Winstonian1984 Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 So out of curiosity I checked the cycle tour website and the entry date has changed 3 times already. First it was 1 September 2014, then 8 September 2014, then it was 26 September, now it says the date will be announced soon. Maybe there is a debate that is going on alas EFF - "pay back the money"
Oufy MTB (Roadie) Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 saw on the bicycling sa fb page that there are exciting developments that needs to be finalised before they can open entries. lets wait and see
Mr Legs Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 The rumour going around (and The Hub is by far the best site for spreading rumours) is that PPA members will get the opportunity to enter before the non-members. My source for this ? The assistant driver of the courier company that collects at our factory.

Pure Savage Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 You can become a member of PPA now until 26 Sept and get to enter early. Then guaranteed a spot.
GaryvdM Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 You can become a member of PPA now until 26 Sept and get to enter early. Then guaranteed a spot. Sorry, but that does not make sense for non Western Cape riders.
Pure Savage Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Sorry, but that does not make sense for non Western Cape riders. Then you wait for an entry after those in western cape have entered. Home town advantage.
Tubehunter Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Wow, it's that time of the year already! There is also an early run for those that have completed 10 or more tours. Upcountry membership fees are negligible. Think the discount on the entry is almost that. The new PPA membership fees for 1 July 2014-30 June 2015 are as follows:MEMBERSHIP FEES 2014-2015 Main member R310 Additional family member R155 u/18 R140 UNCHANGED Pensioner R240 Upcountry R150 UNCHANGED Main member paying via debit order R285 UNCHANGED
capeofstorms Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Sounds like the PPA is desperate to gain or keep existing members. Been a member myself, but has slowly seen good road events disappear off the calendar. Sorry PPA you won't be seeing me again anytime soon
DJR Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 I'll be ready to enter team DJR as soon as it opens, although by now they should give us red carpet entries as faithful customers! It is going to be an interesting year for us as far as team dynamic goes, because the youngsters now have me in the cross hair! It might just turn out to be the first year that I get bumped as team leader. And yes, I am also very proud of that possibility but I think I'll put in some skelm training and use all the tricks wily old fox learnt over the years.

Can't wait for my youngsters to be taking me down myself!

Pure Savage Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Wonder if you can enter for both laps up front this year? Maybe a little discount would be nice.
