Who's coming with me ?

I am not sure how many people out there have any knowledge of the Cape Odyssey, most of you know I am Cape Epic obsessed but I have a new dream. The Cape Odyssey.

The Odyssey is basically a trail run up and in and around the beautiful mountains which lie in the Western Cape. This years race began in Hermanus onto Kleinmond then Paul Cluver in Elgin onto Grabouw CC from there to Franschoek and finished in Boschendal. A total of 202km in 5 very tough days.

I was fortunate enough to watch some of the days and witnessed first hand what some of these people go through. The general day involves anything from freezing temperatures to around 30 degrees and the weather is only one part of it. Mental and physical fitness are musts and a pretty tough pair of legs and feet. I was personally a little freaked out by the state of people's feet but I suppose on the Epic no one runs around showing off their arses- Thank God.

I have made a pact with Quayle's Ale's and whoever else is keen. I know Beef has signed up and we need to chat to Chukka, another who has the potential. Anyone else is welcome.

The winners ran the race in 16hrs 47 min 51 seconds that's pretty fast. They did look like racing snakes who couldn't have weighed more than a Boomslang. But shit that's good going. Mark Fish was another who confounded critics and plodded home every day come. The vibe is very cool and its rad to see another sporting event take off in the Cape. Back markers were clocking around 30 hrs on the pins for your information.

On a final note if anyone out there knows of an Epic ticket going please tell me...please !!!
