Long Wheel Base Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 26 Arguses - no special invite for me.Maybe get in touch with club 21 and check they have your details. A friend of mine also never got the special invite email only to find he had mistakenly unsubscribed himself a while ago and forgot that he did it.PM me if you need the chairman's details.
Rouxenator Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 R510 entry... Admit it, you pay more to service your bike and that money just makes the LBS rich, it does not go to charities. I am so fed up with people moaning about how expensive rides are. Get your priorities straight. Pure Savage, Long Wheel Base and Edge540 3

I am so fed up with people moaning about how expensive rides are. Get your priorities straight.500 bucks is an annual permit to jonkershoek. One cycle around the Peninsula vs ride anytime at jonkers... Value for money right there.
Slowbee Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 What I dont get about people complaining about the price, it is like they are forced to enter. FOMO kicks in and they HAVE to enter. You have a choice, either ride or dont ride. Spend your money on this or something else. If you dont like the price then dont enter. You have a choice to enter or not enter. Simple.

Value for money right there.Apples, oranges? Since we're talking groceries, R500 is perhaps half a Woollies bag full of the stuff if you are lucky, and then not if you have fillet or lamb chops in there! Whichever way you look at it, both are bargains. Long Wheel Base 1
Rouxenator Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Jonkerhoek is for posers. R500 also gets you a year permit to Bottelary. Still does not say anything. It's that kind of attitude that led to the death of TransKaroo.

I ride on road.. cost me nothing annually .. Jonkers is ripoff then Long Wheel Base, Rouxenator, DJR and 1 other 4
Pure Savage Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) The Jock Tour was R4250 for three days, more than R1k a day and no road closures. R510 is a bargain, should have been around R650. Even at R1000 the international entry is a bargain at 57 pounds. Edited August 17, 2016 by Pure Savage Long Wheel Base, Rouxenator and DJR 3

Whichever way you look at it, both are bargains. I've done my fair share of cycle tours, and it's "money spent on cycling activities, be it for one day or any given sunday". So fruit, I guess, to clump them together. I'm totally open to do whatever you want to do with your money. I just think that R500 is just some psychological tipping point for me. Having said that, I'll happily pay R1150 (or whatever it costs this year) to do the origin of trails (2 day stage race). So disregard everything I've said, my opinion is worthless.
