Skubarra Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 https://twitter.com/w2wmtb/status/567253195819196419 Geez, 1.5 hours and not even yet open to the general public... I guess that answers the 22% increase question Glad this one already ticked off my to-do-list, seems I'll never get a chance again!
Rich Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Managed to get an adventure entry. Anyone recommend great accommodation near the race village for the 2 nights?
GLuvsMtb Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Managed to get an adventure entry. Anyone recommend great accommodation near the race village for the 2 nights?Good luck. It took me 3 days last week to get something close to Bot River (about 20km away).
nonky Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Seems like the norm for Stillwatersports this year... Xterra 2014 - R500Xterra 2015 - R700 (40% increase) W2W 2014 - R9000W2W 2015 - R11000 (22% increase) Salary increase - 7% :-Was it an xterra increase over inflation - would you say a whale of a price hike?it's enough to make you wine...
River Rat Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 My little plan of swapping a Sani2centry for a W2W seems to have paid off with only substitutions to be done. Super keen for a new adventure!
Rich Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Good luck. It took me 3 days last week to get something close to Bot River (about 20km away).That's not good. So I guess we are camping. How does it compare to Sani camping and race village?
Gazzan Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Well you don't have to share a tent, plus you don't have to pack up and move after each stage.
GLuvsMtb Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 That's not good. So I guess we are camping. How does it compare to Sani camping and race village?Think of McKensie Club rather than Jolivet. Everything is neatly and logically laid out. The only thing that is a bit out of the way is the support village (mechanics), but even that is close compared to other events. You get your own tent (2 man tent opposed to Sani2C 4 man tent)The FNB Rider Zone was great last yearThe Marquee is big enough to seat everyone in one sittingEnough showers and toilets, but not plumbed toilets like McKensie

We entered ourselves on the list around June as we wanted to get preference for 2015. we got an entry around August and decided to give it a go in 2014.

swiss Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Entry confirmed, 2nd year doing the Ride.Was sceptical the first year spending so much on a race, but definitely worth it.No hesitation this year to enter immediately.
Wannabe Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Anybody on Database and not riding this year that wants to help a fellow rider out?Want to do the Ride.
cadenceblur Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I got lucky and got an entry for the RIDE from someone who's team mate has pulled out.Will be my first stage race.Excited - haven't really done any MTB races.
Jaco-fiets Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I am happy to buy a adventure entry off somebody if they decide to bail
