My mate just updated me on his 2013 spend for races. This includes Epic and Sani 2014.

 

R82000 !

 

Can you top that? Or, should I ask, would you want to?

Out of interest, any idea of the value of his bike and what he has spent maintaining his sled over the year?

3 weekends away so far this year, looks pretty modest.

 

But i have spent far more on bike services than car services this year.

Your one outing (even though it wasn't a race...) trumps anything anybody could have spent on any local race.

Nope not true. Epic is well over 20k to enter.

No man, not in cost!!! The experience!!! R25k for two weeks riding in Morzine vs two weeks of jeep track in the Cape :ph34r:

 

I know where my money's going (and it's nowhere near a Cape Wine farm that's for sure!!)

Quite right - but (ahhh how"s this for a crafty get-out) i got a free entry for that one, so no spend.

 

 

.....got free entry for Macsteel too come to think of it.

Let me whip out the big scientific calculator for this one.......

 

Tru Cape MTB race

 

So a grand total of R110.00 ex travel, holiday accomodation for the family (Even though this was just about 1.5hrs drive from home) and a killer springbok pie from Perigrene farm stall

The Bigger Question would be how much does it cost to keep the wife happy to justify all the training and nights away to fill this calender of events... :whistling:

 

actually even forgot to add Van Gaalens trailseeker and 94,7 to those...
