Rowl Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 I entered on Friday but have not been able to pay and finalise, as Entry Ninja's credit card portal is down. Apparently they are working on it. Anyone have any more info/better update?
TALUS Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) I didn't know abou the early bird thingy.... A little Hub exception?? Please.. I think it is time to swop out the Panorama.IF I can get accommodation I suppose. Edited July 2, 2018 by TALUS
Rowl Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 @BigJohnSwan please could you assist on the payments issue? Then I also sent a mail on Friday to enquire about the tented accommodation, but no reply yet?

Karma is tough on this one. Nothing like your saga but … My new Lynskey that I ordered with this in mind got lost (in Miami....). Now a new bike is being built. Tried to book accommodation for 2 days. All failed due to electronic?software crap and now I cannot get my entry in.Man I am looking at a lot of punctures or something if I ever get to the start.

Entry completed and thank you BigJohn for the voucher. It was not your fault that I cocked up, but helping me with an entry was both unexpected and much appreciated. In a saturated market it is this attitude of yours that will ensure that the Swartberg Fondo will thrive. I look forward to finally doing it next year. Rowl, V12man, Underachiever and 5 others 8

No worries !Your "early commute incident" with your bike was one of the catalysts that made me decide to pull the trigger and offer a tented village to address the accommodation issue in the town. Hopefully we can create a great vibe on the event field with lots of food, beer and a big after-party. We are organising a pre-ride on Friday and post-ride picnic affair for the Sunday.

Underachiever Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 So I've just seen that the Panorama Tour, that clashed with the GF in 2018, was moved to June in 2019. So, can we still enter for the GF? Rowl 1
