Mark Wynn and Greg Mook Conquer The Cape Epic Bike Marathon

The Cape Epic is one of the world’s hardest mountain bike marathons. The race covers 722km across some seriously steep mountains over the course of eight consecutive days of mountain biking.

"The 14,635m climbing that we’ll need to complete during the week – not far short of cycling up (and down) Mount Everest TWICE !!!"

Epic hardly describes the last eight days. From the infamous railway line on day 1 followed by two days of blistering heat in the 40s which eventually caused Mark to lie down for a while. Then 5 increasingly solid days fir Pedal Inc, Team 317. Our overall time placed us around 80 out of 126 masters teams and 375/600 starting teams. A result that we're very proud of but a demonstration of the quality of the riders and the sheer grit and determination I'd so many people riding this week.
