Nibali Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I am getting nervous of the Tour...need to ramp up the training big time!
Jay_B Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 In for the Classique... my first time doing this event and having spent a week on honeymoon in the area travelling around last month I am looking forward to it, I enjoy that sort of climbing... whether I will be ready is a different story though
jcza Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I was very keen on the Tour but I'm not interested in all the Rudy Project stuff that is included/free with the entry. Sell me a race entry and not a lucky dip. Will be there for the one day Jock.
Bianchisti Posted May 19, 2015 Author Posted May 19, 2015 I was very keen to do this until I had a look at the price. Close on R4k just for a 3 day race entry with no food, or accommodation is pretty rich? Can we not get a price without all the race pack products? The entry fee for the 3-Day event is R3950 and includes race pack products valued at R5000: A custom pair of Rudy Project Rydon Sunglasses2 Boxes of High 5 RacepacksFtech Soft Shell hooded JacketTubby bag, tyre levers and Zefal CO2 canisters and holdersPasta dinner at Mbombela stadium on the Friday, 17 JulyASG Sport Discount booklet, valid for the entire 2015 with discounts on an array of productsSpecial Bestmed Jock Tour finisher’s trophyWell stocked water pointsNeutral service support vehiclesVery true dat. I can't think of anything of interest in that bag. Probably stuff they couldn't get sold/old stock etc. The discount booklet will be interesting. Means come on over and spend more cash at a "discount".
sometime Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I was very keen on the Tour but I'm not interested in all the Rudy Project stuff that is included/free with the entry. Sell me a race entry and not a lucky dip. Will be there for the one day Jock. Pretty much what we will do too and do our own rides on the Friday and Sunday. Pity because proper road stage races are few and far between. But honestly R4k is too much and I'm normally the last to complain about race entry fees.
Jay_B Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 I see seedings came out over the weekend... BL starting at 06:50 Never been in Nelspruit over winter, any ideas on what to expect with the weather, how cold will the start be?
Patchelicious Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Cold, dress warm. You can always dump your kit at the first stop.
Patchelicious Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 I see VA/VB/VC and juniors are all starting together? This isn't normal?
davem Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 If anyone is looking for an entry for the one day event, please PM me. Not able to do it this year.
LOOK695 Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 I see VA/VB/VC and juniors are all starting together?This isn't normal?Seems they are doing this to seperate the 3day tour riders from the Classique riders

Patchelicious Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Seems they are doing this to seperate the 3day tour riders from the Classique ridersIn what way?
LOOK695 Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 In what way?According to their email they state that the majority of CSA riders have entered the 3day tour where they race for their age categories
Jay_B Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Where did you see the seeding? Got an email. Came through on Saturday.
jcza Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 According to their email they state that the majority of CSA riders have entered the 3day tour where they race for their age categories ORLY? Gotta love the assumptions.
