I see on the flyer that I got at the Burger for the 99'er that if you decide to ride a 20km route you will pay R90,00 early entry and R130,00 late entry.

 

121km---R160

77km-----R100

39km-----R90

 

Seems that money has become the only reason some races are still being held. These people should................................

And ask them what the hell has a male got to do with the #$%$#@#$% pantyliners we got in our so-called goodie bags. Maybe stuff it up their...........

 

Second year in a row this happens!!!!

Word on the street is, ?It was to stop bleeding noses if a fight broke out again?

this event is to raise funds for the school but it seems as if they are pricing themselves out of the market. i did the 77k this year on a tandem with my son, they won't be seeing me next year.

Last year the gave me a device ladies can use if they feel the need to pee standing up.

Oh is dit wat dit was, ek dog dis bomverbande (daai tipe wat ons in die army dae gebruik het) het nogal myne in die saddle bag gehou tydens die race just in case.

My last three 99 ers:

 

1.  Heatwave + block headwind:  abandoned just outside Malmesbury (the first and only time I have ever abandoned a ride)

2.  Freaking rained cats and dogs when we started, then rode the entire boring 120 k's cold and damp.

3.  Last year:  howling gale out on the route (I recall sitting in a bunch, hiding out of the wind and doing about 14 km/h)

 

Probably my least favourite ride by a long shot.  At that price.... forget it.

You guys are very funny

I asked the same question about the pantyliners in the mens goodie bags, and the response was that it is actually very usefull to stick on a wound (anti bacterial and what have you)........ Oooh I can only imagine

 

As for the 99er - also not sure if I would do it again, vowed this year after inhaling tons of veldfire smoke that I would not punish myself like that again....but mind you ek s? dit baie

[FanieFiets]

wat is die prysgeld vir die 39 km? 

[ChrisH]

Don't complain. The Jailbreak Triathlon is R565.00 entry with zero road closure.

 

They can stick that where the sun don't shine.

160 bucks is a bit steep, not sure what the Argus/Pick n pay Mafia charges these days.

[mdk555]

Their rationale is that the ride is a seeding event and with it comes extra costs.

Fully agree.  These longer tri's are getting way too pricey.
