Mountain Biking race (Cape Epic) 6:22:56 [5] 114.27 km (17.9 kph)
shoes: Specialized Epic Comp 2006
Stage 1 of the ABSA Cape Epic, once again with Clinton (our 5th). This year the start venue was Diemersfontein Estate in Wellington. Got seeded A-batch which was nice given the technical start. Got off to a good start, racing just behind the first ladies. Hit the first waterpoint over Bain's Pass well and got into a good bunch on the 15km downhill. However I blew at the bottom when we hit sandy roads and went backwards rapidly. Took well over 2hrs to recover and even then didn't go too great. Tough last section into Ceres on some train tracks where we were slowed up by slow riders ahead.82nd open men and 111th overall. Riding stats were Tm 6:17:43, Av 18.1 Mx 60.7
