sure is better than crying in your pretzels that is so so close, maybe next time!?

Another thing which grates my tits is those guys who arrive late at the start and then push their way to the front...if you want to be at the front get to the start early!! It is rather funny when these clowns are dropped on the first climb:-)

Yep, Midmar is your best option (either camping or in the chalets)...much better than Albert Falls in my opinion, maybe because I live in the awesome village of Howick Howick trails are great, and Karkloof trails are also here. About a 25min drive to the WC track or about 1hr by bike, mainly downhill

Our whole team for the DC got one and they worked really well...no problem with my ISP frame (didn't have to worry about cutting any of my seatpost off which is always a plus ), only issue I found may be the weight which is rather heavy compared to a bike bag... If you are going to try and squeeze in you bike in the box as part of your 20kg allowance it won't work!

Hi all, as we have missed the substitution cut-off date (24 Feb) I am sure there are many out there who are not going to ride at this stage and their entries will be wasted. My mate (social rider)is keen to do the ride so asked for me to look around for an entry...he is more than happy to pay. Has anyone ever ridden using somebody else's entry (socially that is). I see on the site they say it is 'illegal'. thoughts?

Probably in too...although it is starting to look like I have tick bite fever.

I think we can safely say he's making a living

I think that Burry doesn't really go all out for the nationals...the others, if they want to become great, need to spend more time overseas me thinks

some would say that is training too

If going for just the weekend, ie. Friday to Sunday, one can pack a piece of luggage to carry on as hand luggage with everything needed for the weekend and then the bike bag/box with helmet, cycling gear etc. packed inside will squeeze in under the 20kg single piece of checked luggage. NO extra costs for luggage/bike...

Yep packed planes and the story of 'hot and high'... Airlines normally pretty organised over Argus weekend. Because you have to drop bike off a few days before it will be there on time. If leaving straight after the race ask them nicely 'wif' a if your bike can be on the same flight back...not a huge number fly back on Sunday.

Also got ITB whilst running then did Tour of Durban the week later and could barely turn the pedals. Went for about 5 physio sessions. Also went for orthodics to raise/sort out the flat foot issue. Have had no issues since!!

Yep, just over a minute! Wasn't thinking about a sub-3 at all until the bottom of Suikerbossie where I saw there may be chance, and so almost blew a valve trying to make it, but alas it was not to be! I think these are the reasons we keep coming back for more

I thought one wasn't allowed to ride during holidays?

yep, my old man was pretty chuffed with his 4h150min last year

not really, considering I have only done a max of about 160km since DC at the end of November

did a 3h01 Argus 2011...wonder what I will get?

Is Jellomat the dressing you are referring to? have found this ,with a bandage wrapped around, to work well when sleeping...stops all the sticking to sheets etc.

scam...

WOW congrats that is one of the events I hope to do one day. what sort of training did you do?

its not julius is it?? i have noticed he has been picking up weight lately...

must have been 32Gi??

what would be the longest amount of time spent on the hub by an individual over the year I wonder?? the amount of time must be mindboggling
