I have come to the slow realisation that I’m never going to get that race report out… just too much shit happening work-wise, so no time to do it. And by now I can’t remember half of it anyways (they say the mind is the first thing to go ). Not sure what’s happening with the official race photos - the Cape Epic crew are really quiet about it.

Guess we’re a bit slow at the keyboard, ‘cos the ‘05 entries came and went in 5 hours. So at this point we are not competitors for next year. Feeling rather depressed about this on the one hand, and mildly relieved on the other hand knowing that I haven’t spent over R5000 entering, and am not about to incur thousands more in costs to get me and my bike ready again. But mostly rather depressed. Oh well, maybe we get in as a late substitute?
