W3RN3R Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Charging150 bucks for a 20k race??? Knowing it is a tough race but will the entry not distance some people??? Who is pocketing the money?
NotSoBigBen Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Not sure about others but I just repeat what I said after Thaba Toughee 1 - I would pay double for the fun I had in those 20k's! I plan to be there TheV 1
scotty Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Make a day of it, pack some beers, eats and stick around to watch the SS riders.
DR ◣◢ Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Will be doing both events on the day if all goes according to plan.
Wendell Posted June 20, 2012 Author Posted June 20, 2012 Charging150 bucks for a 20k race??? Knowing it is a tough race but will the entry not distance some people??? Who is pocketing the money? I am pocketing the money from the morning events. If there is any profit after expenses..medics,marshalls, timekeepers and other costs the split will be 60% to CANSA ALBERTON and 40% to Circle of Faith Ministry. The basic costs will be the same for for a 50km race as our 20km race.... but the THABA TOUGHEE THREE will not happen if I had to use all the available trail. The hardest 20km you will yet ride.The money from the Single speed will go into a kitty to foster Single Speed racing as there are no sponsors YET.
Wendell Posted June 26, 2012 Author Posted June 26, 2012 It's great to see the interest in the single speed champs as well as the Thaba Toughee Two....we will give you a refund of R70 at registration if you have entered both events on line....yup, so you will get two races for R230 and still we will give 60% of the profits of Thaba Toughee Two and the Thaba Fun 20km to CANSA ALBERTON.... on line entries at entrytime.com
Wendell Posted June 29, 2012 Author Posted June 29, 2012 This Charity Ride will make a dent in the shortage of funding of funds at CANSA ALBERTON.... Are you up to it...if NOT the Thaba Toughee Two then the 20km FUN ride. Time is right for your commitment... then stay later and watch the SA Single Speed showdown!!! Who is strong anough to finish ahead of Grant " Elvis" Usher...
jcmeyerSS Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Wendell Thaba has great trails and your races are always awesome value for money and we all know it's for a great cause you shouldn't have to justify anything to anyone. Those that miss out are gonna kick themselves. TheV 1
TheV Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Wendell Thaba has great trails and your races are always awesome value for money and we all know it's for a great cause you shouldn't have to justify anything to anyone. Those that miss out are gonna kick themselves. Agreed, 100% - I would take the 20km at THABA over most 40-60km day races. It has climbs, drops, descends, twisty single track, wild animals, it's relatively close, and it's super fun. I'm amazed that people who have never been at Thaba would ask you to justify the price tag. I suggest they stop complaining and venture through for a day visit, at R30... and explore the trails for a couple of hours.... for those who don't know, the toughee event covers less than 1/3 of the total Thaba area, go have a ride!
fitzy Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Can we enter on the day? I have a group of about 10 of my mates that are coming to ride as well and wanted to know if possible to enter on the day. Looking forward to the toughee 2 saw alot of guys out there on sunday riding the route.
