Hollard Juma 2015: bigger, better and more badass than ever!

[Runbikeswim]

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

[DIPSLICK]

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]

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)

Ssssshh... let them not enter   

More fun for us... shorter queues in the beer tent

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 =?

when i was 5 i used to play in the drains, i now prefer playing in the clean open out doors  

beer tents,,,,,,,mmmmmmm beer what were we talking about again

[Derek46]

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.

[rvdm1]

I will be there. By far the most fun I had in a race last year.

No wonder you guys come and ride down here in KZN,at that price I would rather come down here as well and ride.

September?

[DR ◣◢]

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

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!

[ChUkKy]

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

[Belgarath]

. 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.
