Slowbee Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Ignorance is always the softest pillow on which to rest your head. Go in blind.we are talking tents, not the epic itself. EDIT: how was ozzie land ?
Patchelicious Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Ignorance is always the softest pillow on which to rest your head. Go in blind.That's probably the greatest post I have ever read! ????????????????????????
Thor Buttox Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 we are talking tents, not the epic itself. EDIT: how was ozzie land ?The Epic is in tents. Very in tents. Aussie Land is surprisingly first world, yet surprisingly 'SA in the 80's'. I don't mean the obvious horrible stuff - I mean everything is closed by 2pm Saturday and you have to make plans to do stuff. (And flat bike paths are not as appealing in 40 degrees with the local fauna buzzing around your head.)

V12man Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Just saw the video with Usher Was this always the case or is it just conditions one can expect from 2017 onwards?been about the same since 2012. This year the food was a big improvement over last year. Drinks were arguably worse... Desert ... well that just was terrible...
V12man Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Must say, I thoroughly enjoyed every single aspect of the Pioneer....Glad to hear that - I am planning to be a newbie next year.

CAPS LOCK ONFOR LIFESoooo much sensitivity around lately, it's like everyone has lost their sense of humor, And everyone thinks this is the real word,,,,even if it's obvious when SPEAKING ***THERE WAS A TIME WHEN HUBBERS WERE SHARP ENOUGH TO SPOT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YANKING CHAINS, AND TAKING BLOOD OATHS
SwissVan Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Last night I compared the 2 Epics entry fees Swiss Epic vs Cape EpicThere is not much difference in costs depending which accommodation package you take.... at least Swiss Epic there are no tents.... funny enough campervan accommodation is the cheapest option you get, but this does not include breakfast only dinner....Dormitory accommodation (shared with other riders) is the next option slightly more expensive than camper vans but includes breakfast / dinner SEis 6 days vs 8 of the CE
ChUkKy Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Since that fat useless lying thieving prick opened his mouth and made a cabinet re-shuffle last night, the R75k ticket price for the internationals next year is going to be like a local race for them on their conversion rate. Checkers cheap.
MTBeer Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 When someone tells me they have done epic, this look appears on my face. cool-story-bro-house-Cool-Story-Bro.jpg Having seen the "celebs" that trudge though and finish sort of removes the "untamed" ness of it a little. Then you have to do your own laundry and bring your own water bottles to dinner, you not even get treated like you are at a premium event. you can't complain about the bit in red if you're after the bit in green. If it's untamed you want, do do a truly untamed race like RASA or R2R, etc.

(Deon) Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Any you know, soon after this has gone viral, caused a major stir and eventually reach the organisers attention, this thread and others like it will be blamed for casting a poor light on the event. And some people will believe it. Damn internet!
