Given the prices of audaxes, it's a bit steep.

unsupported need more help than supported
-
So they want to charge you more for a GPX and a pat on the back?
-
Even the "supported" option requires you to bring your own support car with two adults per cyclist/team. And pay £275 for the privilege. What a ridiculous "cycling" event.

Seems weird.
I just looked at Race Across Italy and they charge a bit less for unsupported.
I thought about doing it a few years ago, but was glad that I didn't as the weather was awful that year. There were reports about one or two of the support teams needing help from unsupported riders after their cars broke down, so I can't see any logic!
EDIT - just looked at Race Around Poland: unsupported €200, supported €600

Seeing a growing trend here in Ireland for supported ultra events(Donegal 555, Wild Mayo Ultra 600) now adding an unsupported section which is great for riders like myself.
Problem is they charge more for the unsupported than the supported. Donegal 555 is €275 Vs €330 respectively.
I questioned the Mayo guys re pricing and they came back at me saying the unsupported need more help than supported which I can't see as true as unsupported have no vehicle or crew paperwork to deal with.
Is it unreasonable to be annoyed at their pricing structures or a good arguement against it?
