Mr SingleTrack Posted June 28, 2013 Share NEVER MIND SOLD SOLD SOLDok, so which race are we doing instead? Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/126611-2014-joberg2c/page/21/#findComment-1971652 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted June 28, 2013 Share Calm down friends - you have months to think about it. Obviously the solo is at a massive premium as organiser wants 2 entries per tent.

Ryanpmb Posted June 28, 2013 Share Nooo, methinks it's time to consider Ride to Rhodes next year. Winter woollies needed.That's where we will be. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/126611-2014-joberg2c/page/21/#findComment-1971762 Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanz Posted June 28, 2013 Share 500 worked fine on Dusi.That's good to hear.As for the entry fee, you can count on 10-15% year on year across the board.And once a race establishes itself (ie fills up) they can jack it up even more. As long as the sport is growing (and I think it is massively and nowhere near peaked) it's a sellers market. The cheapest strategy is going to be to do races when they are new and not established and move on.At this point Lowveld quest, PE 2 plett, that kind of thing.There's a real herd mentality in operation.You going to pay a premium to do the races that everyone wants to do even if it's not better riding.There may be some bitching and moaning, but the race will sell out.Next year or the year after they'll be able to remove the solo category.So if you want to do it then just pay the extra K or 2 and enjoy because the price trend is only one way.

Mr SingleTrack Posted June 28, 2013 Share Ok so I put some thought to the whole GPS navigation thing. I don't like it. Sure, I have not yet tried it. And here comes the BUT: I just hate it to look down at my cycle computer during races. I prefer to either take in the views or I tend to stare at they ground a couple of meters before me when the track demands it... Also, navigating with a GPS is just not the same as navigating with a map, so no sence of achievement to be gained. I really just don't like the idea that I need to enter a stage race, and cycle through some of the most visually stunning areas in our country, only to spend more time looking at a computer screen. Maybe I'll come around one day, but for now I prefer a my races to have a good mix of adrenalin and stunning views with a dash of simplicity where it matters. Sorry about the spelling...

Used my solar charger for my phone, problem is the 12 hours it needs to load batteries. Got my iPhone to about 70%. Don't know how u gonna keep ur phone and GPS charged for 9 days.
