The race covered 740km in 7 days over extremely rugged, rocky and sandy terrain.
Over the seven race days and the one prologue day, the course involved climbing a total of 16000 vertical metres!
As great as the race was, it did not come without its challenges.
The pair suffered a few mechanical issues as well as illness.
But even during the difficult times, they kept going with determination to complete the race, knowing that they were doing it for charity.
They managed to raise an incredible R45 000 for the “Dream an’ Do” Foundation charity.
The Absa Cape Epic is the most televised mountain bike race in the world with 27 countries being represented in the event.
The race generated R300 million for the Western Cape economy.
Rhoan Abbott and Gary Middleton would like to thank everyone for their amazing support.
