Is it just me or are the goodie bags getting worse every year?

 

I know we don't enter for goodie bags but this is seriously disappointing, nothing of use except another water bottle...at least last year we received a small bottle of lube.

 

Get a little creative, put something memorable in there!

It's just you.

 

I got 40 anniversary water bottle, a can of Pringles, a few Super C, Nivea roll on, Flugon, Iceman with Arnica, a mini track pump, an Elastoplast (just 1), toothpaste, a few vouchers and the ladies on the assos stand had a feel to see what size Kuku pouch I needed. And a nice little branded bag to take my stuff to the races.

 

All in all worth the comrades marathon length walk to get to the back of the queue when I arrived at 10:30 and the gates were not open.

 

Seriously, if I wanted to walk I wouldn't enter a bike race.

This very Elastoplast from last year came in handy just the other day when I had nothing else!!

Queues at 9:59 and 10:05, Hot day, not a breath of wind.

 

Me last man after walking past the entrance 6 minutes earlier.

Somewhere down the right there is an entrance.

The elite ladies start at glencairn at 6:30 so they have their own uninterrupted race!!!

 

Good to see woman's race getting its own finish!!

?? So they will only do ca 80 kms? If $ starts at 6.15 in the CBD they are bound to catch them somewhere in Noordhoek or HB?

Good experiment

I predict an "extremely tactical race" for the ladies (at least until the first men catch up).

Tactical means slower... meaning fast men more likely to catch...
