YES i am in M too.

I am very keen to join a good group that works well. :clap:

 

What did you have in mind?

 

Making a group to go off the front in order to pick up riders from the other groups to increase our speed... This is my second Argus, and I really would like to get under 3:30, maybe somewhere in the region of 3:20 or faster?

why not go for 3 hours? aim high!

He he, from M? With Boys drive, maybe not. Maybe from E-G ?!?

But i will aim high as i had such bad seeding races (i need to learn how to peak for certain races...)

 

Anyway, Niklasvm, have a blistering race! I hope you get a sub 2h45! You had a good season, i think.

Sounds good. Jump to the back of the other bunches. But we must hold back, a bit, and keep our legs for after Smithwinkkel. Most time is lost by a slow Chappies/Suikerb. I think this is where the real race is - the last 40km or so.

What kit will you be wearing?

It will be my 4th Argus

I wish. Joking with shnavel coz he trains with us quite often. Hopefully all the training pays off this weekend. Good luck

The last time the weather was good, back in 2008, R did a 3:20. Even adding something for Boyes, I reckon M should aim higher than 3:30, though 3's probably unrealistic.

Ha ha Nik, I just hope for any time faster than 3:30! But I won't complain if it's closer to 3 hours!!!

 

PeterM I agree, suikerbossie makes such a huge difference to your time... If you can fly up there, you should easily get under 3:30!

 

I will be wearing UCT kit on the day, and yourself?

I most properly will ride in my blue/white The Outriders kit.

Schnavel, I am in M and very keen for sub 3:30h, did a 2:46 mtb challenge(for what its worth) and feeling pretty strong. Will be wearing a lime green top, black bibs and white shoes, white merida bike.
