From the majestic slopes of Table Mountain to the magnificence of the Grand Finale at Val de Vie Estate with a manic time trial in between – the 2018 Absa Cape Epic route has been created to be balanced and bold.
In a world first for sporting events, the Absa Cape Epic will include a mountain biker riding with the pro peloton who will deliver 360-degree immersive video during the 8-day stage race when it takes place in the Western Cape in March 2016.
Faced with increasing costs due to the decline of the rand and the substantial growth of the event, the Absa Cape Epic will introduce a US dollar-based entry fee for foreign entrants from 2017.
There are ways of enjoying the Absa Cape Epic that don’t involve blood, sweat and tears (or that deadly cycling combination of mud, wet and gears). And you can even do so from the safety of your office … or the comfort of your couch.
The sixteenth edition of the Untamed African Mountain Bike Race boasts an exceptional elite field filled with World, National and Continental champions
