DJR Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Team DJR is IN! Great SHAKES! Pure Savage, Wannabe, Long Wheel Base and 1 other 4
Ramiez Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I'm in for my 3rd, and the wife is in for her 1st...
Meezo Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 didn't get in... :angry: but that's because i didn't join PPAand i didn't enter... and because its FRIDAY! Bianchisti, urbanroyal and Mongoose! 3
Slowbee Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 so if you did not register, you cannot get in any more ?oops, a bit late on this one ...
Icycling Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I must admit I am rather surpized that PPA members were awarded 5000 slots yet no slots were awarded to club 21 members or rider who had done 10 or more Cape Town Cycles tour - previously known as The Cape Argus Pick ’n Pay cycle tour. One would think the Cape Town Cycle tour would give prefrential treatment to those who have supported the event for a number of years. What a lot of successful commercial companies do with loyalty programs.On the flip side maybe PPA need to try and get road cyclist to joint them by offering something - as currently they don’t offer their road members much!
Meezo Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) so if you did not register, you cannot get in any more ?oops, a bit late on this one ... no parently the nonPPA fools like myself still get to enter later... plan on riding tandem with my Dad, he's never ridden a bike yet, but he's done some running back in the day, a few marathons and comrades, I'm sure it will be a great accolade for him, being he will be turning 70 next year too... problem is sourcing a tandem Edited September 8, 2015 by Meezo Bianchisti, DJR and Capricorn 3

I agree with you, but at least you get better much odds in the lottery if you did many Arguses - so I would be surprised if someone with loads of past tours do not get in when the entries open to the rest of the public

I played domestique for my dad the year he turned 70 and it was the experience of a lifetime! Watch the classifieds like a hawk, sometimes good old tandems come up for a few thousand rand. They don't lose value and you can sell it later for much the same money. Edited September 4, 2015 by DJR Capricorn, Meezo and Long Wheel Base 3
Bianchisti Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 didn't get in... :angry: but that's because i didn't join PPAand i didn't enter... and because its FRIDAY!Same here. Haven't decided if I must enter or not. Might do the last minute spur of the moment.
DJR Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Team DJR is IN! Great SHAKES! Payment done online. The process was an absolute pleasure compared to the electronic meltdown of last year. Long Wheel Base, Bloukrans and TALUS 3
Bloukrans Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Entered! Payment done! Email received! Bring it on!

But alas need might need two entries - but then again, might just do the 4 passes ride that day
rudi-h Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 this is retarded, cannot believe that anyone with a brain cell can think up such a system. People travel all over SA and go to the CTCT in groups. What if you get an entry and your mates don't? That makes for a pretty shitty weekend. thumbs down organizers, thumbs down!
