Runbikeswim Posted May 8, 2015 Share R399! Eeeeeeeek, I'll be skipping this year as well I think.Same here... 399 is just to much. The event is sponsored and we have to fork out that much? Get real! A major event like 94.7 is cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIPSLICK Posted May 8, 2015 Share IM CLUELESS about costs involved but a normal race is arounf 250-300, then you get water/powerade/ambualnce and a *** pack no one wants???? i did not do Juma, but from what i am told there was huge work/construction/ramps thats not free, so take a normal race add hiring/buying of all equipment maybe its not so rough??

CleatsnCleavage Posted May 8, 2015 Share No way that is a ridiculous price, esp for a race that had such bad reviews last year. Anyway I don't get out of bed for 54kms (well, not in mid-winter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But would be interested to know what are the number of participants they had last year or expect this year compared to another well supported event like the Nissan trail series.Entry fee x participants =?

Derek46 Posted May 8, 2015 Share After my pathetic seeding last year , bottlenecks and lack of water even at the end point I will not enter this event never mind the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR ◣◢ Posted May 8, 2015 Share Completely undecided. Bottlenecks, huge lack of refreshments on route, etc etc etc and the R400 a rider entry has me doubting. R800 for two riders = petrol to Karkloof nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamA Posted May 8, 2015 Share I did the event last year to support the Upgrades to the Spruit. But R400 to ride trails that we can ride for free any time (Except September 6) is a bit much. And the Bottle necks weren't pleasant, we waited 45 mins to get into the golf course! William Juta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChUkKy Posted May 8, 2015 Share I had no bottlenecks last year, I did hear of them though. Started close to the front so had pretty much a clear run at it all. Only bottle neck I had was on my lips with ice cold beer passing through it Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgarath Posted May 8, 2015 Share . Maybe to put more ambulances on the route Last year one guy fell and broke his arm, the other fell into the bundle of razor wire lying next to the trail. Got cut really badly. Both at the same spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
