Jaco-fiets Posted March 19, 2016 Share What's that? 20% increase in this year's entry fee? They should stop fooling around and just pop it to R80 000 Lexx, raptor-22 and gummibear 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissVan Posted March 20, 2016 Share Unnecessarily expensive. Cue gluvsmtbIf I was an international entry in 2017 I would feel ripped off with the cost of entry.Don't see why overseas entries should be expected to pay more... it is going to be simply to expensive for your average non sponsored rider. It's like they are trying to discourage private non sponsored riders across the board. justanotherbiker, Hairy and raptor-22 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowbee Posted March 20, 2016 Share perhaps the time has come to stop thinking of the epic as a ride for the masses. it is clearly no longer an amateur race - only sponsored riders can do this, which is very close to a professional outfit, the thread comparing the epic to the tdf is very fitting in this regard.
