Former Spanish footballer Luis Enrique Mart\u00ednez Garc\u00eda has confirmed that he will be participating in the 2013 Absa Cape Epic.<\/p>\n
The 10th editon, which takes mountain bikers over a distance of 698km with more than 15 000m of climbing, starts at Meerendal in Durbanville on March 17.<\/p>\n
Currently working as a coach, Enrique\u2019s usual position was right or attacking midfielder, but he was known for his versatility.<\/p>\n
His career spanned 15 years and he represented Real Sporting Gijon, Real Madrid and Barcelona, appearing in more than 500 official games and scoring more than 100 goals.<\/p>\n
Enrique played for Spain in three Fifa World Cups and accumulated 62 caps. He was also a member of the gold-winning squad at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d heard of the Absa Cape Epic many times and waited for the right moment to enter,\u201d said Enrique.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s an amazing event and really look forward to participating. I\u2019ll be riding with Juan Carlos Unzue Labiano of Spain.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe almost never train together. Initially I trained three days a week, but now it\u2019s four to five times.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adventure enthusiasts not participating in the Absa Cape Epic are invited to enter the Liqui Fruit Cape Times Vineyard Races, which consist of the Vineyard Ride and Vineyard Run.<\/p>\n
