For the first time, American-based team Trek / VW is sending racers to the internationally reknown Cape Epic mountain bike race in South Africa from March 28 to April 5, 2008. Two men and two women, all four accomplished in various off-road racing disciplines, come together to take on some of the toughest stage racers world-wide. Chris Eatough, who dominates the American 100 mile and 24-hour endurance scene, has partnered with World Cup racer and US Olympic Team contender Jeremiah Bishop while Xterra Off-Road regular Jenny Smith teams up with Sue Haywood, the winner of El Reto Guatemala, TransRockies, and La Ruta de los Conquistadores.
The BC Bike Race returns to British Columbia, Canada, for its second annual running from June 28 to July 4, 2008. The popular multi-day mountain bike stage race uses the two-person team format and boasts a large amount of singletrack through the rugged, Canadian backcountry. Follow the adventures day by day from the vantage point of four racers on two teams including last year's winners Chris Eatough and Jeff Schalk (Trek / VW) and first-time competitors Jason Berry and Jon Posner (GFK Racing). Schalk has been dominating the American 100 miler scene while Eatough is a proven champion at both 100 milers and 24 hours races. Film-maker Jason Berry and Jon Posner are long-time endurance enthusiasts and also two of the men behind the movie 24 Solo, which documented Eatough's bid for a seventh 24 hour World Championship Solo title.
Racing for seven years as pro mountain biker, 36-year-old Nat Ross' name is synonomous with endurance racing, and he is a master at 24-hour solo races. The super-chill Ross hails from Colorado and knows how to go the distance, day or night. A winner 24 Hours of Moab in 2004 and 2006, he has been a member of the Subaru Gary Fisher team longer than any other racer.
27-year-old mountain bike racer Nick Martin (Trek VW) gave up everything three years ago to turn pro and since then, he's been climbing his way up the ladder. He specializes in cross country and endurance off-road events. The Boulder, Colorado, resident aims for a breakthrough year in 2007. In his sights are top 10 finishes at individual races and the overall in the US National Mountain Bike Series (NMBS).
Swiss endurance racer Myriam Saugy documents her training for the Cape Epic mountain bike race to be held in South Africa from March 24 - 31, 2007. She set a goal of participating in the Cape Epic off road stage race two years ago. She rides for Team Texner BMC and is a member of the Swiss endurance national team. Saugy races as an amateur; she is also pursuing a teaching degree in history and geography.
Downhill and cross-country racer, graphic designer and model, Australian mountain biker Niki Gudex is nothing if not versatile. Riding in 2004 for Intense Cycles' new cross-country team, Niki will be concentrating on the NORBA cross-country series, North American World Cup races and of course the Australian series and championships, though she will still ride a few downhills too. Follow her adventures as she crosses over from gravity to heart, legs and lungs in her exclusive diary on Cyclingnews. Josh Fleming diary (2004 - 2005)Team Cyclingnews rider Josh Fleming divides his time between the road and the dirt and writes up his adventures for the Team Cyclingnews diary. Local results archive |
