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

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??

Me to no idea what a race would cost to host PROPERLY, and they do you additional costs inc construction of bridges. 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 =?

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.

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 :P

No brainier

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!

. 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.
