AndreZA Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 why does everybody want a water bottle. You can only use two at a time, max. Maybe if they improve the quality of the bottles yes, but these locally produced crap like the Hollard bottles (it's the easiest way to discribe it, nothing to do with the company) are terrible. .
davetapson Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 the spar womans challenge(10km run) gives you a t-shirt plus LOTS of food stuffs from spar inclucing mags' date=' that days news paper AND condoms PLUS the gel!!! he he he he[/quote'] Hoo boy Punt... better watch out boet.

You know, you make it the Friday evening because you are gonna ride the next morning but don't but then use it on the Sunday. The drink then tastes like plastic. I now use The Rav-X bottles. They are the same as the BBB ones just the logos are different. There is no plastic taste and they actually fit in the bottle cages. The sad part is that they are R50 ea. .
Tankman Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 No more water bottles thanks, I have more than enough. Their quality normally sucks.No more 2 or 3 month old magazines thanks. No more samples of cream and useless stuff thanks. Come to think of it, I dont recall ever looking forward to a goodie bag.How about they keep it and reduce the entry fee or give us something more useful. A pen, bottle opener or whatever else mentioned here before.
HappyMartin Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 The best goodie bag ever was for the Kremetart. bunch of bananas, 4 avos, 4 guavas, big bag of nuts, oranges and so on. Could hardly lift it. The worst was the last Argus. An antique magazine and a bunch of cr@p you would do your best to avoid at the traffic lights. The bar one was good but the rest was useless. I like the socks idea. You can never have too many bottles. How about chain lube and stuff like that for bikes
scotty Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Agree on the Kremertart they always have nice goodie contents.
crider Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I think something you can use during the weekend of the race.. like sunscreen.. you always forget it!! Chocolates!! Lube, pen and stuff like that. and the t-shirt.

Taps Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Forget the sunscreen and other girlie stuff. All we need is a wet T-shirt and someone to put it on
Road Hog Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I wonder what Santa will do with these wish lists ? Confuse him right back to the North Pole, especially the sunscreen and wet T-shirts !! How about something usefull, like race info ??

Mrs Pickled Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 How could I forget?! Last year's Sondala MTB ride had a spectacular goodie bag!!!!! I recommend entering just for the goodie bag
