I'm guessing, this year was 82K and some change per team.....

Volunteering is less fun for some, more fun for others. Depending on the team you are on I guess. I was on the Pro Tech team, and it was a jol. Nice team, and a great job! That said, I wouldn't do it again for the entry. There are entries going "cheap" now, so if you train hard and can go at the drop of a hat, entries become available. Also, have your ~85k ready. You need to pay for the entry by the end of April (if they do what they did last year).

Whahahaha!!! Kudos to the brother for taking out some skinnies!

Haha, give that man a Bells!

Iron/hot/strike ????

I suspect the reading has been done already, it's the response I'm interested in. I suspect some damage control is being planned as we speak. Something along the lines of "we promise to take your concerns into consideration for future events" or "The team responsible for the water tables will get a stern talking to" or "an unhappy President Jacob Zuma says his critics were “unfair” to depict him as “corrupt” regarding spending on security upgrades at his private Nkandla homestead". Perhaps Mac can help out a little here??

They had the time and energy to comment on Twitter, how about doing the same on South Africa's largest cycling website??

How about we pay AFTER the event... That would get their arses into a different gear all together.....

So no response from the organisers... @Tim_Fair???

#water was a problem from the word go, we were on the ultra, so the first(ish) riders to go through, and even then it was finished. There was a MOERSE tank 500 m up the road though, why not put the h2o point there

This is a really cool approach. One or two comments though: What can we reasonably expect on the races then? Should Fritz not drop the entry fee (Big Man Forbid!) and call it a self supported race. Have you tested yourself for typhoid after those "cool downs"? You need to do some cadence work... 58km/h (even on 2x10) is unforgivable! You should get closer to 65-70km/h

SOME results are on LT, they only have them up to ~8hours for the ultra... Needless to say... My bum hurts today!

Nice organising with the water at the 3rd waterpoint... ???? Not so cool not getting any when there is still 70km to go...

Hope you've got wheels in stock the week after Fritz!

Thanks Kandui! I suspect this advice just saved me some cash! I'll get you a beer at the end
