Old route is Vissershok and Odendal - but out on Wellington rather than Addrely

I find it easier than Burger - Helshoogte after 1km REALLY does not work for me. On 99er when I hit Vissershok I'm nice and warm

I will be there in December on Wednesdays (and maybe Tuesdays and Thursdays :-)

for me it takes the endurance bit out of the race - feels more like two 100km races with some stop in between. I think I might bring my skottlel along and make some boerewors rolls for the protein fix

So guys what are your thoughts on the 30 minute stop at Ashton that won't count against you team?? Are you gonna use this rule to your advantage or just gonna ignore it and take a short break and continue. The time gets stopped when the sixth rider crosses the timing mat at the stop point - so are you going to send your 6 strongest ahead to stop the time and let the other six then catch up?

I like! But I'm from chickenvania - neighbours of Sufferlandria. We were once (as you will recall) one big happy community and then the big "fallout" - but we better not talk about that in public

why do I have to suffer if so many got their sub x on the old route! (where x < 5)

So the rumour is out - Boyes Drive not included for 2013 and back to old route!!!

why can't we get coverage like this for the other tours?? ps - Wiggins looking good as is Evans - Frank does not like these time trials!

Just been told my chain and cassette of 7 months needs replacement - that is about 7000 to 8000 km. It is Ultegra. Is this normal? Will Dura-ace last longer?

I would say most important is to have a witness - otherwise he will just deny it......

I try and train more often - so put in more miles. Also include some gym work. Effort is less than pre-season. Only way I keep motivated is by inviting - some sort of buddy system.

Great!

I did a 2:65!

Berry what was your time and start group?

Did a 3:05 out of D group - who in D got sub 3??

I will closely track my resting heart-rate and what my body tells me - I'm not married to the Argus - there is always next year!

I'm ordering that Steak from Spain (Contador special) as we speak!

what silly talk is this?!

Hi Guys, Was on Antibiotics till Wednesday and now on Cortisone for chest and throat. I'm doing the Argus on Sunday - must I stop the Cortisone before then - do anybody know the negative effect it will have on me? Any advice will be appreciated!!!

Will be in Allan Gray kit - what time are you guys gonna be in chute? 5:30?

go hard Tuesday for 80% of normal route - easy spin on Thursday (with 2 or 3 90second pushes) and then loosen legs on Saturday with 30 minutes high rev spin

You guys must enjoy - the road is gonna be busy with cyclists putting in last effort for next weekend
