2022 ABSA Cape Epic Stage 4 – Watch LIVE

2022 ABSA Cape Epic Stage 4 – Watch LIVE

4th Stage: Greyton – Greyton. Distance: 82 km. Climbing: 1650m

The second day on the trails of Greyton wastes no time in introducing the teams to the region’s
spectacular trails. A district road start provides a quick warm-up before the dual tracks into the mountains above Genadendal spread the field for the trails to come. The mission station’s singletracks are raw and rugged, requiring absolute focus at all times. Luislang, before Greyton, and Mad Dog, after, are free flowing. Bakenskop, meanwhile, is not. A mountain biker’s mountain bike trail, worthy of entering Absa Cape Epic folklore, Bakenskop is a 9-kilometre-long ascent, ridgeline traverse and descent; all on shale singletrack. After the thrills of Bakenskop, the trail heads uphill once more, ascending the UFO climb before a last singletrack descent returns the teams to the Riviersonderend Valley floor and the grind back to the Elandskloof race village for the final time.

OG Ride and Shine Shirt

Our classic Ride and Shine t-shirt is back.

Amanda originally designed this image for our coffee, and it was so good we had to put it on a shirt.

Now available in a range of colours, or you can still go for ‘Mocha’ for a true throwback to this design’s origins.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a print on demand item, meaning that dispatch is expected to take 7 working days. 

This shirt is a very relaxed fit. If you want an oversized down-with-the-kids look, go for your usual size. Otherwise, please refer to the size guide in the description and be prepared to size down 1-2 sizes from usual.

Singletrack Owner/Publisher

What Mark doesn’t know about social media isn’t worth knowing and his ability to balance “The Stack” is bested only by his agility on a snowboard. Graphs are what gets his engine revving, at least they would if his car wasn’t electric, and data is what you’ll find him poring over in the office. Mark enjoys good whisky, sci-fi and the latest Apple gadget, he is also the best boss in the world (Yes, he is paying me to write this).
