Kranswurm Posted November 14, 2013 Share have the race start and finish at a proper venue like Nasrec or something, and have the "expo" on race day. WTF is Nasrec.....halfway to Bloem We did the Star 100 starting and finishing there back in the dark ages and its the middle of nowhere GaryvdM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Earp Posted November 14, 2013 Share Sure. Why not? Then you have not only all the cyclists, but families, kids, a whole lot more people to sell stuff to? Keep the venue, that's immaterial, but it seems like people aren't even glancing at the expo when they collect their numbers anyway. Give me a permanent number, and I'd browse at some stalls after the race. Why not? I'm there anyway. I love the way a newbie thinks.The expo, where do I even begin, it's a flea market, people go there for bargains, if the expo was as it was in the beginning, different story.

slowpoke Posted November 14, 2013 Share One word. Gautrain. Not everyone has a gautrain station close by... In fact, for some of us we have to get to sandton in order to use the damned thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Low Posted November 14, 2013 Share I personally want the race to start on witkoppen now, this woodmead / kyalami crap doesnt suite me at all. Nah, we need it to start in Bedfordview - it would go down a bomb in Bedfordview RocknRolla and boredgirl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverRider Posted November 14, 2013 Share It seems that almost everybody that had their say in this particular thread are actually living in Gauteng. We are from the more rural areas as you would call it. So for races, not just the 94.7, think Ride 4 Sight, Berge en Dale etc, we have to travel or arrange to pick up our numbers. In most cases that would result in that someone in the cycling gang has to take the day off and do the round trip of about 300km. Luckily we can fetch our numbers at registration on race day at most races which I am most grateful for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted November 14, 2013 Share Expo is a fleamarket indeed, and nothing wrong with that IMO.Fantastic deal on the Suunto Ambit 2 - R1,500 off the normal price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Potgieter Posted November 14, 2013 Share Hmmm.. Ok, so far we have established the following:the queues are an issuethe location of the expo is an issuethe cost of the parking is an issuethe cost of the race is an issuethe goody bag is an issuethe parking at the race venue is an issuethe seeding is an issueetc etc So, based on the above, why the hell did you enter? Surely if its that much of a problem, you wouldnt bother putting yourself through all that aggrevation? Or the race itself is worth it, in which case, pardon my language, but then shut the hell up about the issues and look passed them.
