Mellow Posted March 5, 2009 Share They will need to take up a new strategy pretty soon... With so many new staged race events raising the bar and new ones popping up many an amateur rider will rather pay and train for the afordable events. The epic will always be expensive and a unique experience because it attract the best in the world and their sponsors will pay. I do believe that they are going to start losing the money stream coming from the amateur riders. Just the cost of your time on training and the event itself is well over 100k. Nothing beats a good challange, but the epic isnt the only one out there and other international races look very good. (Return)* ticket to europe costs R4500 - changeing your rider id costs R8500 - mmm Mellow2009-03-05 06:26:35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beren Posted March 5, 2009 Share I always thought I wanted to do the epic - and then one day I read the rules on their website. Not a chance would I support them! It was bad enough I paid my R250 sub for Duzi Mfula and they didn't even bother to change the riders details! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
