betaboy Posted November 13 Posted November 13 I remember them talking to the course director and saying it is aimed at all gravel riders? So how do you define āallā with such a price tag? Are we just creating elitist events where cyclists are just squeezed like your last warm energy gel? What is inclusive? Do I get my Own squad of mechanics? Do I get mid race bottles? Do I get access to rent a crowd supports who will shout my name? Will I receive helicopter footage of myself struggling to get Dylan Johnson Aero tucks? Honestly asking for a friend? ChrisF 1
peepeekaitjie Posted November 14 Posted November 14 onlyĀ 45,990? that's like 1/3rd of the epic. what a bargain!

I had my money on closer to R50k. This will fill up quick.Ā Lots of rich cyclist for the picking. Myself?Ā Hard pass. I'll do my own touring through the karoo and stay in amazing places and still come in under R50k. Villiage jippoguts excluded. nathrix, Underachiever and mikkelz 3

nathrix Posted November 14 Posted November 14 Ja but it will be the TdF of gravel riding/racing/grinding/burning/flying, that title comparison alone is worth the price tag. Spinnekop 1
Skubarra Posted November 14 Posted November 14 You guys need to get in early and do this race while its still affordableĀ š babse, Dusty and ChrisF 1 2
BuffsVintageBikes Posted November 14 Posted November 14 Only R54 per kilometre, it sounds like a bargain š¤ At that price the CTCT would cost you R5 940 per entry but of course you wouldn't get fed & bed š
DieselnDust Posted November 14 Posted November 14 Guys guys it could have been much worse ā¦. Ā It could have been R46,000-00 babse, Skubarra, rock and 4 others 7
babse Posted November 14 Posted November 14 more like HEART BURN with that price tag... BuffsVintageBikes 1

So how do you define āallā with such a price tag? You just misunderstood the message. āAllā refers to ability or level and not financial means.Ā
jcza Posted November 14 Posted November 14 My prediction, entries will sell out within 24 hours. Should have priced it at R50k. Left money on the table here.Ā DieselnDust, Underachiever, gerriemtb and 1 other 4
ChrisF Posted November 14 Posted November 14 Ā Per rider ... 45 vs 57 ... Ā Ā All inclusive ... seems this actually includes meals, drinks, tent, shuttle, etc etc ... Ā Massage and bike service not included. Ā YES ... luxury accomodation upgrades are available ... DieselnDust 1
daveno7 Posted November 14 Posted November 14 gravel racing and events...the marketing in cycling is great...just think as local riders you possibly know the local roads to ride... DieselnDust, Spinnekop and ChrisF 3
