Hi Nebukanezer, BIG respect for a 50k before work in Blizzard. With that in mind you must be pretty strong, fit and fast. Guys have already given you good advice and i would agree, get to your start bunch early and get to the front if possible. Timing is from gun to finish mat so if you start at the back of the bunch you might loose up to a minute or more just to cross the start line and by that time the front end of the bunch is flying. You will save yourself a lot off energy and some time starting at the front. 'A' still a strong group and weather permitting the sharp end of this group should dip under the 3 hour mark which is the benchmark for the more serious Argus cyclist. as for training, yes go South from camps bay toward Houtbay down Suikerbossie and over Chapmans Peak to Noordhoek and back the same way. Will give you some good hills and a good scope of the last third of the race. Other than that, just enjoy the SA sunshine, good people food and drink! All the best!
