Yes it is expensive, but, and it's a big but, the logistics to arrange these races are immense. Plus, the organisers earn a living from this so they have to make a profit as well.

I am just saying its getting to much for me, so i am opting out at this stage. And i really really want to go ride JacquesJ and NotSoBigBen 2
mrcg Posted Monday at 02:19 PM Posted Monday at 02:19 PM When the price is hidden everywhere on the website and only revealed at the enter stage just before payment, is a dead giveaway that it's pricey (unless I missed it somewhere else). Always a turnoff for me to have to hunt down the price. Love the race I've done a few times, and still want to crack the 6.4h time. But yeah, entry is only one cost factor to consider......

HdB Posted Monday at 02:59 PM Posted Monday at 02:59 PM Dryland hinted at Black Friday specials for the Prince George, so maybe hold thumbs and toes for something for Attakwas as well?

Ispeed_V Posted Tuesday at 11:56 AM Posted Tuesday at 11:56 AM Did this race in 2015. Vowed never to do it again. So far I have remained true to my word. Long may it last. JacquesJ and W@nted 2
