#SheUntamed
The stories and updates about the courageous women riding the 2024 Absa Cape Epic.
Ingrid Avidon
Race Number: 167-1
Ingrid is a confused endurance athlete - she can't decide whether she wants to be an ultra runner, ultra cyclist or a long-distance open-water swimmer... so she just does it all.
In the process, she not only encourages other women to get involved - she helps them to do just that.
Along with three friends (two of whom are fellow #SheUntamed riders, Simone Sharpe and Hannele Steyn, she co-founded the Warrior Women initiative to help women on their journey.
This will be Ingrid's third Cape Epic - her first was with her husband... and it was their honeymoon treat!
Carli Cooke
Race number: 178-1
Carli Cooke, team Absa SheUntamed ♥️
SS: Why did you accept this challenge?
CC: “To help shine a light on what women are capable of in mountain biking”.
- You are doing just that, Carli!
And beyond that, your encouragement of others within this community makes a huge impact.
Thank you for your support, friendship and for being a cheerleader for us all.
Thank you for being you!

Sarah Hill
Race number: 70-1
As one of South Africa's leading MTB athletes, Sarah needs no introduction to the Cape Epic community.
Perhaps less known is that she is completing her Masters in Sport and Psychology. Sarah is passionate about helping others both on and off the bike, as a skills and mental coach.
She is also the Head Coach of the #SheUntamed programme and impressively manages to keep the ship afloat and perform as an elite athlete.

Hannele Steyn
Race number: 86-1
Hannele Steyn, the Last Lioness.
We all know she is tough, phenomenally so - she is one of only 3 people to have completed every single Cape Epic (the only female) - but do you know that she is also exceptionally kind, compassionate - and funny too!?
Hannele is a force to be reckoned with on the bike. Off the bike, she is a force of good - she strives to empower others and she goes out of her way to make a difference.
FYI: She also makes the most nutritious and delicious breakfast range called Passion4Wholeness.
This year, she is teaming up with the powerhouse behind USWE South Africa, Janine Muller! ⚡⚡
