Jase619 Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Remember when there was such a huge demand for the cycle tour that they implemented the "Lotto" system?! Now you can enter just 1 week before the event. Times have changed hey and it's not so cheap to travel from up country. Saw someone post on facebook that they should lower the entry fees, that will help demand. In reality, for non WCers, that cost barely registers on the total budget.

Yeah the entry is basically the cheapest item on my list. In fact, compared to other races, the entry is on par. So I don't feel it is too much*. *Compared to other races of similar distance.

Not sure what 94.7(or whatever the hell they are calling it now) costs, but I'm guessing same same? Better than paying R600 to run 56km Long Wheel Base and DieselnDust 2

Better than paying R600 to run 56kmThe latter is much better value for money... it takes a way above average runner to manage that in even under 5 hours! Edited February 25, 2020 by SeaBee
Jase619 Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 The latter is much better value for money... it takes a way above average runner to manage that in even under 5 hours! True, just not sure if the jump from R500 to R600 is worth it though, but I suppose self sponsorship comes at a cost
Jase619 Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Bump. Are there really only 38 hubbers doing the race? Or only 38 frequenting this thread? Or only 38 willing to put their names on the list? Okes are hiding it seems, the last two tabs are rather empty. We don't judge here. . . MDJ and Long Wheel Base 2
