sias Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Desert Dash 2017 has just opened for the Solo riders.Entries for 2 person and 4 person teams will be staggered over the next 2 weeks.http://www.desertdashnamibia.com I got my application logged, now for the 30min wait to see if I was successful.
vroommm Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 I see entry fee is plastered all over as $3000. Nowhere is mentioned what you get for your money. Any ideas? Sent from my SM-J500F using Tapatalk

Sent from my SM-J500F using TapatalkAn entry, a sore ass, and massive sense of achievement when you complete it. Is there anything else you would want?
vroommm Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 One can go for a ride anywhere, get a sore ass and get a sense of achievement without spending a cent (or very little anyway). But anyhow, enjoy! Sent from my SM-J500F using Tapatalk

Sent from my SM-J500F using TapatalkPlease answer my question. What would you like to get for your money?
vroommm Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Please answer my question. What would you like to get for your money?I dunno. Maybe food tables brimming with goodies along the way. Lekker prizegiving party at the finish. Nothing spectacular. Does that answer your question? Sent from my SM-J500F using Tapatalk

Sent from my SM-J500F using TapatalkBasically the same as with the 36One and other races - a fleece top or some kind of clothing, some bottles, some energy stuff, dinner at registration and a burger at the finish. Then, as Patch has said - you get to ride from Windhoek, through the desert, and finish on the beach in Swakop.Doing 369 (or 372km according to my GPS) in 24 hours with other like-minded crazy people, is something special, and if you haven't finished a solo yet, you cannot really knock it, or try to rationalize the cost...

It was a legitimate question. Certainly not a question that is answered on the website in any way. Sent from my SM-J500F using Tapatalk

Hows that, two questions answered and nobody has stripped their moer. Must be a Nam thing.
sias Posted June 5, 2017 Author Posted June 5, 2017 Can some confirm the R3000 included the plane ticket?
johannrissik Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 And entry, a sore ass, and massive sense of achievement when you complete it. Is there anything else you would want?At least a 'goodiebag" full of plastic, sweets, pamphlets and other crap that you don't need?
Warthog whisperer Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Sias, you guys must enjoy, after 5 solos for me will I progress to a 4 man team this year!
