Riding at Suikerbosrand?

4 years on...

Entry fee is now R75

 

But you can apply for a 6 months permit. Thinks its R250

Whaaaaaaat? The last time I rode Suikerbosrand in February entry was R30! Look, I don't mind paying a bit more for a good facility but - besides for a really scenic ride - services have always been in tatters (I literally cannot remember when last the toilets were working and the Reserve has been without water for most of last year and this year). I really hope that this money will go towards getting the place in order.

Entry is R70

 

R40 for a vehicle and then R30 per person.

 

We stopped at the Circus, its a easy 13km warm up to the South Entrance.

 

Paid R30...cheap as chips

Wait...that puts a different perspective on things. Rewind... :whistling:

Have you ever not had a headwind on your way back to the circus ? :whistling:  :whistling:

 

Either way, the final sprint over the railway line makes the beer under the trees even more worthwhile.

Anybody doing the SBR double loop "race" thingy on the 28th? I'm pretty excited about it. Only ever done single loops, and always with someone who bonked prior to the last big climb (or, in one instance, being the guy who bonked), so excited to see what its like when I can go at my own pace.

 

Out of interest, what's the yearly permit at Thaba NSBB? I've fallen very much in love with that place, and having a yearly sub might save me some dosh.

Think I might still have a good time over that little bump. Takes 700w over 40s to break into the top 20!

you have to scan the barcode. Marketing 101..

Marketing fail. Far too few people in the target market of this event will know to do that, and even fewer will do it.

They labeled the barcode as Buy Tickets, had they labeled it as More Info it would have a better click to view ratio
