Jakkals. Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 I'll live like a hobo to race(read:ride) this. Think I will drive down, get my cuz to drive my car from a-b everyday and sleep in a tent.
djsam Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Ya , we Rand earners tend to be forgotten when these pakages are launched Well like i said earlier R9500 is a good ball park... that included return flights from JHB, and bed and breakfast for 5 nights, now if you share, book in advance.. that should be able to come down... i know they have to make money, however you should be able to gauge from that.
Seepglad Posted April 16, 2014 Author Posted April 16, 2014 our rough thoughts assume a charge around R1500/ day, which will include interstage transfers, meals, accomm, and race entry. also toying with idea of offering day packages, so you take 1 2 3 4 or 5 day option thoughts, suggestions?
TALUS Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 I am VERY keen. I would like to do it and end with a double lap Argus. We need details early to make it happen. I think you are sitting on the cusp of a great idea!!!

I think you are sitting on the cusp of a great idea!!! also the same idea re argus. however will probly die trying to race the first lap with the fresher guys.
milky4130 Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 At the rate the tdb is going I foresee it replacing the Giro Del Capo one of these days. You heard it here first.
Bianchisti Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 All good stuff exciting my taste/race/ride buds which reminds me my biggest focus should be on getting myself in shape if I want to enjoy this. Looking at the names on the GC finishers list I've got no business being there so hoping for a good second bunch. Will the route be the same as 2014 Latrinus? But yeah, a packaged deal with accom, transfers, meals etc sounds good. I need a job, eish!
Wez-O Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Yes, the 2014 route looked superb with both Franschoek & Stellenbosch. Latrinus, R1,500 a day does sound reasonalble indeed.
TALUS Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 At R1.5k you will have to give hubbers preferential booking. I will be in the slow/touring group.
Jakkals. Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 I wish i could be good enough to ride in the front bunch? how does it work? will there be seeding? Or does everyone start together?
Wez-O Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 I wish i could be good enough to ride in the front bunch? how does it work? will there be seeding? Or does everyone start together?As far as I can see, there are the following groups:Elite, VA/Elite woman, VB, VC then 2 open seeded.The vet groups looked rather small in 2014, I think less than 10 riders per group.

Where do you get that from? They might as well start all the vets together?

What PPA seeding (roughly) would I need to at least not get dropped in the first 10kms in the "touring" bunch? :-(
Seepglad Posted April 17, 2014 Author Posted April 17, 2014 vets did all start together, received separate awards
Seepglad Posted April 17, 2014 Author Posted April 17, 2014 What PPA seeding (roughly) would I need to at least not get dropped in the first 10kms in the "touring" bunch? :-( a sub 4 argus is healthy for survival, sub 3 for holding on
