Danie and Evert are riding very strong! They climb more than 20 places in the overall standing and are about to enter the top 100.

Starting today’s route at 7:00am in Oudtshoorn, the riders were almost immediately faced with fast jeep track through arid, ostrich-filled plains, a mild start to the toughest climbing day of the 2007 event.

After arguably the hardest start to the Absa Cape Epic ever, day four is a relatively easier rest day, but still holds its own challenges. The roll out of Ladismith is on tar for 6km, before the riders turn right and head onto farm roads of the area. Wide open roads, short climbs and a few technical obstacles will give the Epic entrants time to regroup and recuperate, before entering the Leopard Rock game reserve, where sandy jeep tracks and perplexed wildlife await. Then it is onto more rocky terrain for the final 25km into Barrydale.
