Rouxenator Posted May 5 Share 12 hours ago, ChrisF said: Hello ou maat. Was good to see you there. @KB280DT and I had fun on the 30km route. Short, but propper RED route .... you had to stay focussed ... Saw lots of people falling off in the latter half of the race .... mostly on the loose surface on some bends. Will post some more pics tomorrow. It was good - but being Entry Ninja the registration was woefully slow....

patham Posted May 5 Share My local trailhead looking nice and green after a good wet season. Sometimes it’s only the dodgy septic tank soakaway (the barricaded area) that always looks lush! SilverRider and ChrisF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed that the event registrations and the CSA payments were a bit of bumble at a single point. I registered online, and gave my CSA number when I collected my board. Could not have been any faster. @KB280DT had to join the line, or was that a bundle, for the CSA payment .... Rouxenator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you just caught it at a bad time, we did late entry plus all the extra payments and it went quick. Bearley had time to scribble my details on the page.

Bearley had time to scribble my details on the page. Was there at 7:30 and the line was very long, poor people with late entries first had to queue for a entry form, then queue again for a bike number. This is typical of Entry Ninja events; I have taken it up with them time after time. No result. 29 minutes ago, ChrisF said: Did you register online, or at the event ?

I detest giving any money to CSA so I avoid it where I can, but this time I did pay for that too online. Last year I told then "Ja. I'll come pay that now my wallet is in the car, just give me my number 🤫" The problem is they had one list of online entries and one person marking your name off. That does not work. You need at least 3. Nonetheless it was an awesome ride, so far I have done the long at Slanghoek, the short at Botha and the long at Du Toit. I look forwards to doing the long at Botha next time that is on the calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O okay we were there just after 7h so a buddy asked and they brought us the forms, we filled it in the line and there was only about 4 people in front of us.

ChrisF Posted May 6 Share For those doing a couple of events per year. Well worth doing your maths. At R60 for a day license it soon makes financial sense to rather register with CSA. Registering at the event, and not having to go stand in the CSA line is just an absolute bonus. It is a tax I will rather just pay once a year, then forget about them for 12 months. cadenceblur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
