Just because it is the norm does not mean you should accept it as standard! Always look for was to do things smarter/faster. With that said - no flack to give from me. For now it is what it is - hope to enjoy my 20th ride, albeit on my slow MTB with knobbies. My race snake days long done - now just enjoy every ride I do with my son. What a privilege! Brings tears to my eyes!

 

Considering it has been the norm for many a year, with very little view to change despite what we may say on here, it would probably mean it is the standard and any deviation from this is just that, an exception.

While I agree that it would be better, there are probably a myriad of reasons as to why they keep doing it like this, some we may not be aware of.

Unfortunately we can't seem to change things even on this forum, so complaining about something on a platform that the organisers may or may not see is a waste of time.

Shall be atop Jan Smuts again this year with our informal supporter station.

So - still no QR code SMS received - not me or my son and we both have seeding mails. I guess it is now just going to EXPO to collect number with supported documentation - excluding "this QR code" thing! I so hope we do not get flack at expo entry! Not in the mood for this!

I might have missed you saying so... but have you/your son, booked your EXPO time slots?

Yup we have confirmed time slots and also received a mail to confirm. This mail however does not contain any QR code. It just confirms you have a booking slot.

????‍♂️Well aware that QR code will be sent by mail and SMS - have been checking both. NOTHING!

I too have not received the QR code. I gave them a call where they confirmed my name and phone number and was told that they will WhatsApp it to me. I received a WhatsApp from them confirming my Expo time slot. I’m hoping this will be enough to get into the expo.

No SMS here. Mailed and asked when it will arrive and was assured it will ????‍♂️

FYI for anyone wondering about it:

Substitutions can now only be done in-person at number collection. You can make a booking to enter the Expo without a valid entry behind your name.
