And so the money milking starts

[MarcW]

So when the roadworks are no longer a factor, the price will come back down to earth again ? I think not.

[Abercrombie]

Thanks but no thanks.

R12k for a team entry???

I suppose on the bright side it gives David a reason to get face time on tv again to explain the increase.

['Dale]

Supply and demand, I reckon

 

It will still fill up yeah

[Mongoose!]

Greediness from mtb stage events finally blown over to road events all in the name of a money driven supply and demand ...

[SSCC]

Did you guys read the article before reacting to the entry price? At R1,000 per team member the organizers are just covering costs.

[Malpiet]

Well if the one tonner can go at R150 how can you justify a cost of R1000pp

 

IMHO I dont need food served to me at the finish because iam a fussy eater anyway.

My main gripe is how do you justify a 55% increase in entry cost? as a % increase this is even above the EPIC!! yet you subjected to more neutral zones with crappy road conditions.

The events problem is that it was giving riders more value than they were paying for in the past. At R1000 per person its in line with the ASG events we have taken part in and they use Racetec. <3

 

At least any money they make, 50% goes to a charity so not the end of the world.

Dear Meezo

 

In an effort to ensure a clear understanding and in fairness to all potential participants of the 2016 Coronation Double Century, we have decided to delay the entry application process by a few days to afford us the opportunity to send you a further detailed communication.

 

As a result of the extended negotiations with all role players in respect of the route and route access, we have decided to give participants a little more time to familiarise themselves with both route conditions and the new proposed entry process.

 

Best wishes & safe cycling
