Only 1 day to go before the ABSA Cape Epic kicks off on Sunday! We’d like to send Team Steel Challenge the very best of luck and a whole lotta grit – for what they are attempting to achieve is nothing short of extraordinary! Max β€˜Waxhead’ Menzies and Fernell β€˜Fykz’ Regue hope to become the first team ever to tame the Epic on two fully rigid, single-speed steel bikes.
Max and Fykz are riding under the banners of both the Cape Leopard Trust and McGregor Young Warriors & Angels Mountain Biking Academy/Club (part of Breede Centre). These are two fantastic causes and both need your support – any donations for the Epic will be divided between the two. Please get in touch via clt@capeleopard.org.za or myw@breedecentre.co.za
