Tumbleweed Posted September 16, 2008 Share I know R245 is a lot but in the bigger scheme of things' date=' I think its worth it. It still costs more than R245 per cyclist to put the event on the road. ? If you think back to the early 94.7's when you had to make your way through vehicles, fighting with the Sunday morning shoppers who could care less for cyclists. ? I would'nt mind it being a bit cheaper but its still a great race[/quote'] really? sjoe, that ms harford is a nice lady... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Posted September 16, 2008 Share Cape Epic? Work ou those costs- not just entry- Pre race training and races in preperation, travel expences, drinks, gels, tyres, we are talking ANYTHING up to R45 000. Now- Were does the 94.7 entry leave you?

dirtrider Posted September 16, 2008 Share How can you even dare to compare a woozie roadie race with a MTB race ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIRR Posted September 16, 2008 Share It'll be interesting to see what the entries for this year will be. If the poll here is anything to go by there should be a fair drop in numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Posted September 16, 2008 Share Not comparing as you put it- Putting costs into perspective- These roadies complain too much- Thats why I recon we are in another class- But putting that aside- iF YOU WANT TO ENJOY WHAT YOU DO, MONEY DOES NOT MATTER...

scotty Posted September 17, 2008 Share Its all in pesrpective, the longer one ride the more one pays (fun fairs, go carts etc). The way i see it at R245.00 i get more value than the sub3 speedies, and those riding 5hrs or more really get good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nettie R Posted October 29, 2008 Share Tanya Harford said yesterday in her interview on the supercycling show they're paying for the infrastructure on the property where the race will finish. Maybe that's why the entry is so expensive, she building a new finish venue.(Will I get discount if I buy a house there, having invested in the place already?)Why did the Kyalami venue go sour years ago? nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bateleur1 Posted October 29, 2008 Share To my knowledge Kyalami got new owners and they had different ideas than the 94.7 organisers and think they wanted to charge too much for holding the event there. nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they not only lost the finish, but also the expo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
