Brentjens and Paulissen increase their lead

Stage 6 of the Cape Epic from to Montagu to Villiersdorp was as tough as the previous ones. Many steep climbs and hike-a-bike sections on the 127.3 km course drained the already exhausted Epic teams, who have now ridden almost 750 kilometres since the race started last Saturday

It has taken me five days, to be able to recover enough after a stage, and to write a short story of our trip in the Cape Epic.

The 107.4km fifth stage of the Cape Epic will go into history as the stage of the South African teams. So far the most technical and roughest terrain with sharp stones and thorns turned out to be a nightmare for the international riders, who had to stop over and over again to fix their punctures.

The demanding fourth stage of the Cape Epic had it all: challenging uphills, technical jeep track, and magnificent vistas amongst spectacular fynbos - in short; everything that makes mountain biking so special.

Erlank and White extend their lead

Stage three of the Cape Epic took the epic adventurers from Herbertsdale to Riversdale. Despite a course length of 104km (1435m) it was a relatively short day for the riders which revealed team tactics and gave competitors with road race experience a slight advantage.

Graskop grass indeed!
2005-4-5
I now know why they call it Graskop, I have never ridden on so much grass in my entire life! The Forest to Falls could open up the market for a new range of tyres - dont worry about gravel, mud or sand specific tyres, how about grass specific tyres!
