Skubarra Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 How much did you pay for your last bike service? How much does a tank of fuel cost?How much of that goes to charity? Cycle events are never overpriced and always for a good cause. I get so miffed when folks driving half a mil worth of SUV with a fancy carbon bike on the back complains about a R350 entry fee. R350 for a late entry on the day, about R200 if you enter by tomorrow. For what it's worth Babse, only people benefiting from the entry fees are the school and the charity BEN, and the price hasn't increased since 2014. I'm very biased because I help out a little but everything is falling in place nicely (including the weather for the weekend) so it looks like we are going to have a good one this year..

Its actually R 210 if you don't leave it for last minute . Less than we spend on pizza every week. Rouxenator and Bankie99 2
Wannabe Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 overpriced Agree.And to ride on routes we can ride anytime we like.
Rouxenator Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Agree.And to ride on routes we can ride anytime we like. I can ride Bottelary anytime I want to seeing as I have a year permit - yet I paid R380 to ride it as part of the STBB MTB this past Saturday. Why? Because that money goes to CANSA in aid of breast cancer. We need to stop spending so selfishly and start thinking about where our money goes after we spent it.

Rouxenator Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Everyone ready for the race this Saturday, have the finalised the route as yet? Seems to have a few changes, we do not take that steep track up the side of the quarry, instead we are gradually climbing up through the quarry. This year : Last Year : Ferro 1

The loop on the left will be the other way around from last year ie you will be doing it anti-clockwise Edited October 25, 2016 by Skubarra Rouxenator 1

Do you think the wind will spice things up a bit, I see a 20km/h + Southern wind is predicted
Americo Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Anyone going from Sea Point? I'm looking for a lift and willing to pay for petrol.
Skubarra Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Do you think the wind will spice things up a bit, I see a 20km/h + Southern wind is predicted ooh, I see... shame, the last 30km on the road is going to hurt...
Ferro Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Seems to have a few changes, we do not take that steep track up the side of the quarry, instead we are gradually climbing up through the quarry. Thanks for the great news. That quarry climb at the end of the Fedhealth...longest walk of my life

Everything in order :-) Edited October 25, 2016 by Skubarra Pure Savage 1
City Cycling Athletic Club Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 nobody told the organisers of the WC Express either - i feel for them
