Donovan Le Cok Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Unless you shave your legs for a living, you are not in a race, you are in a fun ride.* *I guess leg models also have to shave their legs, so I apologize to the leg models amongst us. What if I shave my legs for fun? Is it a fun race then?

Veebee Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 I haven't been through all the pages here, but having not done the CTCT before, I am going to sign up for an entry and pay the R470 to ride the route. No matter what is said or done, the event will still go ahead... Long Wheel Base 1

No matter what is said or done, the event will still go ahead...Having done a whole lot, I'll join you. And I'll do my level best to get the whole of team DJR in as well, even though they have done a whole heap too. Why? Because it is one of the most beautiful rides in the world and the most fun day you can have on a bike in Cape Town! Period. Edited August 7, 2015 by DJR Veebee, Long Wheel Base and Pure Savage 3

Long Wheel Base Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 All this complaining and I'm sure most of you will still attempt to enter. I don't care how they do the entry I'll still enter, I have to, I got a record to keep!!! I will fork out 10 grand(it's only money,can't take it with me when I go) for the weekend, I will ride 109km(or 46km). Why? Well the fact that it's such a big race in such high demand and been going for long says it all.PS: remember it's the first Sunday of march this year and not the 2nd like it always has been.
Cog Masher Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Better idea than a ballot system is to hold the event over 2 days...that way you can accommodate 70000 riders....much more revenue for charity and everyone is happy. Long Wheel Base, Allrounder and HBO 3
Eddy Gordo Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Sure enough, but the first timer should qualify by doing other seeding events. "fun" riders can go in a ballot system. By looking at this tears seeded and un seeded groups, I would guess that of the 35 000 at most 25 000 are serious riders and the rest "fun" riders, or at least people who won't care that much if they miss out on entry. So why not give your more keen cyclists who did 2 or 3 seeded events a first chance to enter- I doubt there will be 25 000- and then throw it open on a ballot basis.What about the rider that only rides the argus? WHat about the riders that cant afford travel costs, race costs etc to other races but they save to ride the argus?
rock Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 entry fee should be on a sliding scale, you pay R500 and then you get a credit afterwards based on your time. Quicker you go the bigger the rebate. dont pitch on the day, get charged another R500 DJR, Pure Savage and Long Wheel Base 3

Then think about two days.
