So let me get this straight

1) The PPA gets a massive influx of new members fees as they wanted

2) All these early entrants crash the system and possibly miss their 4 hour window to enter

3) They now get to enter on the 26th with the rest of us

4) PPA wins

Yes, the persistent idiot I was, i tried a few times on straight and a few times on 3 month budget when my straight balance was up.  Few times it did not hit the bank, but now have 3 X R800 reservations on straight and 2 X R800 on budget.

 

At least I did get a confirmation from VCS and the Cycletour after my last attempt. And, checking on Racetec's website, I am entered. Now just for the hassle of getting my money back.

maybe it will still come off tonight ?!

Sad to say but I sensed a point a couple of years back where PPA seemed to be more about money than cycling. Haven't been a member since then.

 

I'll still hopefully be there for Argus, assuming there are entries left on 26th and the system is working. Still a great event despite my feelings towards the organizers.

 

It's a shame you guys have got shafted by such a shoddy system though - hope they get it sorted for you and you all get the entries you made and refunds for the multiple debits

Anyone lucky enough to obtain an entry yet ? I have paid twelve times but havent gone off my account!

 

Earlybird Entry= Epic Fail

 

Stop wasting our time! Racetec also not taking any more calls, i sure dont want to miss the deadline by 15:00

I have been told not to try again.  They will send me an e-mail and I will be able to conclude the transaction out of the 10 - 15h00 window.  Let's hope they keep their word.
