70% of all the corporate fatties that got given entries moaned about the heat so they tamed the Epic for them.

sour grapes ?

Anyone have stats on drop out rate compared to previous years??Especially the year with all the rain.

Only compared with last year, but here are some stats and notes from Kevin Vermaak to avoid any #FakeNews:

 

"2016 St 3=10.91%

2016 Finish=15.02%

2017 St 3=12.69%

2017 Finish=???

 

Be sure to remember:

This does not include blue board riders, hence it's an even lower percentage of riders that don't actually ride cross the final finish line. I think sometimes folk get confused by the fact that the rankings on our results board only include TEAMS that are still in the race - they exclude individual finishers that are out the rankings because their partner is out the race or is riding with a blue board... but is still a finisher.."

Can you guys follow any of the action with the trackers? If you can follow the riders based on their trackers how have you found the updates ?

Did follow some, but seems not all the riders have the trackers activated (or they might be running low on battery)

Ok, asking because these guys were at the expo and are offering a years free subs if you buy the unit. Comes with an SOS function. If my back holds up at S2C and I am in for Munga then I will buy one for the safety aspect so the Mrs can live track me from home while training.

if i include a blue board number as an official rider, then my stats from looking in their archives are

2013 - 82,4%; 88,2% final finshers/st3 finshers

2014 - 87,3%; 95,6%

2015 - 85,3%; 91,4%

2016 - 79,8%; 85,4%

2017 - ???% ; 84,0%

 

The first three years here had about 620 teams starting, 2016 had 647, then this year 666
