DuncanCT Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 1. You aren't the only person in the queue so it's not only "your" minute being wasted2. There isn't only 1 printing station So you can't simply take the time it takes you to get your number and multiply that by 35000.Although an inconvenience of waisting my time I wasn't taking about the time since I've joined the que but from when i give them my chip until i get my race pack. I'm not the smartest cookie but do understand that there are more than one printer. At my estimate there are about 35 'lanes'. So assume that many printers. I'll check on my way out. mikkelz 1

Duane_Bosch Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Any good specials at the Expo?Hahahaha. It's doubtful anyone is in a shopping mood.

openmind Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 So, I’ve left the expo with no number. Got to get back to work (in Stellenbosch). About 3.5h total in traffic and an hour waiting in the number queue, all wasted. The organisers better have my number at the start or I will race with my own homemade number.

jessican Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 I've been at the front now for 10 minutes and the printer is crazy. It's super slow, it doesn't print out some numbers, it prints duplicates of others, the poor staff are at a loss, oy . . . Sheffield and Vetplant 2
Sheffield Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Any possibility that some of the UCI MTB World Cup riders will be making an appearance at our World's Biggest Funride on Sunday? Hope so, Nino was there last year and unfortunately got blown away. We're buddies you know, I shook his hand once. Wannabe, Bat and Duane_Bosch 3

i24 Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 I just got back to the office - without numbers. Waited about an hour and saw 3 riders leave with numbers. There were at least 20 cyclists in the queue in front of me. This is not slow, it is totally broken. They should close the doors of the Expo until such time as it is fixed. There is zero communication from the organizers beyond the SMS that everyone received and was quoted here earlier. No explanation if it is a computer problem, network issue or just a an ink/paper/printer one. STAY AWAY FROM THE EXPO until there is confirmation that the problem has been fixed. Cadre, jandemoerin and Ferro 3
Grayskull Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 STAY AWAY FROM THE EXPO until there is confirmation that the problem has been fixed. So you are not allowed INTO the expo at all?Or its just that you cannot get your numbers? Some of us just go for the "specials"
Edition 507 Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 A mates dad has been there over an hour and still no number.. He is also 73 and there are no special lines for the elderly...God I hope your mates dad lives long enough to get his number! FootballingCyclist, Bat, T-Bag68 and 3 others 6
Edition 507 Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 I thought they would have learned from the Ride4Sight number printing f*ckup! Bat and Vetplant 2
