Never had a good Argus - 3 outings thus far

 

1. 1990 - 3:36

2. 2009 - 3:45

3. 2010 - 3:46

 

So the year I was doing National Service still remains my fastest :(

 

Maybe 2011 will see that elusive sub 3 finally??????? (Holding thumbs, holding thumbs)

 

Won't be back soon if I achieve that......... just too expensive to be worth it

Done 13.

1995-2007

Best 2003, 2:46

Did 2nd laps a few time but didn't count them.

The 2nd lap is always good fun.

This will be my 6th Argus, nearest was a 3:04 in 1997 but I stopped and helped my buddy who bonked 5km's before the end and missed my sub 3...So it's still haunting me, aiming for a sub 3 in 2012 though, not this year...

This will be no. 11 :thumbup:

 

Best ride was in 2008, when I did a 2:54 - perfect conditions that year.

We have done seven..... all on a tandem. Best was 4h16. I cannot see us now breaking the four hours ever. Left it too late.

20 3/4. if all goes well, 21 this year :)

 

times range everything from 3:21 (including a mechanical on suikerbossie, and a singlespeed with no freewheel from there) and 5:44 on a mountainbike with knobblies and a harry-potter broom that year that they stopped it 'cos it was too hot.

Never done one. Having lived far away, the effort for one race didn't make sense (unless you also take a holiday). Now that I am closer it's easier to say "let's do the Argus", so this year will be my first attempt. Hoping for a Sub 7. I know, I know. At least if you set the bar low enough you'll always achieve your goals. Now there's some breakfast cereal wisdom for you right there!
