Marius Posted October 29, 2014 Share I was thinking of getting back into competitive cycling but with the way entry fees / petrol are on the increase it's not feasible. Back to being a weekend warrior for me! Smurfy and Reg Lizard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nil Posted October 29, 2014 Share Judging by significant price increases for races, you can almost be certain that the 2016 Argus will be way north of R 500.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider3000 Posted October 29, 2014 Share The race entry fees is starting to look like an auction if you ask me.... race organizers trying to bit for the highest entry fees... Smurfy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny Bravo Posted October 29, 2014 Share Who here thinks they will fill the 6000 entries? I think they might struggle. Smurfy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nil Posted October 29, 2014 Share I think they will struggle, because more and more people are starting to look at what they are getting for their high entry fees, and realizing that the numbers don't add up. Marius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubarra Posted October 29, 2014 Share Who knows, I think a lot of people complain but still enter. Last year they easily sell out. I see they dropped the short route, which I think was not that clever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride with my girlfriend and some younger kids in our family and just take it easy. Smurfy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johny Bravo Posted October 29, 2014 Share 7500 entries to be exact.That seems a lot for a race with no road closures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurfy Posted October 29, 2014 Share That seems a lot for a race with no road closures. And there lies the problem. The way back from Wellington. (havent seen the new route yet). Johny Bravo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassie Posted October 29, 2014 Share I think its good value. It includes breakfast and lunch, on both days. The food was lekka last year. And the routes are just amazing, worth every penny. I absolutely love that race. Not to forget that some of this entry fee goes towards the upkeep of the Jonkers trail system... :thumbup: Johny Bravo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renburg Posted October 29, 2014 Share Wouldn’t it be nice if organisers of not only this event, but other events as well join The Hub for a predetermined day and time which is advertised on The Hub and engage in an hour question and answer session with members alternatively that a selection of relevant questions from members are selected, presented to organisers and the questions and answers furnished to all members? Daar kan dan duidelikheid bekom word oor byv waarom die korter roete mee weggedoen is, wat is die agtergrond waarom Die Burger nie meer betrokke is nie , is dit toeval dat die Argus en nou ook die event se naam verander is analoog aan die Argus en ook ander aspekte omtrent die spesifieke event. Ek sal dit baie meer waardeer om op hoogte te wees met die feitelike situasie as om daaroor te wonder en te bespiegel wat in baie gevalle alleen tot negatiwiteit aanleiding verleen.......of is so iets al op die Hub gedoen en is agteros nou ook in die kraal?  Joshua1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
