Cape Epic Stage 3 - Tulbagh

Today's 94 km stage took riders in a figure 8 figure around the Witzembourg Valley region.  Mike Hogan finished in just under 5 hours, which would have placed him in 8th place for the stage.  Mike would be in 11th place in the overall Master's category.

Thomas has returned!! After 2 nights spent in the hospital, Thomas is back for more Cape Epic, unfortunately on as a spectator now.

A very enthusiastic crowd of children from the nearby school participated in a soccer match played on the start/finish line while the riders were out racing.  Shout out to Big Tree Foundation for helping out at this school!!

Team Bulls wins the stage AGAIN!! Team Burry Stander - Songo took a wrong turn with 3km to go, leading them a few minutes off course before they realized their mistake.  Unfortunately, this cost them precious minutes, and Team Bulls passed them while they were off course to steal the win.  Team Bulls was surprised to hear of their victory after they crossed the finish line.  A disappointed team Burry Stander - Song crossed the line less than a minute later for second place.
