog summary of a memorable experience.
This year more than ever it was a race of extremes and it does not matter if you are a pro or a back marker you all follow the same route and come away having had great highs and bad lows.
