Breezer Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 My friend received a confirmation email on Tuesday. He had to respond with in the 72 hours, so maybe some people haven't responded and that's what the delay is. My friend received a confirmation email on Tuesday.

Lurch the stalker Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 How can he receive an email on Tuesday if the draw was Friday?Tuesday + 72 hours = FridayMaybe the announcement was supposed to be Friday, not the draw.
SCD Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Hi Matt, it would be nice to maybe let us know what is happening in the background? It's not the kind of sign-up and hold thumbs competition. Lots of guys have put in quite a bit of work to be part of this. The whole thing feels somewhat disappointing at this stage...
Matt Posted May 24, 2015 Author Posted May 24, 2015 Hi all, My apologies for the delay. While we (The Hub) administered the competition from a technical point of view, we have not been involved in the draw process. I do know that the draw was done early this week and the winners would have been contacted via email by 22 May 2015 at the latest. As the T&C's do mention, there is a 72 hour window within which those winners must respond after which another winner would be selected. Although I was hoping to have the final results to publish on Friday I expect that we will have them tomorrow. As soon as that lands in my inbox I promise you'll all be the first to know! Thanks for your patience Matt cat-i, Donovan Le Cok and JohanC 3
Matchstix Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Here is my problem, if they have contacted me and somehow it got lost. . . And I didn't get it, by posting the provisional I could have contacted them. . Darn it Saag 1
SCD Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Same here. Didn't even check my spam before Friday so it could well be automatically deleted... Damnit! Saag 1
xCorWin Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Same here. Didn't even check my spam before Friday so it could well be automatically deleted... Damnit! Based on the info we got here we all expect (and monitored our inboxes accordingly) some action on Friday! Eish. Anyway - hope the lucky fish(es) appreciate that they won and have an awesome ride!
NotSoBigBen Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 I enjoyed completing the challenge and initially thought I wouldn't .... I did get something out of it Saag and xCorWin 2
xCorWin Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 To get rid of our frustrations we went up and down Malanshoogte 17 times today for a 2000+m climb. If we can do that 4 more times we might get close to the Everesting challenge. Maybe one day when I big waveduke 1
xCorWin Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 I enjoyed completing the challenge and initially thought I wouldn't .... I did get something out of it Totally agree! It was fun to work towards it. And i wish the winners well in the race! (And I hope the organisers also learnt something about the magic of communication in the process)

Thanks for your patience Matt Thanks for administering this awesome competition Matt. I had fun completing the challenges and it got me on the bike when I didn't always feel like it. It also feel a lot better earning an entry than a simple lucky draw. Hope you'll run more of these in the future. Thanks Matt, the Hub, Isuzu tracks. cat-i 1
Cheese Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Was really hoping to get this , but enjoyed the challenge.Will definitely give it a crack again next time if it ever comes up.I would say make it a bit tougher , or allow a person to earn the badges more than once.Then take the guys with most badges to the draw.
dirtypot Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 or allow a person to earn the badges more than once.Then take the guys with most badges to the draw. I don't agree with this. Some guys can ride a lot, and so it would give them an unfair advantage. I work all week, and I have two young kids. My riding time is limited. Should I be precluded because of this?

Skubarra Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 I would say make it a bit tougher , or allow a person to earn the badges more than once.Then take the guys with most badges to the draw. I agree with dirtypot, not an option for for most of us to compete on "most badges" or most hours, longest distance etc I thought this comp striked a nice balance between something that is a challenge but still achievable for the average weekend warrior dirtypot 1
Mike Bike Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 there are a lot of us here chatting who didnt win it...i wonder who the hell did
