We have allocated resources (personal), because this rare opportunity, so if you sponsor the team you will get part of the cape epic experience, the cape epic along is worth all the sponsorship money. Who races the Cape Epic; people from all walks of life, celebrities, sport heroes, Olympians, husband and wife teams, and most professional mountain bike racers. Alain Prost famous formula one racer car driver raced the 2013 edition. The appeal of the race is universal, lots of drama, sacrifice and adventure to me is life. Our team is comprised of two U23 racers, nationally ranked. With pan American mountain bike experience, as well as world cup. They are going to race, not to sight see, they are looking for exposure that can get them to the professional level. They will be prepared and well equipped. The team will be one of the few teams to ever come from the Americas, and the only U23 team to ever go. This fact alone will get us free world wide press, because one of the goals for the race organizer is to get more people from the Americas there. We already have 3 websites (cycling), ready to cover the event from preparation to the actual race. We are looking for a print media still. We are having our first radio show (local) about the race, next week. Please take advantage of the opportunity.
