You'll catch more fish with bait on your hook...

Abilities, expectations for the day, etc.

I'll speak for Kelson (you're welcome Amigo 😉), this is his abilities,

Expectations he wants to win it of course like all other amateur road cyclists & he definitely has the ability to go all the way to the line if not he'll contribute to the team to make it, not bad for a +55 guy.

Bad CTCT this year, but general 2021 results not too bad and since you just beat me by 11s in Velddrif you clearly have form... We're still sorting out details regarding our squad for RoT. Will keep you in mind if we start roping in individuals. 👌

Why is it so difficult to see how much an entry costs?

I was scolded for asking this a while back regarding another event. 

I just keep quiet in the corner now.

It's so dumb. Why isn't it advertised?

R6000 per team of 10 or whatever as part of the VITAL information?

Instead it's clickety click, clickety click here, send us an email, jump through a banana and we will send you an invite that self destructs in 30 seconds.

Maybe ask @Matt or @Nick if they would kindly add an enter fee "block" to the Events template.

 

The best we can do when listing an event is to refer back to the "event website" ....   Then again, most entry "blocks" on the event template are LINKS to the events website, so if they hide their entry fee it is not going to be easy for the BikeHub to highlight it.

 

 

AGREED .... it irks when you have to go half way through EntryNinja to find the entry costs ....

 

 

 

While I on this topic - @Matt what are the contact details if an events organiser wants to "promote" their event on the forum.  Sorry if I got the term wrong, I noticed there is some way for the organisers to get more exposure ....

The entry fee block is there.

For this particular event, I created the entry. I simply don't have time to find and list all the finer details. I tend to only fill in the required fields. The hope is that the event organiser will do the creating and complete all the details.

On your second point, events can promote themselves by:

1. Creating an event in the Events Calendar - it's free (this also creates the forum topic).
2. Engaging in the forum topic.
3. If they want to promote the event elsewhere on the site, the details are all here.

i click enter now

then more information which downloaded a .pdf file with all the event details and cost as per April 22 event date.

I assume that this fee may change due to inflationary increases....??

 

But the entry fee is there if your disc brake are not dragging

Love riding these races but the cost is getting prohibitive.

That said... Any team need a middle aged mid pack rider whose strongest feature is size? (I displace a lot of air) ....

Am looking to ride if any team is short a rider. I see Kelson is also looking for a ride, we both make a good pair of diesel engines for any team (only I have a turbo switch when needed 🙂) Guy 082 924 4253
