Almost 1 month since the Absa Cape Epic
It's been a month since the finish of the 2012 Absa Cape Epic and reflecting back on this year's Epic we are so proud of all the riders and support crew that assisted us with making the Cape Epic a great success. This year we took home 2 of the Absa Cape Epic jerseys, the overall Mens Winner's by Christoph Sauser and Burry Stander, and also the Best Development Team by Sipho Mandolo and Azukile Simayile. In addition we had an overwhelming response to songo.info from supporters and fans right across the world! We couldn't have asked for more!

Wrap up of the 2012 Absa Cape Epic
The 2012 Absa Cape Epic was undoubtably one of the most grueling Epic's. It was not only the challenges that Dr Evil conjured up for the riders but the collaboration with Mother Nature who sent hectic weather conditions that made it so tough. Amidst absurd weather conditions and trecherous terrain the songo riders thrived and excelled, coming out on top to claim overall victory in the Cape Epic.

Stage 6 of the 2012 Absa Cape Epic
It was a exciting day on the Absa Cape Epic as the riders greeted the chilly morning but at least the skies were clear and held the prospect of a warmer day. It was a day to be dominated by the all South African team of David George and Kevin Evans.

Stage 5 of the Absa Cape Epic
The Absa Cape Epic is known for it's "epic" days but I don't think any of the riders had any idea that "Dr Evil" and "The WeatherMan" were in cohoots today and conjuring up the most brutal day for the riders. There is not one rider that didn't have to dig deep and find deep seated courage to brave the elements and get through the course.

Stage 4 of the 2012 Absa Cape Epic
To think we thought yesterday was the hard day on the Absa Cape Epic just shows you that you never can tell exactly what is in store for you. For the greater part of the field today was a really tough day battling all sorts of challenges from seriously sandy tracks to rocky descent and almost gale force winds whipping up serious dust storms.

Stage 3 of the 2012 Absa Cape Epic
I think there is many a rider that is relieved that Stage 3 of the Absa Cape Epic is behind them.Today was a grueling day and the blistering heat that has ensued for the last 3 days offered no respite today. The songo teams stayed strong, relaxed and consistent, really showing their true talent and experience as they tackled the stage and all challenges that were in store for them.

It was a good day for the songo teams as they proudly brought home outstanding results, lead by Christoph and Burry winning the first stage of the Cape Epic.
