What make of shower is that? Would love to get one

Congrats... but is that so you can drown out the next 18?

Okay i see the Simpson, and Astrix and Obelix... but clearly my comic characters database isnt that big

no idea... what is it

where do u get it from?

Songo ran the whole section whilst the entire chasing pack rode it to the top. Although it didnt matter in the end they cetainly made up gound on Burry and CS. I think Songo may have got it wrong.

Sorry never mind. See its the 2011 results and 2012 results missing... Ooops

Just looked at the overall results and i see that they showing 360Life as non-finishers. Shows only David George as having completed the event... it must be a mistake or is there something that i missed?

Simple maths... 600 teams x R39,800 (yes thats the price for 2013) = +R23.9 million Sponsorships = +R13million TV rights and advertising = +R??? Less prize money of -R700k Less operating costs of say -R15m Food etc mostly sponsored so would put it at a profit of R21m?? Not bad!! But good for him, niche mkt etc and a race well done and marketed. So cudos, wish i had thought of it.

Have to agree. If they were only racing against Songo, you could say its early days, but now they have to beat all the other top teams. I'm affraid i have to agree that their race is already run.

FFS, i know weight is a big issue in their lives, but to consistantly have mechanicals means they are doing something wrong. Time for conservative like the Bulls did for so many years. I seriously cant believe that carrying an extra couple grms will make that much difference when u consider what they have lost in the last 2 years due to lack of reliability?

Day 2 of the Route69 mtn experience this year. Developed a hate for dry grassy patches.

There is a BIG difference between a steroid and anabolic steroid... if u dont believe me GOOGLE away... 1.Steroids are terpenoid lipids that characterize a sterane core. On the other hand, anabolic steroids are hormonal steroids that are related to the testosterone hormone in particular. 2.Steroids initiate metabolism for production, modification and consumption of energy, whereas, anabolic steroids have androgenic characteristics leading to growth and enhancement of masculine characteristics in the human body.

It is readily available in SA... and yes it is a steroid Athletes use clenbuterol for two primary reasons: 1. To increase metabolic speed. Clenbuterol is shown to directly stimulate fat cells and accelerate the breakdown of triglycerides to form free fatty acids. 2. Clenbuterol is also known to increase strength and endurance of muscles by allowing more efficient transportation of oxygen into cells.

On a 2x10 you dont need a 22t chainring as the cluster is usually bigger than the 9spd. The 10 speed clusters can have 11X36, with the 36t compensating for the bigger front chainring. I have a 30/44 in the front and 11/36 on the back and still climb hills no problem. Just play with the rear ratio's and u should come pretty close to the 3x9 levels.

I get the impression they are no longer posting other results at all. A search engine should be able to accomodate the Argus searches, and show other history. They have always done it in the past?

I see the web page has changed, and they only have Argus times posted. Where have all the other results gone?

Apparently the Otter Trail run was very littered after the race. If adventure/sports people dont have respect for the environment, we just are'nt going to have the free use of it in the end? Of all the places in J'burg, Suikerbos was probably the best for safety and good hill training... what a massive loss!!

All depends on the weather. Wind guru says 23 knotts on Sat night, dying down to 8 - 10 on Sunday. Hopefully thats the case oltherwise breaking 3hours will be an achievement let alone 2:45?

Taper for Argus i presume? Would'nt change this weeks training compared to all the other weeks prior to a race.... never change something close to a race, it will just mess it up. Stick with the same tried and tested training.

VB been faster than A and VA in 90% of the races in Jhb this year, so unless it becomes a bit of a "sightseeing" ride, most of the group should be fine. Back markers invariably get caught.

Poor showing. All the weekend race times are up for other events. Maybe use Spectrum Sport next year?

Still no results anywhere or am i missing something?

Likewise... how did you enjoy Sat & Sun? Your partner seemed in good spirits and she's a solid rider? I'm just going to hazard a guess here, but seems to me like they gave everyone riding the mini (Sunday ride) an extra 15 minutes... probably a timing error

Timing was exactly spot on. Just wish they would now post the results.... cant be that hard to get a consolidated sheet out?
