With this year's Absa Cape Epic Cycle Race around the corner, preparation time for Louis Trichardt cyclists Kombo Bere (26) and Daan Terblanche (23) is running out quickly. However, the duo said they were ready and up for the challenge. As reported earlier, Kombo and Daan received the unique opportunity to compete in this year's Cape Epic, entering as a development team and having their R145,000 entry fee waived by the race organisers. By entering, they became the first development team from the Soutpansberg to compete in the Cape Epic. For both this is also a dream come true as neither of them has done the Cape Epic before.
