Patchelicious Posted March 22, 2016 Share Judging by how many "celebs" rode this year, I am suprised any entries are actually "sold sold". Seems all you need to do these days to get into the Epic is to have one good drop goal, cheaper than an entry if you ask me....

ABSA for example?  I wonder if they (ABSA) pay for those entries at the going rate or get a discount or even worse for nothing because they are sponsors ?

nathrix Posted March 22, 2016 Share And to add to all these questions, why not allow gps tracking due to the live tracking available on the epic website for all to see and capture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABSA for example?  I wonder if they (ABSA) pay for those entries at the going rate or get a discount or even worse for nothing because they are sponsors ?They would most definately get entries in exchange for sponsorships, the value exchange makes sense. If I swop something that cost me R20k but retails for R60k for something that you sell for R60k that only costs you R20k we both get something worth R60k for R20k. I understand ABSA/Dimension Data etc getting a few entries that they can give their top clients/partner/staff. Its the semi local celebs (local celeb being an oxymoron) that get their entries sponsored for them that I dont get.

The ABSA Cape Epic, duh dan dan dan daaaahhhh. How many okes can now simply call out at their new 'tjomma", hey "Slugger" or "lekker Jono" next time they see these rugby boys at Kingsmead. Shame how many wives have had to hear the following in the last few days. "You know babes, these exbokke are actually just like me and the ouens, lekker okes, could be one of my chinas, skim I should give Gary a call and tune him to come for a braai during one of the T20s". The only celebs that I would like to see doing the Epic is Riaan Cruywagen and Julius Malema and they must be on the same team. nonky, Ferro, SwissVan and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
