I was thinking of a race report but Oupa Gert said it all in a few sentences !! I had the pleasure to speak to a dude that did most stage races around the world (Epic, Rocky , Alphs ) and he said there is nothing else that comes close to this race . And not just only the trails but the organization , villages , food , bla bla bla . I am already saving for next years event .
