So, what's the low down on this event??

 

Been "missing" it for the last couple of years due to all the congestion / heat /dust etc.

 

Is it time to make a come-back??

Hey Cassie

 

This was my first Argus - so can't comment first hand on the past races, but I have heard all the 'horror' stories from my mates.

But to be honest, I can't fault this years' race. There was no waiting or queuing on my ride. I rode mid pack on the 52km route, so definately not out front by myself. Maybe it got a little busier later on, but guys that finished behind me said they didn't have any problems either.

One complaint I would have is that the 32km race snakes caught us fairly early on - so there was a bit of congestion as they tried to race past us. But that was only for 2 or 3 km's - so not too much of an issue.

 

I guess the weather also helped - no dust and not too hot :)

 

As far as the ride goes, I'd do it again. However, based on the entry fee and the abismal lucky draw prizes / goodie bag (or lack there of), I might think twice...

Damn, I don't feature in the Racetec results... at all!

Was seconds behind Oli Munnik in the 65km.

All that sweat for nada...

Order has been restored. Results are now correct.

Great!

 

I'm also a mid-bunch rider..so your reflection is very applicable to me.

 

sounds like the 2-day format of this event is actually working..

 

as for entry fees....ja well - Tub of Vaseline with each payment...jy weet mos!!
