DieselnDust Posted March 20 Share Fillers are on repeat now Fini’s chain issues are not a good advert for Shimano. None of the front running SRAM teams have had this sort of mechanical issue 🍿🥤 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shebeen Posted March 20 Share 1 hour ago, DieselnDust said: Good question. Food is already booked and paid for. The have a demand curve based on previous events so they already know how the meals demand tapers off after day2. No saving there. tents are already bought and paid for. man hours is covered by volunteers, who pay to be there if I recall correctly. i think it’s just about maintaining the #untamed epicness mystique This is how I would run it. village 1:100% capacity village 2:60% capacity + 20% contingency village 3:50% capacity + 20% contingency More people pull out than expected and you save on the contingency allocation, which is not paid for upfront. I don't know if they work out beforehand if you're staying in the tent village or BnB yourself, but they must be a critical count on the first night to see how many unallocated tents there are.

ajnkzn Posted March 20 Share Another dof question - all entries for Epic include tent and accommodation I assume? Surely in terms of; Costs of tents, ablutions, communal marquees, fencing etc etc Admin Food waste Water waste (bike washes, food clean ups showers etc) Green credentials The organisers should drop the price of a standard entry (self arranged accommodation and food etc which is what many (half the field?) people seem to do? And offer a fully catered entry at current pricing for those who do want the full experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running those on the gravel bike, must say they don't last very long, I'd probably avoid them if I was at that level in such kind of race. But if they paid my salary then... I'd just make sure to put a fresh one every day and bring spare quicklinks with 😜 Edited March 20 by Jbr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you're one of the guys who stays up late at night wondering why DSTV doesn't offer a sports only package at R500 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajnkzn Posted March 20 Share No I have a Premium DSTV package but thanks for checking 👍. As a business owner, one of the best ways to make money is to cut wasteful expenditure which was my point. Headshot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
