The guys have entertained interview after interview and been swept from one media event to the next. When you're a front runner in the most televised mountain bike race on earth, sponsors can get some serious bang for their bucks. What a great way to start the racing season!
In between interviews and press conferences, Jeremiah and Chris were escorted to an animal reserve where orphaned and injured African elephants are raised or rescued. Some of the media crews needed additional images and film to use throughout the race's coverage, and seeing the guys feeding a baby elephant is sure going to be an awesome. (By the way, this is extra amusing to me because I watch a segment on Myth Busters just yesterday about how elephants are scared of mice... myth confirmed!)
I'm really excited for the racing to begin. That is when I know that everything has come together and the guys can to what they do best. It is an amazing amount of logistics and planning that have gotten the Trek VW team to where they are right now.
The online coverage for Cape Epic is going to be extensive. I've tried to compile some of the most pertinent links on the News page (http://www.jeremiahbishop.com/messages/index.htm). Jeremiah will check in when the internet allows.
Have fun on your adventures this weekend!
