Nah, they will just charge you corkage

They have in previous Epics refused to allow you to bring wine into the dining tent - but they had it on the sponsors tables....

... We can all do our part and stop paying for water. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with tap water.

Just the slightest impurity in the water and you have a sh!t storm on your hands. Gone are the days where we used to have good clean drinking water from taps. Most of our blue drop certifications were recalled.

You can take that chance at home but at R4500 something a day you need to play it safe.

Been making this sum in my head:

 

EPIC:

 

R 75 000 for team of two -  R 37 500 per person for 8 days/nights = R 4 687,50 pppd

 

S2C:

 

R 13 900 for team of 2 - R 6 950 per person for 3 days/nights = R 2 316,66 pppd

 

QUESTION to okes/ladies who've done both: (I've only done S2C)

 

What makes EPIC charges double?

Because the Epic is over 8 days....

Not enough helicopters

Not UCI event

Nothing for missus to do

Not enough international exposure

Too hot 

Fro someone who is not a professional : who cares ?

Grant must be used to the treatment EVERYBODY receives at the J2C. Food and drink as much as you like, and the same for everybody. Served Buffet style, and of restaurant quality.

 

And that at a lot less than your Epic entry fee.

Berg and Bush is the same.. chill zone open to all..snacks, juice, coffee, flavoured milk available all day..

"Rider feedback, both negative and positive, has informed many of the changes we have made to the event over the years and we naturally take into account each and every observation.”

 

So based on riders feedback and observation you decided to limit water to one bottle per rider.

Hotels or camper vans mostly

But at there or there sponsors cost, I doubt Epic provide those to them as part of the entry fee....?

 

Does anyone know if those pro teams / sponsored teams with "privileges" as per Grants video pay the same, less or more than Joe soap?

Marketed as a world class event you would at least expect proper hydration.

 

Who is to say that drum of water was cleaned properly, no funky germs have crept in etc
