The route for the 2027 Cape Epic has been released, and while cornering is an essential skill in every form of cycling, this route will demand a high level of control, confidence, and precision.

Riders can expect loose, rugged corners in Ceres and Tulbagh, along with the steep, tight ascending and descending switchbacks of the Cliffhanger in Wellington.

These challenges are not something to leave until race week.

The sooner we start working on your cornering, braking, body position, line choice, and technical climbing and descending skills, the more progress we can make before race day.

There is no time like the present.

Let’s get to work. 🏁

More skills. More speed. More confidence.

Our young racers are testing their skills and pushing their limits every week, taking on every MTB obstacle we can find.

The more capable a rider becomes, the more opportunities they have to find speed, ride challenging terrain with confidence, and gain an edge when it matters most — on race day. 🏁

Is your child passionate about XC mountain biking and hungry to improve?

At Rubber Side Down MTB Skills, we help young racers unlock their potential, build confidence on technical terrain, and develop the skills to get more out of every race while keeping the fun in the sport!

Jana taking on some rough terrain by trusting her balance, her skills, and her bike’s capabilities. 💪🚵‍♀️

Once you’ve successfully ridden something that challenged you, the confidence starts to build. One successful attempt becomes belief, and that belief keeps growing with every challenge you overcome. 🔥
