Yup.. Like I mentioned.. R4S gives you the option to donate to Retina.. (Which I will gladly do simply because the give the option) ( as with KFC add hope ). Don't tel me its going to charity!!! How much R5? R10?. Let me decide.. Im not too fuzzed about the Goodie bag. Im more fuzzed about the entry cost vs what I get for it. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

The problem with this is Medical Support. Our entries include emergency medical support. If you go down and have to med evac'ed they will send you the bill. ( I know of someone that had this happen to him) I have no problem paying for events as there are costs involved. But it has to be reasonable. The number collection thing I think is a ploy to get people to buy stuff in store.. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Ja me neither.. got some Tabs in the pack.. but no Chocs in sight. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

I just did that rough calculation for you ???? Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

ASG is really good at "breaking things" to put it lighty. No more Dome to Dome and did they not take over Kremetart, double the price and had to cancel the event. I get you have to make money as a business.. But they ripping us a new one.. Cycling has a lot to learn from Running Races. At this rate, Im also not doing any more of their races.. Emperors will be the last.. just too expensive. Emperors R390 / 98KM = R3.80 P/KM.. Amashova R390 / 106km = R3.67 P/KM full road closure and ALOT more logistics being point to point Fast One R290 / 97km = R2.98 /KM R4S R310/ 116km = R2.67 /KM R4S with Donation (which is my choice if I want to support a charity or not) =R350 / 116KM = R3.10/ KM Now I ask you???

Im just wondering how Marathon Runners pay half what we do and get a R180 t-shirt plus goodies.. Are they not as charitable as us? Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

My First VA race.. so Im also #wheelsucking.. holding on for dear life. If you see a guy with a white Trek in Black Albion kit... be nice please, you where all newbies at one stage. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Am I missing something with the route finish... "This takes the race off the late morning busy sections in Rondebult Road and brings the event back into Emperors via Griffith Road. Out of Jet Park the event does a .right turn into Yaldwin Road, followed by a left into Taljaard and left again into Jones road to reach the finish, which is at the same spot as the start." If we go right on Yaldwyn, we never go up to Griffith? We did Griffith last year I think? Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

They actually make it Really easy to get an active day.. 300 calories is NOTHING. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

How did I miss that.. Thanx @Frosty

I don't see this event posted yet, just a reminder that entries close on Monday the 10th. https://www.asgevents.co.za/pages/events/register/?id=306

Yeah ours got messed up big time too Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Could not have said it better Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Thats a massive bill ... And very good point on insurance.. did not think about that. Of course for someone like yourself, the refund would be miniscule as its only the entry fee BUT the guaranteed entry would also be a nice reward then. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Low Q pic that.. but its around 3kph over the peninsula Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Was checking it out and it looks like we might do the following.. From Greenpoint do the reverse up Suikerbossie and Chappies then through Noordhoek to Blackhill/Simonstown ( I want to visit the Navy Museum so we wil coffee/lunch somewhere there.. ) And then just come back the same way. Wind looks dead quiet for around 09:00 . Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Yup. They could change the date to accomodate weather a bit ( but then the whole season gets shoveled around ). They could change it to Sat and have Sun as alternative ( but that would mean making sure the roads, authorities and infrastructure are sorted for two days). What would that do to entry prices, cost to the city and sanity of locals? Money Back? Who carries the cost of already paid for services? Maybe the only thing slightly viable is preferential entry and a slight discount for next year.. The rest they simply cannot control and its part of life in SA. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Well I have Maluti coming, so my training was not in vane.. although quite a bit of money lost ( but I get a nice little holiday out of it ). Thing is, even if they knew about protests, and they most probably did, what do you do? Call In The Army? Riot Police? I'm sorry, but even if they had tanks there to "protect" us, I would still not feel save riding past the protesters. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

True.. people did not hessitate 1 sec to get the heck out of there and to safety. I love cycling and it cost me quite a bit of money to be here (would have been my first) but I do not feel like spending time in Hospital thanx. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Kind of the same thing the protesters are doing hey.. "I Demand" :-) Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Cape Town Locals !! Im here till Wednesday.. Where and what times can I do a nice ride or two.. I'm 3km from the start so bear that in mind. It looks like wind will only really subside on Tuesday morning. What is Suikerbossie and Chappies like on weekdays. Or which other rides can be done on weekdays and which times is best to do em.

Oh I see my Fitness Assessment is not loaded yet, so I'm guessing once that is up it should change.

Can you do a retest, somehow my Healthy Heart Score is only on Amber even though i'm on fitness level 5..

1J 06:43 start.. My 1st one... what is the best strategy for the 1st one? Take in the scenery ?
