Patchelicious Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Alt Tab: Why not sign up for the alternative instead?Hijacking another events thread is really low. Rather promote your event positively than lowering yourself to these tactics. Actions like these only go to support the statements that ASG made before.
hayleyearth Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Hi ASG, I think I need to be honest here. This is starting to "feel" like there is a level of arrogance happening here. I pay you R26 000 for an entry and I am expected to be grateful for a R20 saving. "The normal price of the ICE ID PRO is R199Thanks to Tour of Good Hope, the price is R179" Thanks to ToGH??Honestly if I can afford an entry of several thousand rand, surely I can afford the extra R20? Please stop trying to push products on us, please just deliver a quality event. The value of an event does not sit in small savings on product partners, or even free larger products like the Rudy glasses, these are appreciated mke no mistake, but the real value sits in the professionalism of the event organisation and the event experience. Get those two right and there will be no need for the other peripherals.... R26000?!??? Seriously? Is that really the price for this event?
Edgar Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Who is racing the Team Event? FRIB team with 8 dudes. We are still trying to work out who the team bottle fetcher is since our dead cert bailed on us for a business trip.
Patchelicious Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 R26000?!??? Seriously? Is that really the price for this event?That is for my team of 8 riders. So it works out to R3250 per rider for a 5 day event, which is not bad at all compared to some others. Especially the bigger MTB races. Granted, they have logistical nightmare race villages, but they also don't have road closures to contend with.... I don't think the entry fee is unreasonable at all! Just that if you can afford it, you probably won't be as super duper excited about a R20 saving as ASG is
Cargyrl Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 This event is going to be so much fun. Cannot wait to be there, I am not riding but might be the bottle fetcher and carrier.
Pure Savage Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 R26000?!??? Seriously? Is that really the price for this event?Split amongst 8 okes, worth it

IMan777 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 5 weeks to go and I'm about 15 weeks off from being remotely ready. Really not looking forward to this.I was part of a really strong team.... I was by far the weakest link due to very little training and they had stronger riders lined up. I decided to quit the team and I am now going to ride it solo and I am really looking forward to this now that the pressure is off. It is still going to be really hard but I am going to take it a lot easier now. Can't Wait!!

I have to enjoy cause I might never get the "license" to do another 5 day tour from the boss.
Pure Savage Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Sounds like 8 machinesHa ha, honestly we probably have two machines and 6 Carlos Betancurs...
