Stevief Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Im in for the 55km did it last year its a tough ride make no mistake. Agree that 180 SA ronds is a bit out of line, thats nearly what golfers pay, surely they can keep the price lower than that. Anyhoo at least i have an awesome ride to look forward to.
Cassie Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Remember this year at the Epic finish there are all these live bands playing etc etc. {whole afternoon of entertainments planned} You entry fee is NOT just for the MTB...it's to cover all these peripherals as well! Also first time ever that there will be a live broadcast finish to a MTB stage race...dunno If you are also contributing towards that as well??

But when you are a supporter or family member, you enter the farm for free!Why do the participants of the Mtb race have to contribute towards the entertainment?

Tankman Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Entries all sold out. So I guess we were in the minority that thought they were nuts by charging R180. Anyway, thank you all, I will come and enjoy the free entertainment you paid for
CatGirl Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Maybe there is one hell of a goodie bag neeee broer, when you go and pick up race number before hand(at lourensford), there is a table where you can pick up a few things..nothing to write home about and the medal is in the form of a bottle opener
headhunter Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Tank, got my entry ! Just p!ssed I had to pay for your entertainment All i ask is that you keep me a frosty for after the 55km ?
Tankman Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) @Headhunter Will do, if there are any left! Edited March 24, 2011 by Tankman
Meezo Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Entries closed yesterday at 1 . All entries or just pre-entries/early entries?
Carmichael Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 All entries, no entries on the day, luckily i got mine.
scuzzy Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I was very lucky, told someone i the office that if they want to enter they need to do it before 12:30, only to realise ze that it was 12:32, took a chance and seneked in before it got blocked. Hope I don't regret it.
udxcob Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Oh well I will just have to watch you guys from the sidelines
SCHWINN LOVER Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 can someone tell me how the start works? Cannot see us all starting the 26KM together as the highest number I have seen is 1625 so I guess we will be started in groups??
LazyTrailRider Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Crap, I came back from a short hard ride earlier and realised afterwards this 50 is going to kill me. Two years ago I would be aiming for top 20, now I'm just hoping I won't die of exhaustion... "The wheel turns" seems like an apt sentiment right now!
Slowone Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 can someone tell me how the start works? Cannot see us all starting the 26KM together as the highest number I have seen is 1625 so I guess we will be started in groups?? Last year they broke into groups based on your number ..... 1 - 100 was in front ....... racing snakesthe rest just filled up behind them 101 - 500 i think and so on.......
