butafly Posted August 27, 2008 Share take this for example:if you are a licensed cyclist belonging to a club and want to ride PPA League events it will cost you ?R2 000 for the year before you have sat your bum down on your bike. PPA member ? R200 (can't remember the exact fees) Club member ? R200 (are there clubs that charge less?)<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />CSA license ? R150League numbers & entry ? R600 (12 months / 12 events and that is if it hasn't increased lately)Race entry fee - R80 x 12 = R960 (average entry fee)my 2 cents - why are we the only region where there are 2 cycling bodies running the sport iow ppa /club membership/ CSA license / League fee are all duplications of each other. What does the R600 league entry fee get you ? a race number and frame number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlo_sg Posted August 27, 2008 Share And speaking of Entry Fees...How about PPA's Hillclimb, R60 (if you a member) for 4km - R15/kmAnd it a closed road, so there is no need for traffic marshalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Zone Posted August 27, 2008 Share Tell me where we are not being ripped of at the moment; petrol, food, home loan, chicks you name it everything is a lot more expensive than last year. I was looking at doing the Clanwilliam triathlon but the price was a bit steep for such a short distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bored girl Posted August 27, 2008 Share I wish our race entries are R80 on average.....try R130-180 a race for rd (not including the 94.7 in that cos it will shoot it sky high) and R60-R120 for MTB.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started racing about 12/13 years ago my brother told me: "now you have to start to budget for races....." man was he right, but now that budget is getting smaller and smaller so yeah, "selective" shall be the name of the game from now on....
