SFDT Posted April 8, 2011 Share 600 27km riders @ R130 / each = R78 000200 55km riders @ R180 / each = R36 000Total = R114 000 Maybe I'm just naive, but surely that's more than enough to put on a decent event? I can tell you this much - whoever answers the info@grandstandmanagement.com address must be having a terrible day! definitely and the staff they had there was volunteers thats for sure, you cannot pay someone to do a job like that. I agree that the person answering the mails must be having a blast today, just got one from my side too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCHWINN LOVER Posted April 8, 2011 Share Well my first ride is officially in the bag. 1 hour 50 for the 27km and I was hoping for a 2hr.The timing was abit of a problem but my time is within 30 seconds of my computers,just luck I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLuvsMtb Posted April 8, 2011 Share Did they get your time right VS your Garmin?Garmin showed 3:39:15 Their time is 3:41:01, so not too far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaco-fiets Posted April 8, 2011 Share This just confirms my thoughts that it would be a rip off!! So glad i did not enter. They just smoked you guys. The results will stay a ballsup. Has anybody tried to lodge a complaint with the epic race offices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Bike Posted April 8, 2011 Share They've clearly realised what a stuff up it is and have taken the results down... that link is to 2010's photos - was there before along with 2010's results before the new results were posted. I wonder if Kevin Vermaak and his Epic organisers will be happy to be associated with this bunch of amateurs, in the 27 km race they've only left out the podium riders, imagine leaving out Songo, Bulls and Marida. They should give the race to someone who cares about cycling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushdee Posted April 12, 2011 Share Got this from grandstand management today: From: xxxxx [mailto: xxxxx@grandstandmanagement.com] Sent: 12 April 2011 11:27 AMTo: xxxxxSubject: RE: Vigne-a-Vigne race query (Re. race number 520) Dear xxxxx, The results were on the website, but we have a huge problem with them, because some of the riders who signed up to do the 50km did the 26km and now the times are all wrong because it reflects that a 50km rider completed the race in 1:25 (which is ridiculous) so we have someone trying to sort that out, because there is no point in posting results that are wrong. Sorry about the confusion and please be patient while we try to resolve this issue.

Meezo Posted April 12, 2011 Share how long ago did you mail them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushdee Posted April 12, 2011 Share 5min before their reply. But this was a staff member's mailbox & not the info@grandstandmanagement.com mailbox which the staff member told me takes some time before they get through those mails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
