2009 Race Entry Fees
A quick summary of what most of my expenses look like for an average endurance racer chasing a dream to go out to 24 hour nationals this season. Not included are costs associated with wear and tear on bikes. Of course, a few races could be eliminated to lower the expense that include travel and lodging, which would ultimately make my wife(major sponsor) really happy.
***RACES/EVENTS/RIDING
>>Trans Iowa v5 - No Entry Fee(Lots of Fun w/ good people)
>>24 Hours of 9 Mile Solo - $280.00 before March 20th

It looks like a good time(year) to ebay all the extra parts & pieces I have in the basement along with a bike or two.

i feel you wallets pain... here i thought the bike was supposed to be the expensive part, Mountain state cup series, 8-9 races $55 each!
hope all is well back home
All is well when I'm out biking. If you get back to Wisco at all, let me know.
Where do you get $280? I see the entry for Moab/9 mile as $310 at the cheapest.
wow. $$ 280 to laird for the "new" 24-9 solo ?? Natl Endurance events at $$ 130 ??
these type events grew from grassroots, to now near ironman pricing schedules. i am what - going to go do one with my family ?? don't think so. 24-9 will not be the same, i do not think - laird cancelled how many of his races again last season at the last minute ?? he priced out the very people who made the sport !!
on a brighter note - we have it so good with wems, wors, and the local point-to-points. . . . . . . . . . . .
Charly - check out this link to GG. http://grannygear.com/Registration/register.php?race=ninemile&year=2009
What are we going to get that is so much different from what Team Sports presented when Kevin Eccles ran 24-9 for an entry that is 3x as much?
Interesting -- the pricing table says $310, but once you're in registration it's $280 until 3/20. Hmmm ...
Big Bear too.
The GG site seems to be confusing at the moment. Hopefully things will get cleared up so that it's easier to navigate through.
Looks like I will be in the pit crew this year. Too rich for me!
Looks like everyone will be signing up for the 12 hour solo, only $60
Itz outrageous!!! They outta be ashamed of themselves...The Arrowhead 135 is $150 and that includes tons of free food and even a free night in a beautiful lodge...plus free t-shirts, etc...The WEMS is the best deal in town...
