In March 2024 EF Education-Easypost’s Lachlan Morton and Team AMANI’s Jordan Schleck paired up to ride Cape Epic, the world’s most gruelling MTB stage race. Jordan is one of East Africa's brightest young talents and is representing Team AMANI this season at the Lifetime Grand Prix series in the US, so Cape Epic was the perfect training ground
A boneshaking week of altitude and technical singletrack for the duo, this film captures the suffering, the intensity and the bond they have built. It also gives an insight into the work Jordan, Lachlan and the rest of the Team AMANI squad are doing to push East African cycling to the fore.
