SwissVan Posted April 18, 2012 Share Ow bout an option to say you have dunnit.... Getting asked if you have done the Argus and 94.7 is faaar worse imo At least here in la la land most cyclists have heard of the Epic, Argus not really and 94.7 draws complete blank looks....

Eldron Posted April 18, 2012 Share R20K is too rich for my blood. Great value for experience - but soft, smelly, lumpy *** value for money. Thread magazine ran an article on if we are being ripped off at stage races based on the actual costs of staging the event. To my mind they got it completely wrong - I really don't care if Kevin drives a Bently or a Beetle - R20K is terrible value for money. I've said it before and I'll say it again - for that kind of moola I'd rather spend a week being pampered in a luxury hotel in Zanzibar than spend a week living in a tent riding my bike around Cape Town. If, however, I got a media/sponsored/rich sugar mommy entry I'd be there tomorrow! NeillUngerer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch Posted April 18, 2012 Share bit of both for me - too expensive - as eldron says - i could go on a cruise to for the same price - and the personal commitment right now to be ready for it is just too much. Maybe when the kids are out of school...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Omega Man Posted April 18, 2012 Share for pretty much the same money you could do the Trans Provence. INCLUDING flights to Europe. http://www.trans-provence.com/dates.shtml nigelhicks and Zook 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceres Posted April 18, 2012 Share I think there would be more chance of me doing it if it was an individual race. Spoke to alot of guys who have done it, the weaker partner doesnt want to do it again with a stronger partner and the stronger partner doesnt want to do it again with a weaker partner.
