Absolute waste of time and the worst possible venue for number collection. Never, ever,ever,ever,ever,ever again.

It took me 45 minutes to get to the SCC yesterday evening after work, so got there at 6.30pm, and they wouldnt let me in.

 

I mean, for heavens sake, they closed at 18.00 hours, at least stay open till 8pm and give people an opportunity to get there after work, or must we all just disappear during office hours so they can go home early.??

 

Disgracefull, for a Johannesburg based operation, where its known there is heavy traffic and people work till 5pm, its just a show of incompetance and "couldnt give a d**n attitude."   

 

This morning I asked my wife to go fetch the numbers as "Yes, I work on Saturdays as well" and she spent the best part of an hour in the Sandton city area in traffic getting into the centre, and getting out again.

 

I told her to just leave it and we will forget riding, I need this aggro like I need a second head.!

Anyway, she persevered and collected the numbers, but she is better than me, I would have just gone home.!

 

Said, she didnt really stop anywhere to look, but thought the expo was small and nothing caught her eye. 

 

Anyway, rant over, but thats me and the 94.7 - I have other things to do than sit around in traffic and be inconvenienced by a bunch of goons who want my money but make it difficult for me to support.!

Hmmm. I feel pretty much the same widget, also not easy for me to make it during office hours as I spend a lot of time on the road seeing customers as far away as Harrismith this week.

 

I also had to brave the morning shopper traffic at Sandton this morning before dashing off to a Kids party at midday with my daughter.

 

I hate crowds so I squeezed in and escaped out as quickly as possible, didnt stop, look, feel, watch, nothing.!

 

In my opinion Kyalami was a much better venue, and Yes, I also agree stay open till 20.00 hours in the evening, give us people who cant just disappear during the day an opportunity to get there in the evening when we are a bit more relaxed and not rushed.

Was very average.

 

Joke of the Show has to be the Ferrari Bikes.

So i was expecting Ferrari MTb's to be specced like, well Ferarri's XTR etc, did you notice the hard tail was Shimano Deore componenents and a Suntour XCR Fork. for R25K. A GT Avalanche 2 is the same spec and costs R5K. Go Figure.  Biggest joke.

 

nothing Mind Blowing. Maybe i am jaded just haivng finished off at the JHB Intl Motor Show, dunno

In this day and age of electronic communication I really don't see the need for any number collection.

For ALL races why can't we buy a number board from CSA and use it for mtb or road. It can be mounted on the frame of a bike like the big roadies or on the bars like mtb.

 

Then have someone scanning it at an entrance to starting pens to check if you've paid an entry fee. If you havent paid an entry confiscate the board.

 

My sister in law eventually collected my numbers for me as I was away, but she said 'twas a huge mission getting there.

 

WHAT PURPOSE DOES A NUMBER COLLECTION SERVE?

Some photos. Where were all the other manufacturers Angry??? What about displaying products for noobs? Maybe they sell enough products, so no need to display there products and get noobs into cycling... Thank you to the manufacturers/importers that made an effort to be at the expo Clap
