Commenting on the race, Avish described it as one of the most memorable and adrenaline-packed adventures that they have ever completed. “It was an unforgettable experience. Every stage of the race pushed us beyond our comfort zones. The KAP sani2c is so much more than just a mountain bike race – it’s a true test of endurance and sheer determination.
There were many challenging points, but the incredible camaraderie and support along the way motivated us to keep on going. Crossing the finish line in Scottburgh on Saturday alongside my brother was a moment that was incredibly rewarding, especially considering that it was our first time taking on this gruelling yet exhilarating event. We commend the organisers for creating magic through this event and are thankful for the memories that we take with us.”
