vroommm Posted June 5, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vroommm Posted June 5, 2017 Share 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 MBMtbGirl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vroommm Posted June 5, 2017 Share 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 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-J500F using TapatalkThats basically exactly what you get. Hope that answers your question. Hows that, two questions answered and nobody has stripped their moer. Must be a Nam thing.
