Service Offerings Laundry costs

[Groadie]

The Cape Epic recently announced that it would be charging participants per laundry bag they handed in. Fair or just milking it?

[DIPSLICK]

most stage races charge,,,

 

but this cant be a seriaaas question????

 

 the epic milking it       

 

nevaaaaaa

 

 

in fact you may just get a bil for using the word epicl

[Headshot]

And the miking of the masochists continues. Maybe they think because entrants are masochist at heart a bit of extra money torture will be appreciated...?

Previously free of charge.

Ride, get dirty, go shower, take kit with you and wash, hang out to dry.....wear kit set no. 2 the next day and repeat?

 

If you have K@K@ weather it could be an issue RE drying time though.

 

Surely either of your personal bike mechanic / massues / chef personal could bear this burden over the 8 days for you ?

IF they hand wash the assos kit in assos shampoo and hang to dry out of direct sunlight, every time, then yes it is worth it. IMO

Previously free of charge.

 

Then moan away..... the annual increase in entry costs should cover the increase in laundry costs.

 

Next they will charge you for tents.

Sadly not riding this year so I'll keep quiet.

And you have 8 sets of kit.... so shut up you should.....

 

The only benefit of the service to me is not putting completely dirty kit back in the bag to vrot for a week....

 

Just waiting for them to start charging for the showers...

Its requires some nested if's and elseif to fully sum up the amount of moaning that could be involved but I like your style.
