[quote="Antloony"][size=200]HOW MUCH[/size]

Feck me they really are taking the urine.....the worrying thing is there are people that will pay it. Whatever next, 5K for a wet weekend in Skegness including a fish supper by the sea front. Idiots.

Or £20 to ride HOA on local roads when you can ride a better route on the Old Ports Reliability for £5 the following week.

yea, but Rapha aren't dumb, they know by charging this amount only a certain type of person will probablygo for it and it keeps the riffraph out of it, so if you do go on it you can be sure of like minded company. The price is for exclusivity.

as others have said, it's not bad value for the chance to network with like-minded fund managers.

think of it as the new golf.
