Long Wheel Base Posted March 23, 2018 Share Yasssssssss..... Okay so yesterday I remembered that the Emperors Classic is actually this weekend and, as some serious post-AGHAS blues made me forget to enter, I headed off to the website to find the late-entry info... I'm still chocking on my coffee…and it took me approximately 7 seconds to be cured of my untimely FOMO... I’m not a moungat (no, really!) but plainly put, there is no way in heaven that I will pay half a grand (R415 entry, R60 late entry penalty) to do a non-road closure event, through the Mieliedriehoek, presented by a company who is said to sometimes battle to maintain high event standards. Granted, the R60 odd bucks for the late entry is my bad but there is just no way that the product can justify the price here. Sunday will see me do a Suikerbosrand loop or 2 with a proper brekkie and some beers afterwards, with a few coins left to contribute to my Amashova kitty… Pity though, I heard Emperors is a lekke one…That's ASG for you. But they will survive because a lot of people will still pay. They might not agree with the steep price but they still pay. I am sometime one of them, I did most of their races at the end of last year. I didn't want to pay but needed to race so you maar put it in dry and pay. Even though this one is 8km from home I will be giving it a miss as I don't need to race right now. I always enjoyed this race as I don't climb well so it suits me scotty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich990 Posted March 24, 2018 Share So while getting my bike ready this evening I realized I forgot to collect my race number. Anyone know if you can collect in the morning? I mailed Ilse and tried to call but no answer to my call. Really hope I don't miss the race coz of that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always enjoyed this race as I don't climb well so it suits me 2km from my house, but no ways I’m paying that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryvdM Posted March 24, 2018 Share Why do people who think ASG charge to much go to such lengths to let every one else know this is the case? Bad case of FOMO? Pall Catt, the_roadie, Nibali and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
